Since H is living with OW, should I get him a little something for Christmas? Is a card okay? I've made one out and just signed it "have a wonderful and peaceful holiday. God bless you. W" Is that okay? I actually have presents for H that I bought BA, but I don't think I want to or should give them to him. It's Christmas and I want to do SOMETHING special for him. It's probably more for myself since this is my first X-mas without him in 7 years. What are you guys doing, for those of you whose spouses are 'elsewhere' for the holidays??

I'm going all out (not expense-wise, 'cause, um well, you know!). Just like usual. Mushy card, sentimental or special gift. I did it for his b-day and he was moved. Cried and smiled and everything. AND decided he wanted to come home. 'Course then he decided he didn't. <P>I love Christmas and I love him, so I'm just doing it!<P>Good luck.<P>Lori

Well, I've got the card ready. I'm going to send it later this week. I thought of a present and I can use something I already got him. <BR>Background: We were supposed to move to Florida in May after I graduate. We have lived their during my internships over the past two summers. <BR>The present: The present is a pair of swimming trunks (I got on sale for $5!). They are a kind that I KNOW he would like and I used to make fun of, although I thought he looked good in the ones similar to these. I figure they will remind him of what OUR future holds and also let him know that I am not trying to change him or make him like what I like. Make sense?<BR>Anyway, I guess I'll see what happens between now and then. If he files, then I probably won't give him anything.
