[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 612526"] Generally, I like them! Often, esp lately, great fun! It was much harder for me and most everyone in the family when difficult child was living at home as she ALWAYS had bad depression, especially on Christmas Day, and did not exactly try hard to feel better....although that might be a little unfair. We had a good 18 years of difficult Xmas days. These days, we visit with our son and his family in another city for Christmas and all major holidays. My husband is adamant that difficult child can not join us if she has caused any major drama trauma anywhere near the holiday...so she rarely joins us....as holidays seem to be a weird time for her. so, I try to have a little mini dinner or lunch with her (she is appreciative) before we go out of town and we give her a gift and enjoy the time together. This, perhaps, is more her speed. I don't know. I DO miss her, but I also greatly enjoy the peace and happiness that comes with normalcy, respectful, calm and polite folks....all that stuff we didn't see for nearly two decades. [/QUOTE]
