DD can come home from uni (although I must admit, this was never in doubt for us as we wouldn’t have left her there anyway) and we are picking her up on the 6/7th December. DS and his fiancée are coming to stay Christmas Eve and we take them back on the 27th and we will celebrate together which is basically all we would have done on other years. DS who lives overseas will FaceTime us all on Christmas Day too.

I’ve completed most of my shopping online with one or two trips to my small town nearby for the stocking fillers and a few other gifts. I’m picking up the Christmas groceries a bit at a time when I do my usual grocery shopping. I missed out and was too late to book a grocery delivery Christmas week so I’m going to have to pop out for the fresh food which I’m not looking forward to. I just hope I can find a quiet time to go

I am missing having no theatre trips booked at Christmas or a meal out but as long as we are all safe and well and I can see the children at Christmas I’m not worried about anything else.

Well, I wasn't but went for a walk along our nearest beach 30 mins away, the car park was packed and there was an enterprising couple selling real Christmas trees. They were really good shapes, couldn't resist Finished off with take away tea and chips on said beach, so feeling a bit happier (it was beautifully sunny which always helps)
Hope your Christmas goes well
