Shoutout to my nice, boring Christmas!

[CountessOfNowhere]

Just that, really. Got all my visiting done over the weekend so yesterday was me, DD and DP. DD (19 & ASD) gave herself exactly the right amount of time to herself in her room that her time with us was lovely. We ate and drank lots but not to gluttony/drunkenness. We agreed on the tv we watched and nobody argued. I do sometimes put myself under a lot of pressure to do the "perfect" Christmas but I realised yesterday that average is actually a wonderful thing!

To be clear: I think my Christmas was fab because I didn't pressure myself to have a perfect one this year!

It sounds a lovely day.
I spent it on my own. I went shopping after work on Christmas eve, got everything I need, much of it reduced. I cooked myself a full roast dinner which is something I hardly ever do. I had messages from people I care about but didn't speak to anyone all day. I had a lovely peaceful time.
I'm visiting friends today to watch football on TV and we're having Chinese takeaway.
Ba k to work tomorrow and I'm going away on a city break on Friday.
It's been great.

Glad you had a good one too!

Thank you

sounds lovely. We visited grandparents at the weekend so it was just me and my son, 14 and ASD. Lazy start, did the phone calls/texts to family. He played on the PS4 and I snoozed. He helped me make dinner - lasagne and apple crumble, then we sang a long to the Greatest Showman. Perfect

I love reading these. Your Christmases all sound lovely

Lazy start...dd for a fabulous lunch with all the family ( 12 of us ) ..home for about 8 ...then just chilled till bedtime
