Missing adult DC on Christmas day - tell me to get a grip

Today is the first year both adult DC haven’t been with us for Christmas and have spent it with their in-laws. They will be coming to us for the New Year.

I would never say anything to them as that’s completely unfair - it’s only right that they take it in turns with their partners as to where they spend the day. But even though they’ll be here next year I just felt so sad all day yesterday!

DH and I did lots of things we enjoy but we both agreed we just missed them so much, it wasn’t the same and the thought of doing it every other year made us feel so blue. Do you just get used to it? Someone tell me to pull myself together!

I had Christmas without my daughter for the first time in 27 years as she was with her new husband and in-laws. I think she was feeling it too, she FaceTimed three times during the day. It’s the new normal but it was hard. I feel your pain.
