According to folklore in my quaint Scandinavian country New Years Eve is the traditional period for elves, demons, goblins and ghosts to change house. Maybe there is more depth behind the folklore than we imagine...

Its a normal cycle. WSes stick it out through Christmas with the kids, but leave in time for Valentimes with the OP.
This is the "season" for new DDays.

Pep - Thanks - I know this will be a good year. In fact, last year was good.
Bigger - I love that explanation.
Send - Yep, no more resolve - if they had any to start with.
BR - I've been wondering how many new folks will be here whose D-day was around Christmas. That has got to be the worse time of year to find out.

Yep, my 2nd D-day was the 23rd after I was under the impression she is "working" on her "feelings". Yep for the OM by calling him.
Febuary is usually a cruel month. It has been for me. 5 yrs ago, D-day beginning of rewriting history of our marriage. This past year she started talking to OM. I hate Febuary.
BR is right though. I am evening wondering if it will happen to me.

believer: Cute!
There is something about certain dates that triggers the WS's to leave, to hook up with the OP. Christmas, New Years are big ones. My friend's H started one of his affairs Valentine's Day, following their reconciliation in May the previous year. Anniversaries, birthdays, deaths of parents, are also triggers and catalysts.
