My husband and I usually share Christmas alone each year and it’s lovely. We have no complaints. I’m a very lucky woman. This Christmas, however, my parents are staying home instead driving down south plus they are too old to do Christmas. My parents haven’t had a family Christmas in at least 30 years but it’s been their choice. My brother is cooking the turkey and making the stuffing. I’m cooking a maple glazed ham with a potato dish and some broccoli and cheese sauce plus making all the gluten free things like devils good cake, gingerbread cookies. Ive made extra gingerbreads to give the healthcare staff that are helping them. It’s not something my parents would even consider but I want them to know how appreciative I am. I also got them some individually wrapped chocolates to put in the tins. That’s Christmas Day.
Im bringing my saxophone and my brothers bringing his trumpet & frugal horn so we are going to Sernade my parents and probably the neighbours :laugh: I’ll probably sing also and I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve been practicing Christmas carols and it’s been so fun.
Today my husband’s sister invited us over for some fresh from Newfoundland Salmon. His parents just showed up and I wasn’t expecting to go anywhere today and had planned on doing the rest of my Christmas shopping and decorating cookies so I didn’t go. I also didn’t realize that they don’t know about the family reunion because my sister in law has wanted it as a surprise so I think I really let they down. I’ll be seeing them at a Mandarin Restaurant with my husband entire family minus one brotherans his family. I’m currently making gingerbreads for all of them too. I’m really looking forward to this. I haven’t seen my brothers wife in about 17 years now and I really love her. We email each other often .
Shes invited us over on the 29th. She begged and pleaded for me to come over and rescue her. I’ was honoured. I’m so happy to say I get along splendidly well with some family members and it’s really a nice really.,
We are having my husband’s parents over New Years Eve or New Year’s Day. I haven’t seen them in ten years.
That part I’m nervous about but I’ll manage I’m sure.
This isn’t the norm for us but we’ll adjust I’m sure.
How social are you this Christmas?
Do you have many plans?
Do you like being more social at Christmas or do you prefer to chill by yourself or with your significant other?
