Thank you for sharing. My eldest who is 8 didnt want to go because she told me she wanted to be with me on christmas. And that we can go there maybe next christmas when i get well. my 2 other girls were very excited seeing their cousins and spending holidays there.
 
I am sorry that you are going through this. Especially with your illness, I pray this is reconsidered. You are the most important person in your family’s life! No one’s feelings should matter more than yours.

The ideas I shared could be used if necessary, but I can’t comprehend how they ever should be necessary. Have you explained to your husband that you are having second thoughts? What do your children think about not being with you on Christmas?

I do believe it is possible to have a meaningful and joyous Christmas under these circumstances. I just don’t believe it is right that you should have to.
 
Thank you… My parents also told me to let them go and spend holidays with my inlaws since they dont always get to spend time with them. i havent told my husband that im having second thought about it. I also want my kids to have a great time even it means without me. thanks to all your messages. theyre very helpful.
 
Are you able to be with your parents and other family this year?

You are a beautiful lady. So giving and willing to put others first. Your crown in heaven will have so many stars!
 
I’m with my parents and brother. Thank you so much for your comforting words. God bless.
 
It must be very hard on her too, not wanting you to be left alone and ill. I pray you will be well enough to travel next year and feel much better in time to celebrate Christmas this year, regardless on what day you celebrate it.
 
I also have Lupus and I understand how difficult it is to travel … I am going to be traveling this year for Christmas … I say a prayer that I don’t get out of the car crippled up. If I were in your situation I would make it a very happy occasion for them to be spending time at your inlaws … I would keep the pain to myself and offer it to our Lord … the most important thing is that your family is there with you the rest of the year … and that they support you with your difficult health issues … remember that this Christmas while they are away. God Bless … you will be in my prayers.
 
Thank you so much. I wish you well. My prayers for you too. God bless.
 
I sincerely wish you and your family the best. You are handling a difficult situation with grace, love, and understanding. I know how you feel, and also how your in-laws may make your husband and kids feel, if they don’t go. I’m not offering any advice of my own, because you just seem to have it so together. I just hope you have some people-friends or relatives-that you can spend part of the day with. Whatever happens, you know you are loved!

I did like the ideas of some others, for using epiphany or some other day for gift exchange, hymn singing, celebrating in general. And, I hope you feel better, soon, as you have learned to live with pain. You deserve a treat. Please, take care of yourself, and have a blessed Christmas season.

And, truly…for you, and your family…

God Bless!
