Someone is on the sick list.

A couple weeks I think.  No heavy lifting for up to 4 weeks so Christmas dinner is going to be a bit of a challenge.



It can't happen soon enough IMHO.

That sucks. Are you able to get around at all?

Your husband will have to do the work this Christmas..



Will your parents or your husband's parents visit?

I can walk around the house but I'm not ready to venture out yet.

My mom will be around and my mother-in-law might come up after Christmas.  The fewer visitors the better really as I don't have time to make the house all perfect and bake cookies and such.  It's been hard not to get all bummed out about that fact. :(

If you feel you can't, then don't.  You need to give yourself healing time.

I thought they could bake the cookies and make the house all perfect.

My parents?  Maybe but I would be embarrassed to have them over if my house wasn't perfect.

Cookies won't matter, family does

[RW]

I know.  I keep getting told I have to scale back and let things slide.  Making cookies was something we did as a family every year.  Even my husband got into decorating cut out cookies.  That's not happening this year.



I hold tightly to our Christmas traditions because as a kid with divorced parents, we were bounced around and never had any consistency.  I know it seems so minor but these little things mean a lot to me.

I can understand that RW, but I know my mother would be there whether I asked her or not.

[RW]

And my mother will be there :)
