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

I didn't see my bf much over the holidays.  Hubby and I were able to attend a small gathering at his house the Sunday after Christmas.  His wife and I are becoming closer freinds, so it was nice to spend time with her.  I met her mother too.  I knew our time would be limited, with him 2 hours away from me, but  I handled it much better than last year when I cried my eyes out a few times, lol.  It's amazing how much "poly growth" I experienced in 2009.   I've learned to live more in the moment and not to have expectations.  I was just grateful I could spend time eating cookies and sipping wine with  his wife and watch an Eagles game with him (helps that they won, lol).
 
Wishing everyone a happy, healthly poly-filled 2010!

Since we've been so quiet, I thought I'd try and generate some discussion.

I'd like to hear of the poly-holiday success stories.....perhaps how 
people worked things out (love to hear win-wins)........as well as 
the poly challenges and what might have been learned and how you 
might do things differently in the future.

I'm a single woman who has a few partners, most at a driving 
distance, one not.  None of my partners considers the holidays of 
critical importance, but some do have their own traditions, as do 
I.  So, for us, it wasn't an issue......everyone did their usual 
thing of celebrating or not.

I worked New Year's Day (0630 - 1930), so couldn't really go out NYE, 
but one partner's wife was working, so he came down to see me which 
was really nice and we spent the evening together at my home and I 
went to work and he went home after he woke up.

So, while I don't have a lot to contribute on this subject, I'd like 
to hear from others as we reflect on our holiday time.
