Ive thought about holding Christmas off until DH gets home but we still arent sure when that will be. We have heard they will come back stateside some time the week after Christmas but even then it would be at least a week before he gets to come home, maybe longer. I would hate to have my daughter miss out on everything but then again, I hate not having it without DH. So Im wondering if I should hold it off, hold some of it off or just keep his presents under the tree till he gets home. Any one have any thoughts?? TIA!

put out only half your daughters presents on xmas and hold back the other half until your hubby returns? Or does she know everything she is getting?
It's would be horrible for everyone to ask her how xmas was and for her to not have had one. I would imagine your husband would love to be there too, but wouldn't want her to miss xmas either. I imagine waiting for something and not knowing when it's going to happen would be just as hard on her.
You could always do xmas twice and keep his presents under the tree.
2|2|I think saving half of her presents for Christmas, and then half when he comes home is a great idea. |mindylou86|mindylou86@gmail.com|21:01:40|12/02/2010|

3|1|You can also ask your daughter if she would like half her presents now, or wait, and have Cheistmas when Daddy gets home. She may just be proud to say, we are waiting, for Daddy to have Christmas, you never know. I am sure Daddy will be her best present anyway. Good luck, and God bless all of you. for you sacrifices.

4|1|Just wanted to say "YEA" that your hubby will be home soon|couponshelmd|couponshel@comcast.net|07:24:00|12/03/2010|
and that I agree with asking your daughter. She may have already thought about Christmas; am sure if you talk to her, a plan will some to light. Blessings :)
Thanks to your hubby for serving our country! 5|2|Thanks everyone! I did talk to her last night and she decided that we will do half the presents on Christmas and half when he comes home, but she gets to pick which presents are opened! lol|jen_ron|bugsmamma@earthlink.net|09:06:29|12/03/2010|
I want to say Im suprised but she has shown me a lot just how much she has matured over the last year. Shes so grown for only 12. lol

That was such a grown up decision --- it will be nice for your hubby to see her open gifts too. Maybe you'll get a miracle and he'll be home sooner :)|Sara_s_Mom|IClipCoupons@gmail.com|18:03:05|12/03/2010|
