I suppose that the biggest thing for me is that we are still living together, we will spend Christmas together, and the kids know that we've always done a lot for Christmas. Especially S7, he knows what's going on and is having trouble dealing. I guess I'm concerned that not getting anything sends a bigger negative message than getting something would.
NYS - I having been working mostly on one thread - "Going Home on Tuesday" - and have been kind of journaling, etc. there. I suppose I felt like I needed to start a new thread to ask specific questions, especially ones like this that I thought should be on a diff. board.
Out with the old, in with the new
2006 will be better than 2005
