[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 570630, member: 14557"] Mine has been better than I feared at least till now. difficult child has been able to swallow his disappointment and be happy for easy child over things going very differently for them lately in sports. He isn't feeling good, but tries his best to behave like he was okay. That is best I can ask from him right now. He and husband continue to be at odds but both try to behave. mother in law was mother in law but I have to give her that she really knows how to throw a party. There was almost 30 of us at her place for Christmas Eve (Eve night is the main event of Christmas around here, also gifts are opened then after Santa Claus brings them after Christmas Eve dinner. Our Santa doesn't come during night and doesn't use chimneys, he comes to visit, brings gifts with him and kids sing to him and he gives presents to everyone) and she handled it better than I would ever be able to. Food was excellent and atmosphere nice, and she was too busy to harp too much of me, difficult child or her other currently unfavoured children/in-laws/grands. It was also really fun to be around small children during Christmas (my difficult child is the oldest of the cousin bunch, youngest is only two-years-old and there is still at least one in the way.) We had one of husband's sisters and her family over a Christmas night and that was enjoyable. difficult child's girlfriend also joined us at Christmas day and they are leaving tonight. Also easy child will leave for a camp today. Me and husband will have a lot of visiting and hosting to do till Epiphany. I have really enjoyed having my sons home for Christmas and it has been much better than I feared. But I have to say I have to work quite hard to like my difficult child's girlfriend and I'm not too sure I will succeed. [/QUOTE]
