Mary I think if you can make it you should really try to go to your DD's house for Christmas. If you don't, she will spend her entire day thinking about how you're feeling home alone. Make the day nicer for everyone and go. It won't take long for you to feel comfortable. I Hope you go...
I wondered what a "Chinese Christmas was too. When I was a kid we used to do a "chinese fire drill" where we would all get out of the car and switch places" wonder if a "Chinese Christmas" is one where you draw names or buy a generic gift and keep trading them until the game is over... Got me!
