Thanks Buzz. :) We haven't actually discussed it yet! It's crazy, my parents are totally dysfunctional in general (could start hundreds of threads on them if I weren't already resigned to it) and they still do everything together, even sleep in the same bed so basically so far they've only focused on the house rather than the divorce. For all I know they will still spend Xmas day together! (with my dad's mum at her sheltered accommodation place) and they've already said they are happy to continue visiting us together (
) so that may include boxing day.
I could cope with just one of them being here on the day I think - its just both of them together that is really 'meh' as they don't do anything. If it's just one of them they may get more into it perhaps. I want to invite a couple of lonely friends too. I'm going to leave it a while though as they don't even know where they'll be living yet and I won't know my work rota til October, and DH's operation may have happened, and I have been unwell a lot. Just a whole big mess really, there's the added complication of my mum's brother (the one who sexually abused me for years) - I know my mum still occasionally sees him secretly and TBH the thought of them spending Xmas together kills me.
Sorry that wasn't meant to be such a massive rant! I am excited about Xmas despite all this.
On a lighter note, I got some little Daleks in a sale yesterday which will go in DD's stocking. Also a little Amazon package arrived which DH is hiding, I know it's either for Xmas or my December birthday. Had an idea for DSD - somehow I'm going to try and find out if there's any diving competitions involving Tom Daley next year and attempt to get tickets?! I would be stepmum of the century if I could fix that, she luffs him :o
And now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go and drool over the newly-arrived bookpeople catalogue. Good day to you all :o
