Its Over Thank God - Who else feels like this

Our elves cost us next to nothing. They even have pyjamas and dressing gowns, purchased from the Pound shops. No great expense here.

My DGD is pretty sharp, but she loves the fun of it all, even if a tad suspicious.

Anato that’s terrible. I feel so sad for you.

I find them daft.

GC like them, naturally we purchased, I made little pyjamas. Silly fun.

Well we've had a lovely Christmas. On our own on the day, but out to lunch with daughter, SIL, + two grown-up granddaughters + partners and, last but certainly not least grandson aged 17. A really wonderful day with no cooking or clearing up for anyone. Lots of presents given and received, a good time had by all. Really perked us up.

Christmas is great for kids, but for adults, it’s a lot of pressure to make everything “perfect.”

I’m relieved! Love getting together but the chaos won’t be missed until next year

Only if you choose to see it that way. I have never felt any desire to make Christmas 'perfect', whatever that might mean.

Monday is Epiphany -- and so it blessedly ends.

I have a family birthday celebration tomorrow and after that the festivities are over for me. It's back to home made soup and cutting down on chocolate.

Thank goodness it’s done and dusted, decks all down, tree packed away and I can wash it out of my hair , a time of year I really don't like much at all
Phew it’s done it’s gone

That's how I feel too. Everything's down and put away and we can get back to some kind of normality now.

I'm always pleased to see the back of it, though I appreciate people with faith enjoy the celebrations.

One doesn’t need faith to enjoy what started as a pagan rave up to brighten midwinter.

I've not got faith in anything at all.

That's why I'm such a miserable old biddy.

No you’re not Miss A, I love your comments, they always stand out💕

Ah, thanks.
I am turning into a horrible old moaner, though.

I'm quite ashamed at myself sometimes

A good rave up would probably sort me out (or kill me!)
