Just before Christmas I E-Mailed my ex to get directions to her new home. You see my daughter who I hadn’t seen since her wedding a year ago last September was coming up from Fla. for Christmas. Since my ex had the room she was going to spend a week in South Carolina with her mother. So my son and I were going to South Carolina to visit and enjoy Christmas with them. Well my ex sent me the directions and said she was happy that we all could get together for Xmas. So being the person I am, I replied saying I did not know we were getting together for Xmas or when it was but to let me know when it was when I got there for Christmas and I’d try to get off from work. Well it was not 2 hours after I sent the E-Mail that she called me all confused. She said she did not understand my E-Mail that she thought I was coming down for Christmas and I told her I was. She then said but your E-Mail said you did not know when it was or if you can? I then I had to explain that no, I said that I did not know when Xmas was not Christmas. She stated that they were the same and I then said no; that was not true, that ex.’s were for ex-wife’s (like her), ex-husbands or ex boyfriends or ex girlfriends and such not for Christmas. You haven’t changed she stated you are still an A-hole (She used the actual word.), I told her no I have changed a few years a go I would have let the Xmas thing slide. But with all this Political Correctness going on I thought we should be political correct and keep Christmas as Christmas not Xmas. You know we don’t want to upset the politically correct crowd. We both laughed and I told her that I would see her for Christmas. After all she is still one of the best cooks I know.
