Should she invite her husband’s friend’s widow for Christmas?

The holiday season is a time for love, compassion, and togetherness. But what happens when you’re faced with a situation that challenges those values? One woman finds herself at odds with her husband over whether or not to invite his friend’s widow for Christmas dinner. The widow has no family and few friends, and her husband believes it would be a kind gesture to include her in their celebrations.
