I just love it, the preparation, wrapping presents, the joy on my family’s faces when they open an unexpected gift, dinner, the bad jokes in the crackers…the mess after…it’s all so wondrous

We will be on our own at Christmas, we are not bothered about Christmas now, its just another day here. Christmas now is really for the kids.

It is a year today that our daughter received her final chemotherapy session. She was so weak and tired as she waited for weeks for the results. Finally she received the call from her Consultant to inform her there was no longer any sign of the cancer. The relief was immense.
This year Christmas is going to be something special.

Kidding apart, what was that gaming thing that kids had on a gameboy which emulated looking after a pet cat or dog or something?
I like Christmas always have always will however I do feel people feel pressure to “keep up” so to speak and that leads to Christmas becoming a burden not a joy.
They have changed over the years and it is different but ultimately “ITS CHRISTMAS” a time to relax enjoy and love yourself and those you care for and care for you.

@carol You have had a hard year and for some reason known only to the makers of our hearts when we have had a bad year we sometimes think “b&gger” Christmas maybe and not trying to change your view or opinion but maybe its time to accept what we have and enjoy the day for a nice day.
@Jazzi I too will be alone on the day this year not even the dog as she passed earlier this year; going to a family "takeaway2 feast at my brother Christmas eve and then family breakfast out on Boxing day but intend to do what I want to do this Christmas day not sure what that will be but def eating and watching telly.
@Minx I am planning a Caribbean cruise next Christmas going the opposite of you I am going hot not cold. LOL

I love Christmas, it’s magical. I’d still put up my decorations and light my candles, cook a nice meal, eat cheese and chocolate and watch Christmas telly if I was on my own. I do the full thing, the works, and love every second of it
But I do understand that some Christmas’s are tough. If you’re lonely or living with bad times or have a lost a loved one and there’s an empty chair.I’ve been there.

Thanks @Kazz and @PixieKnuckles
Just had a look on Google play, and you can still get these sort of things up and running. In fact, there’s a thread related seasonal one, just in case you get the urge:
That sounds heavenly Kazz. I have sunshine all the time so I’m looking forward to the cold.
