Hello there everyone. Hope your are feeling OK and got yourselves sorted for the holiday. Not been on here for a few days as am having yet another bad spell , but slowly, slowly, catchee monkey , I think everything is just about in hand for the big day. It really is unbelievable the amount of work, shopping and planning that goes into just one day. Used to love it when the kids were young, and even up to a few years ago, but chronic ill health changes everything unfortunately. However, I am sure we will have an enjoyable day and with being on our own there will be no one else to please .Love to hear from anyone who has a spare minute and sending best wishes to you all. Let's hope things will be a lot more positive in the new year.! Take care and stay safe. xx

Good Afternoon I have a few minutes
I hope you are well
I will be spending Christmas on my own as my little Princess of a Mum is unable to travel due to risks of Covid
I feel alone but I said I would remain in England as I have resit for January
I am lonely but it would seem I have chosen loneliness over people who take advantage or who are insincere
I may become a recluse because I sometimes get overwhelmed by the judgments or criticism of others
I will have a simple Christmas as Mum is not here to share it with me
I would ideally like to have a family bit a 51 it is near impossible to find someone who can be genuine and sincere
I know what you mean! Christmas used to be a grand production but it’s getting simpler every year! Smaller tree less people and a whole lot less baking etc👍👍👍🤪
Sat here in the dark making lists.
Happy to have popped on when you have, ShelWhitt... But not pleased to read you're having a bad spell.
I hope you feel better soon; don't feel compelled to do anything you don't feel like doing! 2020 has been stressful for so many...
Our Christmas tree is still languishing in a corner, undressed; our decorations are still in their trunk.
Christmas is a bit of a non-starter for us this year.
I'm working to strict deadlines and am wishing I hadn't taken work on in the run-up to Christmas this year.
My daughter is working to a deadline, too, so hasn't got around to doing anything Christmassy at all.
Ordinarily, I take great pleasure in setting up festive displays from the front door through to the kitchen and the lounge, and tending to the tree along with my girl.
It's just that kind of year.
We've suffered a bereavement, too: my aunt passed away in late October (sepsis+Covid), so we're not feeling terribly festive.
We'll give it a good stab closer to the time, no doubt, but I tend to enjoy the run-up to Christmas rather more than I do the actual day (I get all sad and wilty on the day knowing it's all going to come to an end quite soon!)
Take care of yourself! These are stressful times and for those whose health is compromised, they are that bit worse.
Remember: self-care above all else! xXx
Hi ShelWhitt, sorry things haven't been so great for you recently but pleased you are making a recovery and that you are planning to have a Christmas celebration.I must admit that I'm a bit lukewarm about Christmas every year, as, like you, the best ones are past when the children were small and there was a little magic in the air.
I was out and about today shopping in a small town nearby and there was an air of everyone trying to do their best but without an awful lot of joy I think. But it did make me reflect that for the children it's an exciting time anyway and I can only applaud the many parents who are trying their hardest to make it a lovely event for all of them.
Will be spending Christmas alone as covid put a stop to my daughter being able to come spend it with me Plus a sad Christmas as my sweet mother passed away on the 9th so won't be much cebrating
But I would like to wish all a very Merry Christmas
