I don’t think we do it this early but we do book months in advance with friends and their teenagers to do the same Christmas outing together every year. It’s become a bit of a tradition the children have known each other since they were babies and are close friends.
I do love Christmas and am looking forward to it more than usual this year as extensive building work was being done at home last Dec and Christmas was adapted and curtailed from our usual over the top standard, big plans for 2025 but even we don’t start planning yet.
Help with some diplomatic wording please
Has anyone else noticed their energy levels change as they've got older?
