I always deliberately make the last session before a stretch of therapy-less time a light one. Since he's gone so d*mn frequently, that makes for a lot of light sessions. But I do think it sometimes helps the general positive feelings and sends me into the holidays feeling ok, so I don't at all consider it a waste of time. I think that before one vacation we talked about childhood holidays, his as well as mine. Just the good side of the memories.
I'm thinking of bringing cards to the last session before Christmas if he's going to be away the week after. He *still* hasn't found out his plans, but in the past when it's taken this long for him to decide, he generally does take off. Totally annoying man, not to have told me by now. I told him I needed to know whether or not to dread Christmas. He seemed really surprised that I'd say that and laughed like he didn't think I was serious. They really are clueless aren't they?
