Well said Cali- this is not our choice but we can choose to make the best of it.
I was also relatively newly separated last year (Oct) and Holidays felt much more difficult even though H was over all the time.
This year I'm having twinges of sadness but not like last year. I went shopping for some decorations and Advent calendar gifts and had a good time! I'm excited to decorate and celebrate which is good.
H has had the kids the last 3 days since I'm on call so tomorrow will be great to see them! Also S 19 is coming home from college tonight. H is cooking the turkey and stuffing and bringing it over. He asked me what time I want them to come over and they'll be here whenever. Hoping I can stay nonchalant in front of him. Wish me luck!
