I will say X3 .... Ginger took the words out of my mouth
SBJ ... what would happen if you followed your sons statement and actually went out and got 'that manly' tree?
Here is the thing, Holidays are brutal.... but her coming over to decorate the old tree is a cake eat fest, you are spinning...she is spinning... she comes over and does the traditional thing, everyone gets their feelz topped off and then after you will feel like the rug is pulled out from under you as its all a facade.
With the current sitch, maybe new traditions should be made. Lets say you and kiddo go out and get a manly tree, bring it home and decorate the thing without her. FOR YOU ... this sends a clear signal you are not waiting around for her... not just to her, but also to your kids, this is you taking control of YOUR holidays.
