I was getting settled into my bouillabaisse when momma the shit stirrer really did it. “So when are you guys coming out to New York, what day I mean? I hope you’re not just gonna come up Xmas eve. Your father and I are looking forward to having at least a week with you guys this time. We can go shopping a few days before and Dami we can take you ice skating at Rockefeller Plaza, you’ll love it.” “Wait what? what’s going on?” Haggie had her hackles raised. “You’re going to be gone for the holidays?” “Yes mom, I thought we talked about this before. We spent Thanksgiving with you this year and we’re spending Xmas with Nessa’s parents.” “Yes, well, I didn’t think anything was settled. Our family has always spent the holidays together. I’m sure Jackie and Dan wouldn’t mind if you came later; would you?” She looked at my mom. This lady really is ass stupid. Before mom could answer I felt Damien tense beside me. “No mom, it’s settled, we’ve already made our plans.”
