Great post. You can tell you turn a corner, you have a new spark. Good for you.

You handled your SIL perfectly.

Unlike you, I have always hated the holidays. Just seemed like an excuse for people to wear tacky outfits &s ing annoying songs but this year like you I want to do it up.

My girls though young love the lights and sparkles so why not make it as much fun for them as possible. We are so blessed with healthy, beautiful & happy children.

I know you have keep your sitch with your H private. If other parents ask about your H or neighbors ask "oh havent seen H in a while", how do you handle it?

Keep up the positive spirit & enjoy the season.

PS your H is a fool
