Older teens and changes to Christmas

[Rosbeet]

Anyone else mourning the old days of Christmas?

Put a Christmas film on to watch but they're all dispersed to talk to friends and do their own thing.

I think they will engage with some fun things tomorrow but it's just so different now to when they were little.

It's so difficult to feel the magic that was about years ago.

Ive adapted and I enjoy it. Mine are 26 and 18 and all got involved in making dinner. We opened presents together and they were both excited to do so and they'd both brought brilliant gifts for everyone

Played a game after dinner and watched tv and chatted then my eldest went home and the 18 year old has now gone upstairs to play Xbox with mates

So it's different to when they were little of course but you gotta move with the times and embrace it I suppose. It's still really good
