I am so happy to read that Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were a huge success. Sounds like you really didn't have much time to think about the MLC monster.

As for the wine, during MLC, their tastes in food and drinks changes, i.e., just as their personalities did. Eventually, he'll get better and will begin to enjoy the items that he's not in favor of right now.

BTW, be careful on that scooter! I don't want to come here and read that you've fallen and hurt yourself.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday! Sounds like the new year may hold a lot of promise in the way of things calming down and hopefully your h will come to realize what he thinks he's missed is actually right in front of him in his home where his family is living.

Enjoy!

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
