Starting to get cabin fever now, but staying entirely nuclear this year.

We haven't seen any friends or family either. Relaxing and lovely. You can see friends and family anytime.

Mine too but at least we are the only ones witnessing it Never. No tutting relatives. No unwanted overnight guests either.

We had a fairly brief visit to inlaws - just a couple of hours - and adult DCs returned home (and have now left again) which I suppose counts, but this has been the first time in 10 years we haven't had someone extra staying - most of my family are in a different country. And I have to say it's been amazing - the most relaxed Christmas ever.

We did a very very quiet toned down Christmas this year. It was fucking superb. Usually Christmas day is 18+ people, this year no day had more than 4 people and it was soooooooo relaxing.

YANBU you are being sensible!

What am I saying - in fact none of my family lives in the UK. So when they visit, it's a big deal. And much as I love them, them not visiting has been the best present ever :o.
