You'll have to tell him that you'll be waiting up for Santa so you can show him where the presents go smile Either that or pretend to go to bed smile

Think it's gonna be the latter. I'll have everything ready to go, pretend to go to bed (or really go but set my alarm for an hour or two later and get up again) and play Santa then.

I have got the world's greatest boss. She did make me cry earlier - but she's still the greatest.

Yesterday, my two bosses took me out for lunch as they do every year in the run-up to Christmas. They also gave me a $350 gift card to one of the local malls - definitely can use that. During the lunch we were talking about what our kids want for Christmas, amongst other things.

Anyways, she asks me to meet her in the parking lot today to swap mail (nothing unusual in that as we do it frequently - she works from her home office most of the time) and proceeds to tell me a story about a friend of her and her husband who have a Christmas tradition of giving money to a charity at Christmas instead of buying each other presents. She then said that she hoped I wouldn't be offended but she and her husband decided they'd like to do something similar and she went out and bought the Xbox I'd said yesterday about my son wanting and she gave it to me to give to my son - and specified that it has to be marked as coming from me, not from her and her husband. How awesome is that for a boss! She said that my son and I have had such a shi%%y year and hopefully this would make for a better start to the next year.

No kidding Pud. At least I know someone other than my son appreciates me. She wouldn't have done it if she didn't.

You'll hear his squeals of delight at your place LOL.

H turned up tonight for a brief visit. Four empty seats in the living room and he chooses to sit in the one next to me confused . Lately he's been as far away as he possibly can. Tonight's visit wasn't planned. Maybe he's got the Christmas spirit confused . He wasn't very chatty and didn't stay long, left as soon as S13 went to bed.

Awesome boss for sure! She says its a "pay it forward", but that I'm to consider myself the end of the chain. I gave some food to the food bank today as my pay it forward action.

I'll get it wrapped and I'm going to mark it "This one is to be opened last". He keeps stressing about what Christmas is going to be like without his dad at home. It's about to become his best Christmas ever.
