Oh, and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

or

A Christmas Story (You'll shoot your eye out, kid!)

Maybe do something totally different? One year on Christmas Eve we did a Mexican theme instead of turkey. Enchiladas, nachos, margaritas, fun!

Go to the zoo, head to the monkey cage. Take a picture of you and a monkey in the background. Then e-mail it to your WAS with the caption: "Just ran into your Mom at the mall."

Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.

Quote:
My first Thanksgiving out of the house my MIL invited me to dinner the day before. I had taken advice from reading on here and already had plans to work at local college's thanksgiving dinner for their international students.

Best thing I could have done. My family asked if was ok to invite StBX, I said yes, and he declined.

We have done variations of the 'other side' of the family get togethers for the various holidays, since I WA... sometimes awkward, sometimes just like old times.

It has helped me to remember it's "just a day" & family memories can be made anyday.. they are not calendar dependent.


This is good advice.

Do not end the day without having a plan for Thanksgiving.

I love idea of volunteering somewhere if you need a place to go. Keeps you busy, humble, grateful, giving and fed. You would be surprised where you can find some grace, mercy and love. Handle it like a warrior. Strength and Honor.

Cheers

Awww Coach -

You are so sweet and so very right, though day by day I find a teeny piece of that puzzle put back in place...

Time really is our friend. smile
