Used to love Christmas but with all the children scattered and married the lustre has gone from my world. Have struggled this year to make the cards. Still like the specials but the rest...yuck! Gifts are only bought for the little ones, money for the older G Children as their tastes change so much I can't keep up with them. Christmas gifts are much smaller than for their Birthdays then we do splash out more. With such a large family we would be skint half the year. Will be finishing the cake this week, that may cheer me up.
I know we will have fun once the little ones get here but it will spread over the period. In one way its better as as we get older they tire us out.
Maybe as it gets nearer we will all get into the festive spirit. maybe we should start singing a few Carols and have a glass of cheer, make mine a white wine whoever has the corkscrew
