Gusmas 2012 Title: Replacement Therapy Author:jule1122 Prompt: Christmas Eve
The first Christmas after the divorce, Jennifer worked a half day on Christmas Eve then realized she had nothing to do. Christmas Eve was always spent with Craig’s family. Molly was already with her father, and wouldn’t be home until late. Justin was God only knows where.
Determined not to feel sorry for herself, Jennifer went to an early movie then picked up Chinese food on the way home. She ended the evening with a few glasses of wine and the first Christmas special she found on TV.
Surprised to realize she’d enjoyed herself, Jennifer made it her new tradition.
