Merry Christmas everyone.

This is the first Christmas in 7 yrs myself, DH & DS are on our own and its blooming lovely! All presents have been opened, dinner is all prepared and ready to be cooked, turkey is in the oven, Dh is reading a book he got from santa DS is playing one of his new xbox games and I'm sat with my feet up watching last nights midsomer murders....perfect!

Christmas eve was lovely, went to a friends and had a beautiful dinner, Chicken, beef and all the trimmings lots of pudding and wine, we opened gifts there, she bought me a lovely old style cook book so cannot wait till the new year to try some recipes out.

Anyway hope you all have a wonderful day.... xxx

Merry Christmas!

DS2 has kindly given us his cold so we are struggling with Rudolph red noses. Ho Ho Humbug

DD is away at her inlaws for the first time at Christmas - they celebrate with a big dinner mid afternoon and don't have a Christmas tree. Due to bad weather they are having to spend a lot of time indoors, so she is feeling quite strange; at least she won't get this cold!

Waiting for my parents to drop in: they relish their lunch alone these days - beautifully laid table, candelabra, three courses, and ending just in time for the Queen's speech and a quiet doze.

Thinking of all who are sad or struggling today x

Merry Christmas everyone, hugs for the poorlies. Had a lovely layin till 9, which was much needed and appreciated as was woken at 4am by the ppl behind us having a blazing row in their back garden . Scarlett was not impressed and showed it by giving a few woofs of disagreement . Everyone was happy with their presents , I got some beautiful sheepskin slippers that are keeping my feet lovely and toastie, and a tablet , chocolates some wool and knitting needles . Turkey crown in in the oven and veg is all prepped table is laid so having a quiet half hour . Will be going to see the god children later this evening with their presents they were up at ten past two :eek:, am so glad we don't have little ones now that want to get up so early. Have a lovely day all

:xmassign: Merry Christmas one and all x :xmastree:

We like a fairly quiet day. Breakfast together which is a novelty - croissants and bucks fizz - and then I went up to Church. Simple lunch (pate on toast) and then we've watched a bit of telly. Our neighbour popped round for a brew and a chinwag too, which was nice.

Hubby has just gone through to cut some potatoes for dinner, aiming to eat at 7:30. We've got a pork & stuffing joint this year, with yorkshire puds and then the standard trimmings - roasties, sproutles, new potatoes, cranberry sauce, pigs in blankets. Looking forward to it.

However you are spending the rest of your day, I hope you enjoy it.

Merry Xmas all!
Sitting here stuffed with Turkey, puddings and quality street. We had my first ever Xmas with just DH, kids and me - so stayed in pjs all day. I thought having no visitors or obligations would be a nice change, but it was a bit dull tbh - DH fell asleep and kids sat on consoles all day, just like the average Sunday!
Hope everyone got nice pressies xx
