W's car is broken down...transmission. Definitely something I can't fix, and won't be fixed Christmas eve or Christmas day.
SIL will bring W here "around lunch time" today to deliver wrapped gifts.
Until now the plan for Christmas has been, as revealed to me, W will be here in morning "for Christmas". I don't know if this changes things and didn't ask yet. I dont know what time, if she plans on eating with us, spending the day.
The car definitely makes things more difficult.
The idea of W staying W/us Christmas eve has been mentioned not discussed, I think on Friday.
Then there is the issue of her going back to work in a few days. If W were living here (or "on the farm" with one of her Ss), broken car inconvenient but nonissue. I could drive her to work. S and D and I could share cars w/her.
Do I: A) keep my mouth shut, make her figure out the situation? i) Whatif she asks for help/ideas? She often does.
B) offer the suggestion to stay here, use our cars, see how lovely we can treat her? (I think I know your answer to this one...brainstorming and listing all possibilities that come to mind.)
C) Give her my car to take. (Not sure if I am willing at this moment. Brainstorming. I may devote some brain waves to WHY I am hesitant, later. I have a busy morning ahead)
D) Some other hybrid, or totally different action I haven't though of?
A) or C) would be a 180, but so might some other idea D)
Any ideas/input?
