Christmas

Special occasions are tough in our family too so Christmas isn’t quite the same.

I'm afraid I'm the opposite. I hate xmas and always have, even as a child.

I do like Christmas but realise it can be hard for some. We are estranged from our eldest daughter, though have a close relationship with our three other daughters and their GCs, so is tough. But the special occasions always are.

I love it, it has changed over the years but we are a large family and always have a lovely time . This year my son and DIL are doing Christmas day for 20 of us , my son does most of the cooking and we all help with what ever else needs doing , my five grandchildren will be there the eldest is 23 the youngest is 18 months and last but not least my mother who is 95 !

Me too Tiley I’ve been lucky and it’s always been a magical family occasion.

I love it.

I do (Tiley),. I keep as many traditions as is practical even though we are alone this year we are still looking forward to a lovely Christmas dinner wit all the trimmings. My husband has made the pudding and that is always delicious and I have made a traditional cake but no icing and marzipan in a nod towards healthy eating. . Have a lovely Christmas. x

Christmas is the best. Just love everything about it🎄

I do still love Christmas even though it’s now very different from Christmas when I was a child. Growing up apart of a big family and even though my parents both worked money was very tight.
I remember the winters being freezing getting snowed in 1963 all we had was one coal fire in the living room. The windows were iced up on the inside the whole house was cold.
We didn’t get much a stocking with fruit a bar of chocolate and a penny. One toy and always a colouring in book with crayons. We had a lovely Christmas dinner and we all appreciated what we received from Father Christmas.

I adore Christmas and all it entails 🎄🤶🏻🎅🏻🧑‍🎄
