Happy Christmas Mick and All from the Brighton area.
Last evening our ‘almost ‘ daughter in law introduced us to a Columbian Christmas Eve ritual. It was just wonderful. She had put a crib scene on the top of a cupboard with twinkling lights. We turned off all the lights and one by one we each of us lit a tea light and made a wish. Then we all gathered together in a family hug. The 3 boys were then allowed to open one gift each. It was magical.⭐️
Merry Christmas everyone and all best wishes for the new year.Let’s hope we all find peace and joy. Thank you Gransnetters for your kindness over the past year.xx🎄🥰
Happy Christmas to you all
We are off to DS and DIL for the day and will be joined by DD2 and family.
Good morning from a calm Torbay.
Like Greyduster, I was moved by your post, Pantglas2. We all appreciate Mick’s reliability in opening up every morning.
A quiet day for the two of us here but I would like to try a walk if my legs feel inclined later! The bruising from my recent mystery problem which put me in hospital continues to show interesting colours!
Bellasnana: I spent a year in Michigan in 1971/2 when the lack of snow was a disappointment to the ardent skiers!
Wishing everyone happy times in whatever company you are today. 🦩🎄🎁🎅🏼🦩
Happy Christmas to all. We are having a quiet Christmas, just me, DH and DD, but it is the quiet before the storm. DS, DDiL and DGC are having this Christmas with her family and descend on us for a week on the 28th.
Good morning and a Very Happy Christmas to Mick and everyone from our hotel in Madeira.
Enjoy the day and make lasting memories, much love xx
A foggy Christmas Day here in Oxfordshire.
We had our Christmas Day yesterday, when MzOops and the GCs get up this morning they will have an early lunch ( the GCs won’t get up until late) and then drive back to Cornwall, not ideal I know, but there you go. I will relax once they are safely home.
We had a lovely day yesterday though, MissOops also came to stay, dog is still poorly so is with Nephew who doesn’t want to see any of us over Christmas. Let’s hope he soon moves back to his own place where they will have installed some heating.
I hope everyone has a peaceful Christmas. Thanks Mick for opening every morning, it’s much appreciated.
Good morning and a Merry Christmas to you all from the Black country.
Over to DiLs mums for dinner then present opening afterwards there will be 10 of us.
Glad your pre cataract went well grandMattie
No Marydoll for a few days hope things are ok.

Merry Christmas from a still dark Durham. I’ve had pics from both DDs and it would seem ‘he’s been!’
DD2 and family due later to enjoy festive fizz outdoors, in the cul de sac, with neighbours, something started in lockdown and continued.
Best wishes to all. X
Nollaig Chridheil all from Glasgow.🎄

Good Christmas Morning Michael and all GNs from a fairly mild South Yorkshire where I am first up. Family stayed last night which I wasn’t expecting - thought it would only be tonight - but it’s lovely. Pant your post brought a lump to my throat.
There is a very large pile of presents under the tree and I haven’t added mine to them yet!!
Have a wonderful Christmas Day, whatever you are all doing!
Good morning from Polmont where it's currently 11° and damp. GrandMattie 💐 I can sympathise with that feeling.
A very Merry Christmas to everyone. I'm going to dds for breakfast and to exchange presents. Then I'll visit mum. Later I'm going back to dds for Christmas dinner. Then home. Have a lovely day all
Merry Christmas from Malta where the weather is cold.
I watched Carols from Kings yesterday and loved it. Wasn’t so keen on the Royal concert.
Mass this morning then over to spend the day with DD3, her husband, his parents and,of course, the boys.
I had a lovely long FaceTime with DD2 and DGD yesterday. They are in Michigan spending Christmas with her in-laws. There was snow so DGD was thrilled!
Sending a big hug to you grandMattie. I can empathise with that feeling.💐
Wishing a good day to all.🎄
Thank you for the card glammagran, a lovely thought.
Happy Christmas and Hanukkah to all.
I had a successful pre-cataract appointment yesterday, operation for mid January.
Busy afternoon as I attended DD’s crib service, dinner. I had made four pyjama bottoms for the family with an old duvet cover. They seemed to quite like them, May well be wearing them for the grand stocking opening in about 30 minutes.
Midnight mass and subsequent late bedtime. I didn’t sleep well.
Today, stockings, church then recap to SiL’s sister to spend the day there. I feel extraordinarily lonely with all the family. They are very sweet and kind but.,,
Have a wonderful day and I hope all hies well for you.
May the joy of Christmas fill your day,
Carpe diem 🎄🎄🎄🦩🦩
I hope you all have a great day. I’ve sent you all a card.

Nadelik Lowen from a fellow Cornish woman! Not in Cornwall today, visiting family in faraway Birmingham. Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year everyone xx
Nadelik Lowen to you all, from a mild, calm and especially quiet town centre somewhere in Cornwall (no buses or Biffa lorries today 😁).
Yesterday, we had the glorious assembly of around 100 male Cornish voices in our town square, just metres from my flat - a regular Christmas Eve event - singing carols, especially my favourite (Lyngham) version of While Shepherds Watched. As usual hundreds of people turned out to listen or join in.
Today my youngest son will collect me at 10 to go to my other son's house in a nearby village. We'll spend the day with my daughter-in-law's extended family. The four young children will add to the fun for all of us.
Thoughts for all those for whom Christmas is a trial.
Merry Christmas and good morning everyone , I hope you all have a lovely day x
A happy Christmas to all on this wonderful thread - day in, day out, isn’t it just the most constant comforting thing where we come and share our stories 🤗
May you have the best day this year x
