“Your stepmother and I would like to know what your schedule is to see if we can have you over for Christmas.”

“I thought you said that you didn’t get in between my stepmother and I, and that’s the reason why you didn’t tell her about my grad school.”

“That was just about you. This is Christmas for me too. And we’ll work around you.”

“Really? Because what about my stepsister? She’s married too, and she has her dad’s family. Have you talked to her about when to have Christmas yet?”

“Her in-law’s are in Pheonix already.”

“Well my in-laws have been the same for the last 6 years dad. They have spaghetti on christmas eve around 6.”

“Well, we have to work around that.”

“You know that mom has always worked around you? Since the divorce, anytime you wanted to have it she do something whenever?”

“I’ll call you if we can schedule christmas.”
