Our Christmas Day will be at DD2s with DD1, son in. Law , 23 year old DGS and DHs mum.
DD3 and family will join us on Boxing Day having been with her in-laws. Not yet sure who’s house we will gather at but we all live close together so not a problem.

My daughter and I were planning Christmas Day on our own in our new home but her eldest son has now invited us for dinner it seems churlish to say no, his brothers will come in the evening it will be lovely I’m sure but I would also of loved a quiet day.

Is there ever a Good Morning, it's Christmas 🎄 Thread on Gransnet?
We could do that.

It’s just DH and me for Christmas as usual, a nice dog walk but no decorations or presents seems to be the norm now.
I’ll cook something like porchetta and french fries with panna cotta to follow, definitely no saving over a turkey etc.
I just look forward to it all being over and done with!

We've decided to have a different Xmas this year. We usually stay with Sil and spend a few days with her family but there are now four dogs in the house for Xmas and our border terrier becomes anxious and grumpy so we've decided to visit after Christmas instead.
I'm really looking forward to a quieter day with just my daughter from my first marriage and her partner whilst second daughter goes to her partners for Christmas. Some Christmases she's been working so I'm used to her not being around. Christmas changes as families change and I'm ok with that.

I'm likely to be alone on C mas day.

I'm quite looking forward to it.

and it wont cost me money I really dont have.

Smoked undyed haddock, favourite vegetables, savoury treats M n S, a few family pressies, Zoom or face time calls, films or crafts, just hoping for good weather for a bike ride or stroll.

Ot I might miss family but ~I doubt it - they are going goff for c mas to the other grans, I could go, but frankly 5 kids, current conflicts in DiL family, no where to sleep unless its a living area , food `I dont really like, food that isnt on my diet....
