Hi all, not really sure why posting, perhaps just to share. Mum died in Feb and this year Xmas won't be the same. We've been doing ok as a family but after today (as work colleagues asking me what my plans are etc) I have had to start thinking about it. I've wanted to have Christmas in my own home for a few years but for the first time I have my own home and this doesn't feel right. Also going round to cook at my dad's won't feel right (as it's still my mum's kitchen to me).
Sadly no young children to distract from things. And mum was an amazing cook and always loved Christmas as a good excuse to eat drink and be merry with family and friends.
Possibly going to in-laws but not sure my dad will want to.
Any experiences to share?
