    I'm kinda sad, this is the last Christmas I'm having being with my wife. I feel sad but enjoying it all the more.

    2014 is the start of my new life.

    Well it depends if they want me once I leave, if they do. I'd be there in a heart beat! But realise thus might not happen

    Hmm, you have a whole year for building the bond. Try not to disappear from their lives, and it should be fine. At least with your kids.

    Its my 1st Christmas w/my Son. I let him chose size of tree. Have mostly new ornaments but kept a few from old tree too w/sentimental value. Its a balance of creating new traditions but also keeping some old traditions that make it more "home-y" for son.
    I was where you are last year. Its a mix of sadness,the guilt of letting go of past & joy for a future of new possibilities! Hugs!

    I will be there myself. Decided this will be the last year of playing charades. Will be moving to separate bedrooms after the holidays, planning to sell the house in the spring.
