Good morning Christmas Eve ? ? ? ? ⭐️

Happy Christmas everyone ?

Just read your news baubles, while waiting for a phone call from DD with their lateral flow test results. So sorry, what a disappointment ?x

Happy Christmas one and all. I read everyday but seldom post. We have postponed Christmas this year as our DGS had a stroke 2 weeks ago so he is miles away in Edinburgh sick kids hospital for the next few months. We had his brother with us until yesterday but DS and DIL have been lucky enough to get some accommodation at the hospital so they can all be together which is wonderful. Hope everyone enjoys the big day. ????

I am a 'lurker', only occasionally join in but always read, everyday. My aim is to join in more! Wishing you all a happy, peaceful and healthy Christmas, one that is joyous and kind. Best wishes to all.

How lovely to hear from so many so called lurkers, it would be great to hear more of your news (and the weather where you are!) ??

Oh Maria59 I hope your little grandson makes a full recovery. Sounds as though it will be a long road. Thinking of you.
You too Baubles, what a shame and so last minute.
I just popped back hoping EnaSharples might have come on, she sounded very depressed yesterday. If you’re reading Ena, hope you come back.
Have the best Christmas you can everybody ??

Not Good Morning now but didn’t want to miss posting my Seasons Greetings to you all. Hope everyone has the best Christmas that they can given whatever circumstances they are in. X

I still have t managed to read the posts but want to wish EnaSharples a very merry Christmas if she’s reading.

What a lovely photo* kitty *,oh *baubles *what can I say ,once again I want to thank you all for your good wishes my poor oh must be tired of doing everything but he does it quietly .think it's nap time best wishes to you all ,hope your grandson makes a full recovery maria59

Sending good wishes to your GS and your family, Maria. A worrrying time for you all.?

Maria, I am so sorry to hear about your grandson and I too hope he makes a complete recovery. He sounds very young.

Our eldest son had a stroke aged 35 and I know how awful that was for the family but for a child it must be totally devastating for you all.

Please come and let us know how he is if you are up to it.

Thank you for your kind wishes. kittylester DGS is 8 we are taking strength from him as he has been amazingly brave. He has lost mobility of right side his speech and ability to swallow. There have been tears but now we need to be strong. Mobility is slowly coming back to his leg and he has managed a couple of words not clear but definitely words. I am so grateful for video calls as visits are not permitted in these strange times but so wish to give him a hug

Maria

Maria59 I hope he is getting plenty of access to therapy, especially speech and language. Awful as it is, children often recover better than adults as their young brains are quicker to adapt. I wish you and your family well

Yes, greetings and a Merry Christmas to all gransnetters from East Kent-sur-mer. Thank you for your company this year, it has given me much joy. A virtual hug to anyone who finds this time of year especially difficult ?

I too send good wishes to your grandson and your family at such a worrying time Maria. I hope he makes a full recovery.

Maria my very best wishes to your grandson and to you and your family.

Oh so sorry Baubles - us too, it’s rubbish! DGD has Covid and now it’s a game of ‘who was near her when’ SIL has a chest infection. Son sneezing. Feel like putting a big sign up - Christmas Cancelled Until Further Notice’ but instead I’ll have a gin and hope for the best. Good luck everyone! X

Thinking of all those with real problems not just worrying about a couple of stressful days like me. Best wishes to you all xx

Sending very best wishes to your DGS maria and hope he makes a full recovery ?

It’s Christmas morning here in Australia
I’m still in bed mulling over lovely memories of Christmases past
Today is cloudy & wet yet again, but I have a happy heart having received a huge bunch of beautiful flowers from my far flung family yesterday. Lunch out at a friends restaurant today So no cooking for me. After years of cooking for a huge family it’s quite novel.
Enjoy your celebrations everyone & to those alone like me enjoy your happy memories & know that where there is love we are always in one another’s hearts no matter how much physical distance there maybe between us
Love & joy to you all ???

Tamayra happy Christmas to you this morning. DH and I are a little drunk and we have opened our presents already, makes me feel better knowing it’s Christmas Day somewhere ?

You will sleep well, Scentia??????
I have had fake Buck's fizz. Unfortunately, I am certainly not drunk! I'm really quite envious.?

Merry Christmas, Tamraya, it sounds as if you have had a lovely day!
