Good Morning Sunday 25th December 2022 Christmas Day

Happy Christmas from Bristol. We have been promised a dry, mild day.
I hope everyone has a lovely day, not overshadowed by discord , illness or unhappiness. ❤️
Your dinner sounds delicious, Mick, they are vegetarian here, so although the meal will be good, it doesn’t compare with a lump of meat!
Chat to DS in ind on his way to a small job in Hà Nội, then Church service at 10. DSiL’s family will all be coming for lunch - I’ll be the only representative of DD’s family. Although very fond of them, I feel rather overwhelmed.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Mick, and a very happy Christmas to you too!
Another wet start here in Wiltshire, hoping it brightens up later.
Christmas wishes to you all 🎄🎅🏼🥂

Merry Christmas🎄Mick & everyone.

Good Morning Mick and everyone from Hull.

Happy Christmas 🎄

I need to get up soon and put a gammon in the oven for when the family arrive this morning. But today is a little more chilled food wise as we had our Christmas dinner yesterday and it was enjoyed by all so just a little buffet this afternoon.

Wishing you a lovely special day. 🌻🎄

Good morning, and Merry Christmas!

Had the dogs out for a quick, if soggy, pee, now consuming strong coffee. Me, not the dogs.

Less sleep than I'd hoped for last night, although not too bad.

I found myself curiously excited. This is my first Christmas in the small block of supported living flats that I moved to in January this year. It has felt very odd not to be doing all the preparation for a Christmas meal in my individual home for the first time in about 40 years. I'm hoping that lunch won't feel too "let's be kind to the old folk" - but even if it does, it will have been kindly meant.

I've always loved this early morning stillness on Christmas Day - Christmas has dawned but the noise and bustle hasn't got up yet.

Merry Christmas, everyone! 🌟

Susan and her family are on my mind such a lot so hoping for some better news 🙏

Here’s Matt.

Good morning and Happy Christmas everyone from south Manchester. It’s still dark (natch) but seems mild. Lights are on in some houses - children will be up and opening their Christmas parcels.

Our daughter and son in law are hosting today so we are picking my stepfather up about 1pm and driving over with our contributions. I’m roasting a turkey crown, a rib of beef and making the stuffing. The Yorkshire Duo are down in Oxford for the festivities.

Thoughts are with any who are struggling. It’s not a day that suits everybody. x

Good morning and Merry Christmas everyone from West Berkshire. Wishing you all a peaceful day.
Special thoughts to those with heartbreak and pain in their lives.

Happy christmas, good morning s somerset looks to be set fair for the day

I do like the role reversal, have not had to do a thing and am leaving at first light for DDs for the day, where I will be having a vegan lunch and a jolly time. Love my own bed so will be coming back home

The beautiful service of togetherness at westminster last night was a truly lovely start to christmas. I took my hankie out as the ukrainian children were singing

Morning all from West Oxfordshire and Happy Christmas. It feels mild today. Elder son and family should arrive this morning from Kew. Daughter and younger son are in bed. I remembered to type up a time plan for lunch so will print it off when I get up. I pray today can be both peaceful and joyful.🎄

Good morning all from rainy Glasgow.

I’m waiting to hear the sound of excited children, they’re still sleeping.

We will travel over to DS’s later to have Christmas dinner with them and possibly stay over.

Happy Christmas everyone, may you find peace today.

Merry ChristmasMick and everyone from the Scottish Borders. Mild thankfully.
I love Matt today Urms
I'm hosting lunch for DH family including DMiL who's 97.
It will be half meat and half vegan.
DS and family will call round after lunch to amuse us.
I still have lots to do so must get out of bed.
Hope your day goes well and safely.

Merry ChristmasMick and everyone else.
Just had FaceTime with two little DGS who wanted to check Santa had remembered to leave their gifts here. They have had their stockings and will be here soon. They only live 5 minutes drive away.
Eldest DGS still asleep upstairs as is DD2. Rest of family arriving mid morning.
I can smell the Turkey cooking so I’ll have a cuppa while it is quiet and then on with the day.
Hope you all enjoy the day however you spend it. Love and hugs to all. X

Merry Christmas Mick and Everyone from South Gloucestershire.

We are all meeting at my son's in Wiltshire for lunch.

Hope everyone's day goes well

Good morning from a damp NE where it is 7 degrees.
Did not sleep very well as I have considerable pain in my left shoulder.
DD and SIL will arrive first today to help me prepare food then DS and family will arrive, they have a long drive to get here.
I had hoped Christmas cards would arrive but there was no post. Apart from hand delivered cards I have only received four cards and two of them were all crumpled.
Thoughts are with Susan.

Merry Christmas to you all.

Our corner of Somerset looks dry. No cooking here as our son is hosting. I’m allowed to contribute pudding. The traditional one is already with him, a mountain of meringue is packed and waiting, I just need to remember to gather fruit and other items from the fridge.

Wishing you all the best day it can be.

Good morning, all, from a soggy Torbay!

I don't think we will venture far today unless the weather improves. Thoughts are with those with worries about loved ones, especially Susan56 with her DGS who is so ill.

Safe travels and a lovely day is wished for you all.
🥰 🎄🎅🏼⛄️❄️

Good morning all from East Yorkshire. Still dark here.

Going over to see the family this morning then home for lunch just us two.

Wishing you all a happy Christmas and hope you have a lovely day.

Thinking very much of Susan I do hope our prayers will be answered 💐

Christmas greetings from S Yorks

Susan your dear GS in my thoughts and prayers. I'll keep popping in to see if there is news..

There's going to be a lovely little Quaker meeting in someone's house it being a Sunday. I shall be very surprised if mince pies do not feature afterwards.

I'll have a WhatsApp later with family (seeing them at New year) and an unconventional meal - a favourite, undyed smoked haddock but not forgetting the roast parsnips....

have a lovely time with family gransnetters who have that in your day: MIck" hope your crown crisps up nicely and *Ailidh its an enjoyable meal.

Hello everyone

Try again: Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Merry Christmas from a dark, damp but mild Colchester. DH is snoring beside me as he had one too many beers yesterday. I was woken by a text from DD2 asking if we had batteries.
We are going there later once DH and DS surface.
Love and hugs to all 🦩 x

Merry Christmas to you all.
Hope your day is peaceful and happy.
