We will see if H comes by or not. I'm not sure if I will mention it today. May just hold off and 'check' on Friday. D will probably ask about the decorating though, so maybe I won't have to ask again. She is so excited about Christmas this year.

My IL's have been great too. He has put them in such a difficult spot. On Thanksgiving BIL made a toast to how the family had faced challenges that they hadn't had to face before, but that he was so thankful that we were still together as a family. The kids wanted everyone to go arround and say what they were thankful for. I was trying too hard not to cry, and so was grandma. H just looked incredibly uncomfortable. SIL let us all off the hook before we exploded though. lol

I am thankful for still having my family. It so easily could have gone a different way, and almost did. It took some work on my part, and was reciprocated by them, but now we are getting comfortable with each other again. H just pulls back more and more though.

I still suspect there is an OW element to H's holiday plans. Trying not to dwell on what that is. Its a waste of time and energy.
