Advanced merry christmas everyone!.... This coming holiday will be a little different for me and my family. We will spend it with my sister and her family, in her place and it's just me and my kids. Yeah, you read it right, my husband don't wanna go with us. His reason?, he wants to work during the holidays, can you believe that?!!!...oh well, sounds like a good reason huh? but I guess, it's just an alibi... Sometimes it hurts to think that he never did extra effort to be comfortable being with my family as I did with his family. I made his family as my own and almost neglect my real family but hey, I don't really care anymore, I've proven that real family will always be there no matter what. Eventhough it seems like you've forgotten all about them, they're always there to welcome you with open arms and I love them....and from now own, i will do my best to reconnect with them and catch up for the lost times How about you? how will you spend your christmas? Do you have holiday dramas too?

Are you far away from your family? if you do, then a phone call on christmas eve will do wonders. But I hope you're not spending the holidays alone, it would be nice to spend it with friends to make it more merrier...have a blessed christmas

That's great fayol727, We have similar situation and that is we're not complete also. My brother works overseas so he won't be around at christmas and of course as I've mentioned, my husband won't go with us... But I know as simple as it is, celebrating with my sister and her family, I know it's gonna be fun

We are going home to the province and spend it with my family. We've been there two years ago and my daughter is really excited to visit her cousins also. It is the right time to really be with the whole family that loves you no matter what. Merry Christmas!

Wow, I'm happy for you my friend. I hope I can be with my whole family also during christmas but I guess it's impossible for the moment because my brother works overseas and his vacation is only during summertime. And also our parents have long been gone(since we were kids) so basically, we siblings, and respective families are the ones we have....

For the first time in a long time, my husband and I will not be travelling during Christmas. We are staying home because of school obligations and because of health reasons. However, we are happy to stay home and have an intimate time together. We are trying to get pregnant, so this time is very special for us. Staying home also allows us to avoid the stress of travelling and having to deal with relatives. So, we plan on staying cozy in our small house with our English bulldogs--and maybe we might even have a white Christmas this year.

That's a wonderful plan lissahoop and I think there's nothing compares to that. Spending time together will get you both more connected with each other and will bring you closer together. I hope you guys succeed in getting pregnant soon, that will also add up to your happiness....merry christmas

Hello there heartbit, happy new year Well actually, my husband is self-employed, we have a passenger vehicle and he's driving it. He's quite sure that he'll earn more during the holidays...yeah, sounds like a double pay

Most likely we will spend Christmas with my parents and with some other relatives in their house. Since it's just me and my husband with no kids, so it will be a great plan to spend it with together with them.
