So it looks like I will be spending xmas day alone with the kids, family cant make it out to visit, friends are all busy, and me and H seperated 7 months ago. He is going to take DS1 out on xmas eve and bring him back at bedtime, and then the three of us will be on our own.
DS1 is 3.5 years old and very excited about all the presents he will get (lots!) I dont think he will really miss a proper xmas dinner, because he is a bit young to remember that is what you are supposed to do. Cooking it is the last thing I want to do anyway as DS2 is only 6 weeks old and keeps my hands full.
So whats a good plan for the day? So far I can envisage the present opening, and then not much else - everything is closed on the 25th here so going out to eat is not an option - whats easy to cook/eat but is also a bit different/special (I am vegetarian but DS isnt) I am also at a loss for ideas to entertain us, we have spent so much time in the house together recently, because going out in late pregnancy/early newborn stage was so difficult - I have run out of ideas. The weather is quite nice here though (rainy season just ending) so going out for a walk/to the park is an option, but I am struggling to think of how to make it a "special" activity.
Ideas please!
