Yep Wes, it was another Christmas from hell to add to my collection (2001, 2002 and 2003 were worse). Never mind, though. I reinvented Christmas.
We watched loads of Christmas movies and I baked a pie which was so huge that there is still half of it in the fridge. We have been eating it for 2 days and will do tomorrow too.
I saw this film called 'The Chance of Snow' which is a Christmas film about a divorcing couple who get stranded at a airport and are forced to confront their issues and end up being reconciled just in time for Christmas! It's a bit airy fairy but it has some great advice in it about M, like there is no such thing as romance dying, it's just that people stop being romantic, and if you want XW/H to take you back, then you have to be the way that drew them to you in the first place, keep wooing them to keep the love alive.
And in this film, the H had had a one night stand, hence the divorce, and it talked about both parties needing to acknowledge their role in the affair and the W's failings that led to the H cheating.
I thought it was all really profound. I'd really recommend that film because around the story was a lot of DB'ing.
The 2 women characters were called Maddie and Kat, which freaked me out a little as Maddie is EX-OW2 and Kat was EA 1 in my M, so that was a bit of a weird coincidence.
Go and rent it out from the DVD store, it's great.
So anyway, I watched that and DD4 watched some kids films and she got to wear her party dress. Then in the evening after she went to bed, I got merry on Rum and Coconut.
Who says Christmas has to be on the 25th? They don't know when he was born anyway.
