Only Children and Christmas

How do you find the holiday season and particularly Christmas Day with ‘only’ one child? I have one tiny perfect sleep stealing son who will be four months this Christmas. For various reasons I think he will be our only child.

My SIL is pregnant with her second child and my child will have at least 2 cousins but they live abroad in Europe and I’m not sure how often we will be able to spend Christmas with them.

Christmas is magical whether you have siblings or not, right?

I'm an only child too - I loved Christmas! I got to decorate the tree how I wanted and just enjoyed being with my parents. Changed slightly during the teenage years (!) but that's more to do with being a stroppy hormonal mess than having no siblings! Grin x
