Have enjoyed reading your Christmas traditions and stealing a few ideas. I'm keen to get some for New Year's Day. I have always hated this day so much. I find it depressing and claustrophobic. I hate that everything is closed, especially where I live in the countryside. This year I'll be newly separated with two very young children (11 months and 3 year. old). I am anticipating much soul searching and introspection around Christmas (I do it every year!) but am determined to be as jolly as I can. Like I say I have ideas for the other days that are fun but inexpensive and realistic with 2 little ones but New Year's Day I come unstuck. I feel like I'll have used all my best ideas already and can't rely on anything to be bloody well open around here.
What do you all do, if anything?
