To ask if you think we should make a bigger deal at Christmas?

[honeyandporridge]

The threads already have me wondering.

DH often has to work so I think that's partly why it's just never been a thing. Don't decorate bar putting some cards up. DC1 gets one present. (Other DC was a baby last Christmas so didn't bother; might get her something this year.)

That's it.

I like Christmas but on the whole prefer Easter.

But other families seem to make such a fuss and I suppose I wondered if it was really very strange to have a low key day?

sorry, they go up the ladder, not the tree.

And on Christmas Eve me and the lovely young women in my life watch Love Actually while having a wee drink and wrapping the presents. One year the cork shot out of the bottle and hit my daughter and I can recall her shouting 'oh mother of God, Ive been shot' and we all thought she had so we ducked.

I lose all sense of style and judgement! My decorations go up on the first, white Christmas on the background and mulled wine on the go!

I buy those god awful reindeer hats and earrings etc.. If they flash, all the better

Pantomime on Christmas Eve followed by a walk around George square to see the ice rink and hot chocolate

My Ds is 10 now, but i still have him running to look out the window on Christmas Eve because I pretend I can hear santas bells

When Ds goes to bed dh and I have a baileys and watch it's a wonderful life although dh has confessed that now he prefers Arthur Christmas

Oh and on Christmas Eve everyone is made to wear new Christmas Jammie's... I know I am a nutter but I love it!
