Evidently SD called H and invited him to Christmas dinner at 12 noon on Christmas Day.  She wants us to come over to help them finish up the ham they are having on Christmas Eve, her husband's sister is coming over for Christmas Eve.  Okay, but why noon, you ask.  Well, they want to get us in and out so they can play with all their new toys etc.  Not quite the way she put it, bt you get the drift.

H told her we are late risers and only have breakfast at about 10 so that is way to early for us.  Okay she said, and that was that.  Nothing about maybe later, or stop by.

All of a sudden it hit the fan with H.  I don't like his daughter and she LOVES me.  Why, because when she called she asked about me.  I am trying to make him hate his daughter, and on and on.

Now none of you really know me, but I can honesty say that his daughter scares the begesus out of me, truely.  Something is just, well, off.  She is mercurical, nice one minute and totally changes the next.

H did tell me that when she was growing up she would get upset and start crying if she wasn't getting her way.  He talked about the family playing Monopoly and that when someone bought a house, and she didn't have one, she would cry and quite.  Obviously not much has changed.

She has a vicious mouth about people.  Everyone is a loser, less than, has problems except she and her hubby and adult boys.  When I say vicious, I mean vicious.  I have never been one for gossip and have always helt the opinion that if someone tears someone down in front of you, they will do the same to you when you are not around.  H, he just lets it go and lets her talk.

Right now I am in tears and totally upset.

What I really think is going on is that I am catching the brunt because she didn't set it back or tell us to drop by later etc.  Noon was cut and dry.  By the way, she knows we are late risers and eat breakfast late due to meds that require you to wait 1 hour before eating.

Oh goody! An invitation to finish the leftovers and clear out the refrigerator.

DH was the one who decided to tell her the time didn't work for him. Why is he mad at you? 
To me, it sounds as if he really didn't want to go. If he did, he would have wanted to get up earlier to go.
