I love Christmas... really, I do. This year thought my life has been turned upside down - found out about DH's affair and kicked him out at the start of September, since then I've had a promotion, moved house, spent most weekends buying and building new furtniture, work has been absolutely crazy etc etc
I am normally starting to get excited for Christmas by the start of November, unsurprisingly I wasn't feeling it then - but I made myself start the shopping, and that's going well, now I'm getting worried that I'm not going to be able to enjoy it.
The last week I've watched a few Christmas films with the DC - but they just end up making me feel sad that I will be alone for the first time.
My family are ace and have already booked me to stay overnight at theirs after christmas lunch so I am not alone after the DC go to bed
But damnit I don't want my prick of a soon-to-be-EXH ruin this time of year for me.... does anyone have any experience or ideas on how I can start feeling festive?!
I've planned to buy a real tree for the first time since the DC were born - and started buying decorations, I'm just not feeling it still
