It's been a long rough year with lots of stress and for the first time FIL liked me... I mean honestly seemed glad I came over with his son for the holiday dinner. While BIL and MIL are always loving and welcoming it was so nice to not feel like I was being attacked by FIL (H always deals with it each time it's happened) and feel welcomed to the family by everyone.
Plus I got almost an hour of skyping with my family before Christmas Eve dinner and got to watch the little ones open a couple presents and playing with their new toys (my niece even brought her doll I bought her over to the camera to show me).
So on this Christmas day I am thrilled to say I had a wonderful holiday dinner with my in-laws, H and I went to church together this morning, and we are doing our own little dinner together.
2013 just may work out as a lovely year since miracles can happen :-)
