No need to apologize at all. It's just potentially an even more sticky situation since we're separated. Hopefully we'll have no issue, just as we never have the last 23yrs.

Thank you for your prayers.

Bless

Thank you jmahurin. I guess I forgot to mention in this post that my husband and I are separated. I hope and pray also that he is not part of this possible plan with his mother, and will suggest to her, a later time on Christmas day or something, so that our kids don't have to choose.

Lynn,

I will certainly be praying with you. Family situations are never easy to deal with. If I may give you some advice on the situation, do not allow this to come between you and your husband or his family. Allow him to deal with his side of the family as you deal with yours. If an issue arises, quickly seek a solution rather than dwelling on the problem. Do not allow it to be a source of contention, rather find a solution that will ease your mind. Even if it is not a perfect solution, it would be better to compromise a little rather than have a blow up at Christmas.

Lord, I ask You to give Wisdom to Lynn and her family as they deal with this situation. Let this be a time of peace to celebrate Your birth rather than a time of dissention in the family. I know how You love families and ask You to be at work in Lynn's situation now. We ask this in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.

Please join me in praying for God to guide me in discussing Christmas arrangements with my husband. Our typical Christmas (for 23yrs now, every yr since I've been w/husband) involves Christmas Eve at my mom's, my side of the family, Christmas morning at home, us & the kids, then Christmas day around 1, at my husband's mom's, his side of the family. I just got word that my mother-in-law has said that she may have Christmas on Christmas Eve since one of the other grandkids has to work on Christmas day. I pray that my kids will not be forced to choose who they spend Christmas with. I pray that God will guide me & my words when discussing Christmas with my husband so that it doesn't get heated.
Thank you all.

Bless
