Xmas not the same abroad.I miss the UK today...

sympathy, although it's real christmas weather here today - i.e raw, dim, dank, sodden and foggy.

i've only been abroad once for Christmas, and it was all very well having grilled langoustines on the beach, but where was the tin of Roses eh?

[waves ivy wreath in your direction]

are you doing some italian things for Christmas?

yes and most of the year I love pasta but xmas day for me is about paxo stuffing DP's Italian family however dont agree
Feel guilty not being excited as is ds's first xmas so should be magical blah blah but want to be at home with my mum and her over-cooked veg, crappy telly, rest of family and nothing al dente in sight! Never been away from parents at xmas,am 34 and I miss them-how pathetic do I sound!!! Am normally v independent and mature I promise...
