No mojo

I just can't get into Xmas, brought the tree and decorations down from the loft, now they are sitting in the spare room. It will just be me and other half on the day, I like it like that, no hassle. Anyone else the same? Or am I the only gringe on here.

Each to their own and do whatever is best for you. Our tree is outside having been trimmed and will be indoors within the hour. Then granddaughter will come around and decorate it after doing her other Nan's tree too. Outside lights are rivalling Bristol landing approach lights. On Christmas Day we have nine for lunch and the grandkids are cooking lunch. Prior to that my grandson and I take the dogs out to a field with a shelter and will take our Leicestershire breakfast with us for a picnic. Presents get opened after the Kings Speech, or when I wake up after lunch!

Not by choice but this year we will be by ourselves.
Have been "there" many times before but did last year enjoy camping with friends, issues with mover tie us from re running that this Christmas.
Family live far away, one on another continent, so no opportunity there. Encouraging children and grandchildren to "go for life's opportunities", has that way of biting you back.

Well practiced in coping alone so don't foresee it being too challenging, sure to treasure some lengthy Teams etc videoing. and will cook us a good meal, and open a couple of nice reds.

Christmas tree up, lights up, decorations up and we are not even here for Christmas day. C is cooking family dinner for 10 at her son's then it's back home for peace and quiet.

The odd thing is I've stopped drinking so it will be a sober Christmas, not like the old days, how did I survive.

The daughter is off to Thailand for Christmas, and her two sons a daughter plus their 3 grandchildren, will be at their partners families. So we are meeting up with them beforehand to exchange presents.

We will be going to our sons with his 3 children plus grandchildren. Totalling 15, plus dogs, on the day.

I have booked for a family pub lunch on the 25th Jan for 27. So the whole family can get together. Not looking forward to that bill.
