sending getting throu the day wishes for all of you, I hope that the day is bearable and the wine is plentyful and that all kids go to sleep sometime soonish!
My three are in bed but not yet asleep, we are doing Christmas in lanzarote this year, our first Christmas without Steve.

Thinking of you too OJ.

Lanzarote sounds lovely

and to you OJ - all the best.

its the children that keep us smiling huh?
Happy Christmas all, not always the easiest day at the best of times, but we are lucky to have those little devils angels aren't we?

OJ, large lurker...so apologies, but wanted to add my wishes...hope the sun rises with a glow tomorrow morning on Christmas morning, and washes all four of you with love and warmth. To all of you, I raise a glass. To Christmas...to what it means to all of us.

thankyou all, elliot has writen a letter to Santa to ask if he can have his Dad back for Christmas day as it won't be the same without him, how I wished we could give him what he wants.
We will be going to the beach where we took Steves ashes and having a picnic with trifle and I have half a bottle of southern comfort that Steve didn't get to drink, we will pour it into the sand for him.
The kids have Christmas cards they want to take to Steves beach, I think it will help them.

Wishing you all the happiest Christmas you can have
