Can’t be bothered, 🎄 fatigue.

I haven't made any yet.

Yep that's me exactly.

I love mince pies, just chuck some over will you ?

We will be having a quiet one - just me and dh, but some pre Christmas family socialising that was planned for very soon, now isn’t going to happen, because one lot (A) have a very nasty bug, which we can’t risk passing via B to C, who’s very vulnerable anyway, and is only just beginning to recover from a serious illness on top.
So I’m feeling a mite deflated.

I’ve been consoling myself with the mince pies made yesterday (2 dozen) of which there are now just 2 left 😱 and for once I can’t accuse dh of pigging most of them.
In my defence I did give 2 with his cup of tea to the young chap who looks after the communal landscaping.

Usually I am excited and keen but not this time. I’ve bought most of the kids’presents and I am getting Christmas bags for them, can’t even be bothered wrapping ‘em up. Maybe I need a stiff drink ( but it is only morning here, not such a good idea).

Yes, I have, I'd just like to hibernate.

We had Covid about 8 or 9 weeks ago and I'm having to push myself.
We've got a few social events in the next week or so and I'd usually be looking forward to them all.

Yes I have CFS too quite bad atm but even without it I just done like all the pressure and its lovely to see family/friends at a less pressured time.
I don't feel there has to be a reason, nor that the whole full. monty is a "norm" I am departing from.

As I make my bed in the morning I am very tempted to climb back in!
You are certainly not alone.

Yes, that's me this year, and M E. doesn't help.
I'm doing things like wrapping presents, and trying hard to care, but the feeling isn't there.
And I agree with Barmeybat about the causes, plus now we have scarlet fever. Its all so depressing.

I'm quite happy with a small quiet day. The full monty just isn't for everyone and never was for me tho made a big effort when DS was small. Hoping for a sunny crisp day for a walk.

Yes, me too, nanna8, although I’m trying to rise above it. I just wish ‘Christmas’ didn’t start so early. If only it wasn’t so commercialised, I think I’d feel differently.

Nanna8 you are ahead of me I haven’t even written my cards yet,mi don’t think I am going to send many this year. I also find it hard to do anything and I am not depressed but I just can’t be bothered with anyone. What’s more Mr B and I are going to have Christmas on our own by choice. About the only thing I do is go out for a cycle ride a few times a week and that’s it. I have put it down to the time of year, the state of the country and family deaths. Hope next year will be better for us all
