Good Morning Sunday 25th December 2022 Christmas Day

Good morning all. A lurker here who follows your gentle thread and the lives of those who post. Couldn’t pass by without wishing everyone a very merry Christmas. I’m sure that like me you all have the joys and sadnesses that the day brings, and also the stress, guilt, laughter, arguments, fun, memories… and everything else in between! My blended family is all to me, so I do cherish us being together - although the Christmas colds and infections may cut our numbers! Also, couldn’t pass by without sending thoughts to Susan, who must be in the worst place. Hope today brings good news.
Merry Christmas x

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas.
Off later to join the family for lunch.
Hoping to hear better news from Susan

Good morning and Merry Christmas all from Polmont where it's currently 8° and damp. I hope you all have a lovely day. I'm having a coffee before heading up to dd's to see the boys open their presents.

May everyone have the best day possible especially Susan. We are all thinking of you and sending our love and prayers. x

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas from a cloudy Glasgow. I hope you all have a special day.

A special welcome to the lurkers!

My thoughts and prayers are with Susan and her family.

A very Happy Christmas morning to everyone.

A lovely lazy one for me as we are all 12 of us off to DSs for Christmas Lunch.

I’m still in bed, waiting for the dog to wake up, minus my early morning cuppa, as I forgot to sort out the Teasmade before bed last night as came in late after the evenings jollities with friends.

Shall go out for the usual morning constitutional as soon as he wakes. Then back for breakfast of waffles, bacon and maple syrup.

My thoughts are with susan’s grandson and his longed for improvement. I hope Christmas Day sees a turning point.

Good Morning Mick and Merry Christmas to all. Both of us in the grip of a bad cold but still a turkey to cook but no guests today which in the circa is a blessing. Have a good day everyone. xxx

Christmas greetings from the Black country.
No presents opened yet DH still asleep, will have my cuppa then wake him. At Dils mums for dinner so a relaxed morning.
Thoughts with Susan little Dgs, and anybody else with sick family and friends.
Have the best day you can everyone however you spend it

Good morning all and merry Christmas.
My daughter and her partner are on their way for breakfast and a light lunch then we are going to my son's for the afternoon and evening. Wishing you all a lovely day and thoughts with Susan. Hoping things are improving 💐

Good morning from cloudy Leicestershire.

DD and SiL are here and I can hear the dog snoring downstairs.

Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and hoping for good news from Susan.

Happy Christmas to you all.

I fully understand the worry for Susan56 and send my heartfelt wishes for a speedy recovery for her DGS.

It was thought our 20 month old GS had strep A too on Thursday on admission but the swab test showed he had RSV and he was placed in an isolation room. Consultant said it wasn’t prevalent at the current time and he hadn’t seen a case for a while. He was discharged last night. When he was first seen his oxygen saturation level was only 83 which is really low. Feeling very cross with the GP seen for the second time on Wednesday who said it was normal for a child with a virus to sleep nearly all the time and eat nothing for days. The actual ward next door was rammed with small children suffering from influenza which seems truly shocking.

Christmas will go ahead. Grandmothers will be at the helm as DGS’s parents haven’t really slept for a week.

Merry Christmas morning to you all from a damp grey West Oxfordshire. Still in bed, what luxury! Family will arrive later, already have DS1 here staying for a few nights.
Susan, thinking of you, what a worrying time for you and your family.
I wish you all a happy day filled with laughter and love.

Good morning and a very Merry Christmas Michael and all GNs. It feels extremely cold here in South Yorkshire. I’m the only one awake yet sitting in bed listening to carols! DD and the menfolk arrived yesterday with mountains of food and presents. I am only to be allowed to be in charge of dressing and setting the table today. I would like to be a fly on the wall next door this morning - their four year old will be in absolute overdrive by now!
Hoping that Susan has better news of her grandchild today.
Good wishes to you all and a happy day!

Merry Christmas all from Inverness where it’s cold with rain, sleet or snow due later depending on which forecast you believe
Enjoy your Christmas meal mick and thank you for starting this friendly supportive thread every morning
DH is popping into his work first thing to lay and then light the big log fires in the restaurant, they’ve a busy day ahead there. We’re then heading over to DD2s house for lunch, we’re taking all the prepared veg and the dessert for later. I’m looking forward to spending the day with them all and then we’ll come home late tonight
Susan56 hope today brings a bit better news
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles and especially those who find today difficult, take care all whatever the day brings 💐

A Very Happy Christmas to you all from our lovely hotel in Kent.
I hope your day is full of all the things you would want it to be.
Eat, drink and be happy with the ones you love, either in person or thought. Love to all xx

Morning all, wishing you a peaceful and stress free Christmas Day.

I need to crack on and put the Turkey in the oven, lay the table then shower and get glammed up for when the family arrive.
We shall raise a glass in remembrance to our loved ones no longer with us.

Thinking of Susan56

Have a brilliant day however you are spending it 🤶🎄🎅🏻🎁

Good morning from a grey Oxfordshire.
Wishing everyone a Very Happy Christmas, thoughts and prayers are with Susan and her family and for those whose Christmas isn’t what they would have wished for.

Morning and a Merry Christmas from a balmy S Hampshire. Grandchildren up at a respectable 7:20 and stockings opened on our bed, first year the youngest doesn’t ‘believe’, at nearly 10, not surprising. Enjoy your lunch Mick and thank you for this thread.
Thoughts are with Susan56.
May you all have a peaceful day🦩🦩

Wishing all my Gransnet friends a very happy Christmas from Anglesey, cold and wet outdoors but warm and cosy inside.
Hoping for good news from Susan

The care he has and is receiving is amazing.Yesterday he was visited by Santa, firemen and a lovely lady bearing gifts.DD said he wasn’t up to interacting with them but is loving his gifts this morning.

We are so grateful for all your support and to all the drs and nurses.

Gosh Susan that is the best news we could have had this morning. My thoughts are were with you on and off in the night.
I hope he continues to improve and can go home soon to enjoy a belated Christmas.

Good morning all and it’s peaceful here. I. Having a cuppa with little pooch snuggled up beside me. Dh still 😴😴😴.

Just us little twosome today! Bliss! We’ll walk the dog, put the Turkey in and take the day as it comes. We’ll have lots of phone calls and facetimes and generally have a relaxing day.

Tomorrow will be different. Son is hosting all the family (first time we haven’t ‘done’ Boxing day. 20 people and 3 dogs!
Will be fun.

Happy Christmas to you all!

Thoughts and prayers to all who are poorly especially the little ones, Susan and Glammagran . 🙏
