For the nephew, I'd do whatever you want to do in your name only.

I would skip Christmas cards this year.

I agree w/Rose's advice. I would send a card w/a small gift to the nephew in your name only. I wouldn't share what you have done w/your w. After all, you are separated at the moment and what you do is none of her business and vice versa.

As for the Christmas cards, if you have a few very close friends or family members (who know about your situation), then send a card, but only in your name...otherwise, I would skip them this year. There's no need for everyone to know what is going on w/you and your w at this time. Again, I wouldn't share what I was doing w/your wife.

P.S. Time to start a new thread.

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
