  • I shall be having whatever I can get on yellow sticker, or a frozen pizza, and that will be my christmas dinner.

    It'll probably be more cheerful than it sounds.

    Going to our daughters and partners for the 2nd Christmas running in there new home.

    It was my turn to cook but as the other in laws are coming they decided it was there house again.

    It was very strange last year, Ive always cooked it for many a long year and last year I missed the shopping for it, the last minute panic and not having something necessary, and Christmas morning was thumb twiddling time.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Just me and mine staying at home - lovely. We have always stayed at home on Christmas Day, and then had other family members over on Boxing Day or gone to them.

    I love staying at home on Christmas Day, no specific routine, just as it comes. :)

    We booked to go out to our fave country pub last year for myself,DH,mum and three kidlets,cost a bomb but was lovely.This year though I'll either be 39 weeks preggers or have a newborn so home it is!
    Mum keeps hinting she'll cook as I'll be tired but the control freak in me is screaming "NOOOO I WANNA COOK!!!"(yes I am mad :p)
    Slightly mad mummy to four kidlets aged 4 months,6,7 and 8 :D:D:D xx
