What the f*ck do I do? We're spending Christmas Eve together (We've been tested). Do I let her find out naturally or purposefully ruin her Christmas myself?

Man, sorry to hear that.
I guess the point is, if you don't tell her, is she likely to know/suspect that you would have known beforehand? If not, I'd say nothing, then when she finds out you can either a) act surprised and shocked or b) sadly say you knew, but didn't want to ruin her Christmas. It also depends, I think, on how your mother takes bad news generally. Is she pragmatic, the sort of person who prefers to be told, or does she like to avoid it if she can? Only you will know how best to approach her. Sorry, I think you're the only one who can make that decision. Are there others you can pass the news on to, who might be better able to make the decision as to how you should proceed?
