Going out for lunch instead of cooking it for the 15th year in a row!

DemonsandMosquitoes · 05/12/2025 21:19

IL’s have passed or are now in care and the rest of us are going to the pub on Christmas Day!! And eating lunch late afternoon!!! Can’t wait.

@Carrie76

First Christmas without my dad too

MrsSPenguins · 05/12/2025 21:49

Also a new tree but otherwise very similar day to last year, the 4 of us in our cottage with the cat and our chickens.

I’m on Mounjaro. I am hoping I’ll be more sensible with food and drink because it’s gotten to the stage that I’m embarrassed about who I’ve turned into

Our first Christmas as a family of 4 🥰

This does sound quite like you've kidnapped someone 😂

ravenclaworslytherin · 06/12/2025 08:48

My husband isn't working so we will be together as a family this year

BiddyPopthe2nd · 06/12/2025 09:03

I am going back home as DD cannot walk so had to leave uni in the next country over (also abroad) and neither she nor DH can come to me (as we had originally planned) as a result.

Gardenalia · 06/12/2025 09:07

I have a puppy ❤️. I’m ready (all presents and cards already done). I’m not bothering to see anyone except my DC and their partners.

tougholdbirdy · 06/12/2025 09:11

It will be my first Christmas without my beloved mum. 😢😢😢

Andsoitbeganagain · 06/12/2025 09:33

I'm leaving my husband.

JoannaTheYodelingCowgirl · 06/12/2025 22:16

My youngest is now homeschooled Sad(not ideal...lots of ongoing behavioural issues, she was getting into fights, suspended several times, a lot of her classmates were bad influences on her and she was headed for permanent expulsion, but I really didnt want her going to a pru)

NoCheesesForUsMeeces · 06/12/2025 22:20

Last year LO had only been with us a month or so and was overwhelmed, our decs were up by now and I was very very organised.

This year LO is more settled and is coping a lot better, we’re having work done on our house meaning our decs can’t go up for maybe another week and I’m having a slight panic about how much I have left to do.

cheapskatemum · 06/12/2025 22:37

I’ve got Christmas Day off work! And Christmas Eve! So happy 😀

One sad thing - mum is no longer here and she loved Christmas and family. However one good thing- my son who hasn't been in touch for three years, got in touch with us and will be with us at Christmas. He's been unwell and reached out and I'm glad he did.

So glad for you that your son will be with you.

The main difference for us is that our newborn son is with us. He will be ten weeks old at Christmas.

Congratulations. It will be a magical time with a baby.

DHs best mate is coming.

He didn't last year.

Christmas is better with him.

I feel like there’s a story here @RedToothBrush

My husband will have a year of cancer treatment complete.

CombatBarbie · 06/12/2025 23:09

I was laying on a sunlounger in 28 degrees, drinking fabulous coxktails.

tartyflette · 06/12/2025 23:09

We will be in Spain! Until January 26!

Kickinthenostalgia · 06/12/2025 23:11

Well this time last year my mum had done her back completely in. It’s not fully resolved but she’s defo better than last year.
