I am just utterly knackered. Weeks and weeks of rushing around, organising gifts, wrapping gifts, buying endless food. Today we have hosted people for a buffet and spent all day cleaning the house, preparing food, cleaning up after them and by that time it was bedtime. There’s been no opportunity to just chill.
Tomorrow we are hosting family for lunch and it will be much the same.
I like to see people at Christmas and I don’t mind buying and doing the food but it just leaves no time for lounging about or taking the day as it comes, popping out for a walk if you fancy it or whatever.
I kind of feel that Christmas will always be a bit like this while the kids are young because we will of course always do dinners and gifts for them. I would just love some time alone at home to relax and enjoy it how I want to.
Oh and I can’t even blame Dh for not helping because he’s been rushed off his feet too and will be doing the majority of the cooking tomorrow. Gah!
