[QUOTE="witzend, post: 396437, member: 99"] Well, I always find that with manipulative people that if you give them an excuse (I can't afford to; I'll be working late; I don't have arrangements for the dogs; etc.) they'll find a reason that your excuse isn't valid. It's three days before Christmas, for crying out loud! I'd go with total and complete honesty. "That isn't what I had planned. Next year we will have to discuss it earlier in the season so that no one will be disappointed. I'll see you at x:xx o'clock as planned." [/QUOTE]
