Name 1 difference between your Christmas this year to last year?

[OneUmberJoker]

I have a new tree

We have a beautiful 10 month old baby girl ❤️

No crackers! Waste of money, I’ve bought each person a small table gift instead!

New home and newborn baby! After a high risk pregnancy and a traumatic C-section I’m totally unorganised and dreading doing some last minute shopping when I can finally drive again. Shopping online has been hard work when I enjoy browsing in person.

My lovely Mum won’t be with us, it’ll be our first Christmas without her.

I am now a widow

So sorry for those who are also without a loved one this year 😥

We will have an almost 4 month old son 🩵

Lost my partner

A 9 month old beautiful boy (so also being able to drink!)

Sorry for those who have lost people this year, I have been there before a few years ago ❤️

Me too

Hope you are healing well!
I suppose it’s one way of avoiding cooking Christmas dinner 🙈😊

For years I have bought mince pies, cheeses and fancy flavoured creams only to throw them out in mid January. I have not ordered any this year.

New great nephew - actually also a new great niece, but we won’t see her until January.

Not going away

I have one less stocking to fill 😢 but one more tree present to buy!
adult dd moved out this year and has got engaged so for the first ever time, will not be here on Christmas morning. It hit me yesterday when I realised I now have no one to watch the romcom Christmas movies with on Christmas Eve. Time for new traditions to be made

Same 💔

I will be in the UK

The state of the economy means I’m stressed about spending money at what is normally a bit of a blow out time of year. Have cancelled a few meals out with friends and family. Redundancy is an ever present fear for DH and reemployment options in his 50s not looking good in his industry. Things seem to be going downhill quite rapidly.

Still we haven’t lost anyone and everyone’s healthy. Strength to all those who have lost someone or is struggling.

We aren't hosting this year, so no cooking. Takeaway with cheesy Hallmark movies, here I comeeeee!

I have breast cancer this year. We are being positive though, but I’ve noticed that my adult children ( bless them) have definitely made an effort since we told them (2 weeks ago) to make sure it’s a good one

Yes thank you (despite the hot flushes and insomnia ) , I’m three weeks post op so managed to dodge it, having a quite one alone on Xmas day and letting the family do the big Boxing Day bash, instead of me this year. Hope you are all healed too 😊

Yep feeling surprisingly ok just so tired! Merry Christmas xxx

DS will be with us, he was in Germany last year. Christmas Eve will be at DD home, really looking forward to that.

I won’t have my lovely mum. But I will have a beautiful new granddaughter. Circle of life.
