Bring flowers, yellow ones, with you before ever broaching the holiday plans talk. Present them to her and say they're hers in trade for her cooperation in making your Holiday rich and memorable. Admit that they're just pretty, dying, decorative vegetation; but stress the fact that they're symbolic for your concern for her feelings -- that is, you hope their beauty will shine light into the dark pit that her acquaintance with you has left her in. If she balks, ask her if two hundred dollars cash would make a difference. If she accepts the cash, give her the flowers instead and say, fare thee well. Life is too short, brother man.
