I'm in an odd spot this holiday. Since H & I have been together, and especially since D was born, our holiday has been just going allong with MIL's ideas of how things should be done. Generally more stress than fun.
This year I am going for my 'perfect' Christmas. Less gifts, more charity, more time spent with my girl. I'm building a new holiday tradition that I won't want to give up even if H came home.
Irony is that H always wanted things slowed down with less emphasis on gifts too. Who knows, maybe he will end up joining us, though I suspect he has made plans with OW.
Oops, supposed to be thought-stopping about all that sort of stuff...
Oh well, if he doesn't come, it is his loss. D3 & I will still have a great time.
