Jpeg, thanks, I'm smiling at your thought. I have to tell you, I have a special attachment to you because we are on the same timeline. I know it seems silly but your special for me. Be well
Mutatio - that is so sweet of you to say, your support means a lot. I am trying to Gal. Today my sisters and I are going to take our mother on a Christmas tour. And then i am going to get our house decorated for Christmas and start preparing for our trip:)
PP, I just got back from dropping my daughter off at the train station. She is on her way back up to Boston where she attends university. I miss her already.
Jpeg, We did that yesterday. We do Christmas and Hanukkah so it's a gift extravaganza for the kids.
My D said WAH told her he is buying me gifts for the holidays. The thought didn't cross my mind! Having you all on the board is gift enough for me.
Fogg, as a newcomer to the boards, most of the time I don't post because I'm reading all the posts, learning from them and trying to keep everyone's stories straight. That works best for me.

Mutatio, we are a mixed Jewish/Christian family too, but we dropped hanukkah because I was the only one doing all the work for both and I finally realized if it didn't mean anything at all to the Jewish person in the family, why do both.
I am getting my H a present. He has asked for a men's clarisonic skin care system. A $200 skin care appliance- just perfect for a MLC. (I am terrible I know.) I got the women's version last year and I love it.
H asked me what I wanted and I said jewelry. I think I will reconsider because we will probably break up and I don't want anything sentimental. I am going to ask for tickets to go see Elton John. I can take a friend. Any volunteers?
Mu, I am not planning on it. I got her a gift bag full of various little thoughtful gifts for her bday, and she seemed touched. I suppose I will take the boys shopping for her presents, if they ask. I'm sure that her parents will too. I found a grandmother clock that I was thinking about buying her, but then I got settlement papers. So, kinda took the fun out of trying to buy her a nice and thoughtful gift.

I don't know what to do about Christmas present for H this year. He completely ignored my birthday and our anniversary although last week he asked (texted) for ideas for Christmas Presents for ME and the kids. I think that was his guilt talking? After what I learned about him this past weekend I don't know if M can be saved
Last spring my wife said that she does not want me to make her anymore gifts. I made some fine pieces for her, not junk, not second rate, top shelf work. So I will honor her wish and never make her another thing.Now I will create for my children and one day for my grandchildren.
I do not feel in a giving mood. I am in love with a women who will not talk to me. I love her but do not like her right now. I do not think I will give her anything. I have to think about this.
