It's a Soap Opera Christmas!

My BF and I got invited to spend Christmas morning with his 3-year-old daughter and...

...wait for it...

...his ex and her BF.

Should be fun. If we go, I'll bring a brunch dish.

3. Eh, I'm cool with it.

I get along with just about anyone -- even if I don't like them (and I'm neutral on his ex), I get along with them.

It takes a lot to weird me out these days.

4. Too bad Hedges and Dolo and her brood can't make it.

You could write a country song about that.

5. Heh.

Hedges, Dolo and her 5-year-old once came to my place for a BBQ...

The kids spent the entire time running around my apartment, throwing blocks and jumping on my bed. It was fun.

6. Embrace the civility. It could be a WHOLE lot worse.

Believe me, you'd rather have this type of awkward invitation than constant bickering and unrest.

But you probably realize that already.

10. Yup.

My husband and his ex (and me and his ex) are on great terms, and occasionally socialize with the kiddo. We're all doing Thanksgiving together, just like we did last year--and I'm actually looking forward to it. I'd MUCH rather hae this situation than one filled with ugliness and acrimony.
