I am so glad to read that you and your family had a very nice Christmas. Treasure all of those wonderful memories that you made over this holiday. Your in-laws enjoyed themselves and it's good that they were able to come be with you and your family. You just never know what tomorrow brings when people begin to enter into their golden years.

Congratulations on the new car. I agree w/your h. It's best to get another one because it doesn't sound like the mechanics can locate the issue with the old one. Each time you take it in, it's more money passing hands and still no answers. At least you now have a reliable car to take you wherever you need to go.

I honestly don't think your h is going anywhere in the near future. He is content and you have been extremely good at giving him his space. It doesn't hurt to call him out once in a while. He's in teenage mode and just isn't aware of how things should be.

I would continue to peel back the onion on your life and finally get to the bottom of all of those things that you have stuffed down over the years. You will feel so much lighter once everything has been revealed.

You have so much to be grateful for. Many do not have their partners/spouses with them during this holiday season. Your h appears to be doing everything he can to make it a nice holiday for all.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday. So much magic takes place during this time of the season.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
