I am Mrs Xmas!! I love xmas ever since I was a kid and the magic has never left me! Everyone laughs at my love of xmas like putting the tree up early and having the house like santa's grotto. So come January through to late August I feel like my sparkle has gone I really do not like long light days.. I love dark evenings, twinkling of lights and just the general feeling of the cosiness of it all. I love everything about the build up of xmas it makes me so happy. I have lots of fairy lights going on around the house so I have some sparkle! I think I have the reverse of winter SAD!! with the thoughts of lighter evenings coming in, every week now the stretch in the evenings is getting that bit longer and I find it depressing. I perk up in June when the longest day passes and we are on the countdown to darker evenings! Seeing Easter eggs in the shops yesterday I was just feeling bluuggh! I bought cheap crackers, cards and loads of wrapping paper this week though so that gave me a bit of a lift!! Am I alone in feeling like this or do I have some Xmas buddys with me on this one?

Thank you kissme x

Mrsmadevans · 25/01/2018 18:12

Muddling .....I hope you are managing to cope with this overwhelming grief. I just want to give you comfort somehow and to tell you that even though we didn't meet Super Sam or you ,that we still care and remember you .
On our walk we (DH& I) always pass a very small chapel. Yesterday l lit a candle and wrote in their book.
I said 'X Good night, God bless Super Sam X'
I hope you don't mind . Take care and be kind to you .

Oh Mrs thank you, that's lovely of you. It's so hard I miss him so much. Went to choose his headstone today which will take around 16 weeks. In the meantime all he has is a little wooden cross with his name on from the crem which makes me feel so sad.

Mrsmadevans · 26/01/2018 09:16

Muddling I wish there were more I could do.
You must miss him so much.
I think the little wooden cross will be just fine until you get the proper stone done for him don't think about what you cannot do , think about what you can do .
You have a long way to go before you can even think straight.
Be very kind to yourself and your family. Goes without saying really but you need to look after yourself my dear. Anything you want to talk about then don't hesitate . Am sending Massive Cwtches.

Toffeewoman · 26/01/2018 20:53

Muddling I am a lurker on the Christmas thread. I always read your threads as i have two daughters abit older than yours so have pinched some of your ideas. had to google what a sprocket was.
I am so sorry to read about your Super Sam really was shocked.
I am in London at week end and would love to light a candle for him.
Thinking of you and your family. x

MuddlingThroughLife · 27/01/2018 09:37

Thank you toffee. Lighting a candle for Super Sam would be very kind of you x

BBTHREE76 · 27/01/2018 16:45

Muddling - I am so so sorry to hear your sad news about Super Sam. As Toffee woman said, I feel like I know you as my DD is similar age to your eldest so I always look at your gifts and posts (and did buy DD a sprocket) here and on another Xmas site. I will be thinking of all you. Take care and be kind to yourself xxx

73kitty, I won one of the eBay teapots! Xmas Grin

Muddling, I hope you and your family have had a peaceful weekend. Flowers

73kittycat73 · 05/02/2018 13:53

73kitty, I won one of the eBay teapots!

Yay! Xmas Grin Has it turned up yet? I got my Christmas butter dish and coasters through. Very pleased with them.

NoWordForFluffy · 05/02/2018 18:36

Yes. It's ace! If a touch smaller than our current pot. It fits onto the tealight stand though, so that's helpful, as it'll stay warm longer.

I like the sound of a butter dish! #easilyled

73kittycat73 · 06/02/2018 12:48

Sounds really nice. Xmas Smile I will start looking for one again when I get paid on Friday. Xmas Grin Here's a link to the butter dish:
