there is so much negativity on the boards about bad presents, lazy partners, difficult family etc.
so to balance that, lets here what you got and loved, what your favourite moments were, fun and funny things.
Christmas eve, we rewatched the muppets Christmas Carol, that's been our tradition for years. then we spend lunchtime to four ish with the in laws, having nibbles, prosecco, and the sister in laws and their families, and neices and nephews all come over for presents and socialising. hit a blinder with smallest nephew, as one of the presents we got him, SIL said they'd been looking at those and thinking about getting him one (it's a sort of astronaut shaped projector nightlight thing)
there were a lot of delicious nibbles (reduced from waitrose christmas eve. nice one) and everyone had a lovely time.
heading over to my side of the family, dinner was delicious, then we had presents. my mum and stepdad VERY kindly got me a new laptop, as mine has died a death in the last few weeks. and I am very lucky to have a husband who is incredibly thoughtful in his gift giving, and got some lovely things.
mostly things your average mumsnetter wouldn't be into, but a Jurassic Park Christmas jumper, Allosaurus figure for my JP figures collection, and a Good Omens canvas bag are all lovely and thoughtful.
we've spent boxing day relaxing all together, and eating picky bits, and it's been wonderful.
so. for all the posts about christmas being ruined, please share what made you feel cosy, happy and loved.
