Re: [UUPoly-L] how were your poly holidays?

[Roza Anthony <anthony.roza@gmail.com>]

My partner and I went to his parents' house for Christmas, but he went down
a day before I did, so my new sweetheart got to spend the night with me at
our house.  As I'm not going to ask my partner to give up his bed for my new
sweetheart, this doesn't get to happen much, so it was nice.  Also, my
sweetheart is Jewish and my partner and I are most or less atheist, so it
makes the winter holidays simpler.  For New Year's, I spent New year's Eve
with my partner, and then New Year's Day night with my sweetheart.
