Now I know this is a very minor thing but I'm just going to have a little moan so please indulge me.
We've lived away since the DC were born 6 years ago and since that time have spent every Christmas in the UK with one set of inlaws or another.
It gets to this point in the year again and i realise we still have never had Christmas just us. We have zero traditions, unless you count finding stuff in the bottom of a suitcase!
I am hugely grateful for being put up by family and cooked for on Christmas Day and I hope we show our appreciation properly but isn't this just the downside of expat life?
We feel too guilty to refuse the invitation as we have elderly parents and the guilt fest laid on by other family and friends.
Time to pull up my reindeer themed big girl pants and get on with it I suppose.
Anyone else feel the same? Christmas puns welcome.
