[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 106856, member: 2211"] The only thing I can suggest is that you go slow with everything. If you want to have the impact you're hoping for you will have to be very calculating about each separate event within your Christmas celebration. If you can do that, then I think it will go fine. I personally do not like the idea of using santa to such a degree, as within a few short years he will know that santa doesn't visit your house and still be young enough to remember what you said. I think it may come back to bite you in the behind. But, that was my first thought. I mostly wanted to respond to the paragraph below: My difficult child is identical to my exh - in fact, if I didn't know better, I would have thought someone had cloned him and made him s a girl. They have the same facial expressions, the same Eeyore outlook on everything, the same skewed way of viewing every situation differently from everyone else on the planet, the same phrases and words that make sense to them and leave everyone else feeling slightly uncomfortable, and very similar life views. I left exh when she was less than 2 years old. Up until the past 3 years they've had very minimal contact - for the life of me I couldn't figure out how she could be so minimally exposed to him, yet be so like him. In a nutshell, it's genetics. I try to set her straight and I have seen some areas which my ideals have taken hold over his and I've also noticed that she looks at his with new eyes about things and can see that sometimes he is messed up. But overall, there is only so much you can do with genetics and the rest is up to them. Good luck, again, I'm sorry that you even have to consider this, but I'm sure you will figure out a way to make it work without giving in to the little monsters. Hugs~ [/QUOTE]
