Holiday Disaster # 2??? - Lord Have Mercy, I Hope Not!!!!

Christmas is just a few days away.  Although I've bought lots of stuff, I don't feel very Christmas-y.  I didn't put a tree up (it's the second year in a row).  I laughingly say that I gave up Christmas Trees for lent (LOL), but the reality is that without a house full of kids, I look at the tree as work - something else I have to do, and I just don't want to have to do anything else.  I'm tired from working so many hours...

Despite my desire to not decorate, this Christmas may hold some significance.  D is going to come with my kids and me to Christmas Eve Mass.  He has never been to a Catholic service, so this should be different.  I'm a bit concerned...Thanksgiving comes to mind... even though he apologized, that day showed me that he is not real flexible & my parish is, well let's say, unusual.  Oh well... it was my idea to invite him, so I just need to take a deep breath, I guess, & trust God that this won't be a disaster. 

Quite frankly, I didn't think he would come, so now I am kinda hyperventilating! LOL...

I was trying to be considerate... trying to ensure I didn't infringe on his time Christmas day with his son, so inviting him to Christmas Eve Mass seemed like a good idea.  He could spend a little time with me & the rest of the time with his son.  Then I could spend time with my sons, cook, and have dogs running around and relax. 

Hopefully this won't be Holiday Disaster #2.  I'll just wait and see.

I really hope this scene isn't a climatic disaster - you know how some playwrights think that only conflict makes things interesting!!!!  OMG,  I'm hyperventilating again!
