Scrooge H is visiting this holiday again. Well okay, not quite that bad, but the grumpy H is surfacing. I had hoped that maybe with the better year behind us H wouldn't get the crabbies this year. <sigh>
Shopping is done, I didn't have a lot to do though, just have to wrap today!
I hope everyone has a season of joy and peace and something to smile about. If you can't find it, create it!

WCW, Your h is still processing everything in his mind and he's most likley still not comfortable in his own skin. He's still not up for the whole family/holiday excitement. Leave him alone and allow him to sit in his corner and pout for a bit...he'll come around before the holiday is over.
I'm sure you'll get all of the wrapping done in record time and still have time to enjoy the rest of the day.
Yes, we all need to find something to smile about...even if we have to fake it.
Merry Christmas!

Thanks snodderly. I think what made H scrooggie is that he didn't get me a gift and felt guilty over it. I thought that's what was coming and I am fine with it. The weird part is when someone asks what I got from H, I tell them that I have him on reserve for something in the future.
Overall the holiday was low key and quiet, and that was good!
I think the best part was when my Mom told me she saw the sparkle in H's eyes again and she hasn't seen that in a long time.

I would agree that your h felt guilty for not getting you a present...but you know what? The best gift you received is the comment that your mother made about the twinkle returning to your h's eyes. That's a gift that you needed to receive.
He'll get back into a better mood towards the end of the week. The holiday of gift giving is just about over and he'll feel more comfortable w/himself when it is over.
Enjoy your time w/him and just relax!

You are so right snodderly, the best gift was from my Mom and she didn't even know it! Mom's are always right! lol
Today H is already better, he's talking about ways to improve and grow his/our business. He's looking for more help, and I offered if it was something I could do, or if that wasn't a good combination for H/W to get into. He said he thought it could be done. We'll see if he accepts my offer or proceeds with a plan he was forming.
We have NYE plans, together! Friends invited us to a movie in town and then house party. H said he would skip the movie but will go to their house after the movie. This is the first year in so many that we are doing something AND together on NYE! oh golly, would a midnight kiss be expecting too much? wait wait - DB101, no expectations!

I am glad to see that he is improving today. Offer, but do not push when it comes to the business. New Year's shall prove to be interesting. No expectations!

You are just such an inspiration to us all, and especially me. May next year be the one where he fully integrates himself into the R.
Take care.
