Ahhhh, how wonderful StacyMay! good for you hon. it seems like being with someone you truly love has won out! and your 85 year old neighbor, it may be her only joy of the season to be with you and your boyfriend. how kind of you.
i spent years trying to please my mom who was determined "family" was numero uno at the holidays, so we all faked liking being together every year and i hated it. but then i somehow got the courage and started putting in to work the holidays and so finally got out of the torture!
could you somehow have a "holiday after the holidays" with just the people you really care about? just a simple dinner out maybe?
now that my sis and i have reconciled in our older years, i am making up a "Christmas goodies box" for her and my nephews of old pictures i found, an album for them, a pair of comfy jammies, funny notes and nice things to brighten her Christmas (she will be on disability soon) and a couple of things for my nephews who are wonderful men now. it's so much fun, i can stay at home and off the roads, and it fulfills all my needs to enjoy a sense of family over the holidays. (sis has stood up too, for the first time, but we have each other and that is enough)
Merry Christmas StacyMay (and your wonderful boyfriend).
