PolyamoChristmas

Drumroll please…

It went very well!

For those of you who don’t know, this Christmas was the first time I’ve ever had two partners at the same family event at the same time. M stayed over for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and Dash came by for Christmas Day. My extended family were there including grandparents and uncles, and it went so smoothly I almost couldn’t believe it.

When Dash arrived, he was warmly welcomed, even by those with whom I haven’t yet managed to share the nature of our relationship (grandmothers). He brought food and drink offerings for the family, and joined in with the present unwrapping.

Not a single eyelid was batted, not a confused question or intrusive statement was uttered, even after I kissed Dash whilst saying thank you for my Christmas present while M was on the sofa flicking through his present from me.

The entire day, my whole family just interacted with Dash and M as they would any new or relatively unknown people at a family dinner - asking lots of questions about their lives and where they come from and their hopes and dreams for the future.

My mother even said how nice it was to have both Dash and M for Christmas and what nice boys they are. I feel very lucky and blessed to have such an understanding and kind, supportive family.

I felt ecstatically happy all day, and still do now - the most wholesome and sweet polyamorous Christmas just unfolded in front of my eyes, and it was partly mine!
