Yet again I am doing Christmas for my family and his. Have got out of Boxing Day this year. Meant to only do lunch but my sister, who always arrives & says 'We're not staying long' has got cross cos I wasn't going to do evening meal, so am now. Then sis, who is doing Boxing Day lunch, said she'd do it early so I can take DD to her aunts later on. So arranged this & told sister who was then put out that I'd be leaving hers early... but it was her idea!!! Husband has to have all Christmas his way, because his big bro put up all the decorations when he was little so he has hijacked Christmas in our house for the past 15 years - I have no say. Then Mum just phoned to say my sister's goddaughter's mother has just brought round a present for my DD from her little boy. I said that I wan't going to buy one back as 1 I'm not starting a tradition of them 'buying' gifts & 2 they only see eachother about twice a year & Mum now says tshe thinks I'm 'a bit mean'. ARRGH! I'm going to have a lie down now so will read any messages of support when i wake up. Of course none of this is helped because of the message I left last week about DD needing hearing aids, out of the blue. Am seeing ENT chap later today. Perhaps once that app is over, I'll find the whole Christmas thing funny - let's hope so!
