We are going on holiday, long haul to the sun. And will be away for both Xmas and new year. I’m really excited about it.
I am going to have a mock Xmas , on the Sunday before Xmas , at home, doing a turkey and all the trimmings, scrambled eggs, croissants for brekkie with some champagne and salmon, got Xmas crackers as well, and will put the Xmas table cloth out and Xmas napkins, and although we said no pressies, got some little openers for my husband and daughter, just doing it all for a little fun.
The resort has a major Xmas gala dinner and does Xmas v well from what I can see, from decorating the resort on. But we need to eat brekkie and dinner at home every day before we go , so why not do a mock Xmas the Sunday before. As the next day , Monday, is packing then off we go.
im not doing a tree this year, but will put the garlands over the fireplaces as a nod to it, they have fairy lights and Xmas ornaments on, so will be enough to bring a little festive cheer to the house, but not so much we get back and need to spend ages taking it all down.
