A, I think it's a wonderful holiday idea that your daughter and BF have planned. It's a new tradition and they wanted both families to be involved. If your d13 will go along w/it, I think it will be a beautiful Christmas with your family and his.
It sounds like you've got a good handle on the Open House invitations. I'm confident that they will be beautiful as they always are. You are a very gifted lady who has style in class no matter what is thrown at you.
I suspect your holiday this year will be different, but also fun w/many memories to cherish in the years to come.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
A, Could you do me a favor... Will you please post your wonderful Open House idea on my thread about new traditions for the Holidays. It is in MLC on the top of the forum.
It's a fab idea of yours......I wish I lived closer!!!!
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
You are such an organized person! I wish I were more so.
I must really learn how to make greeting cards --- I think that would be something that would calm me down and give me something to do between assignments for uni.
Take care, and have a brilliant week!

ACJ, your H is still so far in the tunnel. I don't mean any disrespect to your H but he sounds like a child that won't let anyone play with the toys, even the child they belong to as well.
Don't worry. Someday he will grow up.
You are an amazing woman. He is making such a huge mistake.

Yes it is very therapeutic but I enjoy it so much that sometimes when I should be doing assignments for uni I'm card making

No offense taken MMF. You know taking this quite literally H always had to win, especially at Monopoly, even when the kids were too young to understand what winning and loosing was. I'm all for competition as the world cannot exist and revolve without it but you are right there is a time and a place and he has never learnt when that is.

I bet your H is what Dr. Phil calls a "right fighter" --- more interested in being right then being happy. I used to be like that, but life has taught me that sometimes ya just gotta let some things go.
You're sound a lot chirpier today --- sure hope so.
