Are you doing EXACTLY what you want at Christmas?

The same as roses and Lona - I wouldn't change a thing! Who knows what next year will be like!

We have waited to see what suits our various children and fitted in. So, we have some on Christmases and Boxing Day. Luckily, they want to see each other, and us, so they will all be here on Tuesday (Lester Boxing Day) as well!!

I could easily be on my knees by the time the last ones go but who cares! grin

For the first time for many years, my nearest and dearest are coming to me. We are all looking forward to it so much and it may well be the last time we can do it, so I fully intend to enjoy every single minute!

I should have added, we have no old relatives at all (nice or otherwise).

For the first time ever - NOTHING - brilliant and so liberating in a way - hurrah.

Not a thing!
We are seeing all our DC and DGC for meals on different days, and including Christmas Day.All at our home, which is what we prefer.We will then have time to go out, see friends, and enjoy walks.Looking forward to it already.

Now, be honest! The Bodach and I are going to Gran Canaria, as neither of us are fans of Christmas.
Up until seven years ago when the Lord called them home, we had to host his mother and two old aunties, and I didn't enjoy it at all, and I hear lots of people complaining that they've " got to" go to relatives, or have relatives come to them, that they have to travel a distance ( no drink!) , that granny/ grandad need to stay the night to see the wee ones opening their presents, and other moans and grumbles.
Grandparents can take umbrage too if the family go to the inlaws.
What wee ( or big) thing would you change about your Christmas?
