We've just had other news that another household in the family are having a tough time this Christmas too, which is sad. Life can be really difficult for people at Christmas when they are struggling with big issues like grief or separation.johnnyjumpsuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474137444822527332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497889514720788230.post-54186764078832495772015-12-07T02:35:00.679-08:002015-12-07T02:35:00.679-08:00I think you made the right decision !

I also feel sad going through my address book & writing addresses to one aunt or uncle now on their own. I will be choosing a plainly worded Christmas card for my mother in law as it seems awful to send one with Happy Christmas inside when she lost her husband a few weeks ago. One of the packs of cards I bought says Have a fantastic time inside ! ( I'm sending that to my brother who has three new grandchildren this year -three babies for Christmas !BadPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889591351222591488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497889514720788230.post-75736286303505270462015-12-06T10:37:28.947-08:002015-12-06T10:37:28.947-08:00We got the bags of decorations out of the loft tod...We got the bags of decorations out of the loft today. I can't understand why I have so much and it's so awkward to lift them out whilst on a ladder. I think I'm going to have a good sort out and try to get it down to a minimum this year.

I have some other bits and bobs to put out but I can't be bothered with a tree, let alone spend out for one. It sounds more miserable than it is!thrift deluxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12267215022924475298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497889514720788230.post-55777499009561166502015-12-06T00:51:16.264-08:002015-12-06T00:51:16.264-08:00I think if we were staying in London for Christmas...I think if we were staying in London for Christmas Day or having anyone to stay, I would go for a tree, but for just the 3 of us in the lead up it's a lot of work. I'm sure all of your Christmas guests will love to see your tree, Christmas just isn't Christmas without one on Christmas Day. Good Luck getting the tree decorated today.johnnyjumpsuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474137444822527332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497889514720788230.post-37383088507514888662015-12-05T12:54:24.204-08:002015-12-05T12:54:24.204-08:00Working on our tree today.

I worked on it for two hours, decided to take a break and will be getting back to it in a few minutes.<br /><br />As far as other decorations, I think the only things I will be putting out are my nativities and perhaps a very few other items. I will need a center piece for our table, and a bit of Christmas colour in the living room, but nothing too much.<br /><br />God bless.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.com
