I grew up with and continue a tradition of Christmas 'starting' with a festive high tea/early supper on Christmas Eve, with lunch on C Eve a help-yourself scratch affair. Suddenly realise that this year we will be ten, not all staying in the house. Can't be doing with ten people hunting around, making themselves sandwiches or scrambled eggs, devouring all the satsumas.... Loud resistance to altering the supper scenario, so am looking to invent a new lunch tradition. How do others get round this?

My sister is alone and cannot travel far enough to see us. Instead she always has a great time helping with Christmas lunch for the lonely or homeless and then goes home with the leftovers which delights her. She has an amazingly optimistic attitude.

I feel your sadness maid marion. My eldest daughter has not spoken to me or her sister for twenty years. And although my youngest daughter and family are close by...i feel the loss every year x
