Christmas by yourself

[crochetmonkey74]

Is anyone doing this? If you are, what are your plans?

painting the stairs and cleaning a polycarbonate roof is amongst my plans.

my child is at his dads for christmas eve, christmas day, boxing day. My plans are:
Christmas eve - spend day "nesting", doing the household jobs I dont normally have time for, make sure the house is beautifully clean and decorated (it already is but basically make sure there's noting left to do) and making my own bedroom and living room feel as close to a spa-like sanctuary as possible leading to
Christmas Day - super luxurious day. Breakfast of scrambled eggs, salmon and champagne. Do a face mask, properly soak and pedicure my feet. Basically all the self care stuff I would never ever normally get the chance to do. Sit around all day and not feel guilty. Call family, speak to my son (most important). Possibly do some baking if I feel like it on the day
Boxing day: relaxing start, peruse the sales in the shops possibly buy a few extra presents if I see anything

Also planning to go to church. Either midnight mass or Christmas day service or both.

Yes me. DP is at his mum's as she had a stroke and can't travel to be with us this year. I can't travel to go there, so I think this is the right thing to do.

I will be relaxing, catching up with some home admin and tidying, digging out some knitting I need to finish, just generally unwinding. Last few months has been stressful.

These days all sound very relaxing and calm and content
