Anyone else just chilling in peace on Christmas Eve?

[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 642807, member: 17461"] So the neighbor and the woman? Spent their Christmas Eve at a local island bar because, as the neighbor called out this morning after husband asked, with just the right amount of "who cares" where they'd gone last night...it was the only place open. ? Still in a huff, but in a sort of wobbly one now, husband and I said Merry Christmas and just generally behaved like people who have been stood up on Christmas Eve. Kind of like the other people were acting, too. Not legitimately so, we told ourselves, very sure we are the injured party, here. [I] And we have the unused makings for The Feast of the Seven Fishes to prove it. [/I] But then I ran over to talk to the lady we are having dinner with tonight. And who should have the gall to walk over in his tophat and tuxedo t shirt but the neighbor and the woman. Who, being nicer than I am, seemed more puzzled or hurt than spitting mad like husband was. Oh. Wait a minute. That was me who was mad. :O) So after about one second of small talk, I asked what happened last night. They said they didn't know but spent alot of that time at the bar talking about the Feast of the Seven Fishes they almost had, until they didn't. So tonight, we're all going dinner. The groper? Saw husband this morning when he was walking the dog. He thanked husband for the Christmas invite. (This was a sort of on the back burner thing, as there was a possibility he would be invited elsewhere. After the probable groping, I didn't call to check again whether he would be alone or whether his people had come through. And I certainly wasn't going to go over there.) In any event, he thanked husband, but told him he had been invited elsewhere, as he had told me he might be. I did not tell husband about the probable groping maybe-just-a-long-and-difficult-to-get-out-of-hug and shirt pulling. Maybe the man really was falling or something. He has always been such a nice man. Cedar [/QUOTE]
