If you all exchange gifts at Christmas maybe you could all put so much together monitarily and go somewhere where they serve a nice buffet. This way the cost is not a problem for any one person and everyone gets all of what they like to eat. Call ahead and ask for a table large enough to accomodate everyone. Also you could take a nice Christmas decoration for the table. Just make sure when everyone hugs good-bye your son doesn't follow you to find out your location. My youngest son has been gone from me and the family for 12 years now, no word at all. I know hes in Vegas somewhere but don't know where. This situation due to a coccaine addiction. I get misty every now and then, then remember the hell he caused when high and stop missing him. I refuse to be intimidated by my love for the son he once was....
