[QUOTE="witzend, post: 217069, member: 99"] Thanks all for listening to me stress about this - [i]again[/i]. Jennifer, I won't go into the details of last Christmas. Suffice it to say it ended with me screaming that I would never do Christmas in any way shape or form again, and stomping a wise man to smithereens. I have since modified it to be willing go to a family member's house if they should invite me. L is at this point doing Christmas but only if her father agrees to come with his girlfriend. I don't care if they come or not. I don't care whether [i]anyone[/i] comes or not. The way I figure it, I can behave well enough for an hour or so and I should hope everyone else can as well. That's not always been the case, though. It's the "well, I might not do it if Dad doesn't come" when I said "yes" that got me to thinking that this is not really an invitation so much as it is an electric cattle prod set to "stun". As usual, I bought my Christmas gift for myself on Black Friday. I got a new laptop, which I can use for work and deduct as an expense. I have someone interested in buying my old one, so hopefully it will be fairly inexpensive. I will look for a nice jacket for husband, and that's going to be about it. My gift list isn't going to change depending upon where we go or who we see. husband and I are helping to organize a feeding hungry children during school break thing, and that is where our primary energy will go this Christmas. I feel good about that! [/QUOTE]
