I know Christmas is a way off yet, but I like many others will be struggling with the cost of living, so I want to be prepared as possible in the next few months.
It is just me and my 10-year-old at home, we usually spend Christmas with either my parents when they visit or my younger brother and his partner. This year my parents can't visit, and my younger brother and his partner are working so we will be on our own for the first time. I don't drive and I have a disability so looking for ideas on things we can do together at home, as my brother will be taking DS out for a few activities with friends. I've got the usual ideas like Christmas movies and hot chocolate and baking, but I am hoping for some more ideas preferably cheap or free. Also, any traditions people have? We don't really have any apart from new pjs on Christmas eve. I want to make this year really special as it's been a weird couple of years.
As much as DS loves Christmas, he likes to remind me Santa isn't real, so maybe I need to look at more grown-up activities, but I have no idea where to start.
