Christmas Alone

I know that I have not been on here much but things have been very crazy at our house. We have a new car and my husband had his R&R. Now we are getting ready for Christmas here and it is always hard when we don't have are SO with us. I try to make things fun for the kids and we do fun things every day but I just wish that I can do more for them. The in-laws are coming down for the holidays but it can be hard for me to feel like my self  some times. Do any of you feel like that? I mean my husband and I have only been together for almost 3 years and at times I just feel odd around them, but hey I can deal with it and just have some fun with us. Our kids love when they come. The have so much fun with them. So what do you guys do when your SO is not with you on the holidays
