I may get my Christmas wish this year.
It's a long and slightly crazy story.
Both my wife and I were married before and have kids from those marriages. So... our kids have to try to split up their time between their other parents and their respective inlaws. We were working it out, but then my brother inlaw and his family moved here and them my mother inlaw and that made it more complicated. Then a couple of our kids have inlaws that are very demanding of their time.
It's been really disheartening for me to not have both my boys with their kids together with me on Christmas... Nobody's fault... Just circumstance. The same has happened for my wife. Just can't get her kids together.
So, this year, it looks like we can get ALL our kids with ALL our grandkids together for the Sunday after. No other relatives... Just us. Sandwiches and chips for lunch and some quality hanging out.
I couldn't care less about getting something... I buy what I want, when I want it. This is what I've wanted for the last few Christmases.
