After this weekend, we start the build up to Christmas, advertisements of big happy families sitting round a table groaning with food, party games and frolicking in the snow.
All these group get togethers, friends talking about visiting children and grandchildren.
After years of big present giving, I have reduced right down this year as no one needed any more stuff or anything, we see each other for a meal if we can, grown up grandchildren, son and Dil a gift but not huge ones as they says they have everything they want? It takes the pressure off.
Hopefully I will be with my family for the day but after this year won't be wanting to drive that far and already thinking I won't drive in icy conditions.
