My son will probably stop by, but he doesn't stay over anymore because he's allergic to my cats. Also, he has a serious girlfriend with family near them, so I imagine they'll be going there. I'm ok with it. Since the divorce, I have them Christmas eve and morning and then they spend the rest of the day with their dad, so I've always spent most of the day alone. But what do I do about their stockings? That was always their favorite part. I guess I could fill them and mail them and make sure they get the stockings back to me afterwards. No more getting up in the wee hours to fill them. That's nice. I'll have to think of a really special treat for myself for Christmas morning. Any suggestions?
