celebrate Christmas

time alone was a bit of a treat this holiday as we had a lot of people and places packed in, but the time alone we did have was mostly wonderful – and therefore – enjoyable!

Never had a real fire before, but it was lovely and very Christmassy… very enjoyable!

It was huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge!

Dressing up in silly Xmas themed costumes – enjoyable!

Having proper Christmas dinner with my partners extended family – enjoyable!

There was much present giving, which of course, is enjoyable ;o)

Never-ever have I been this organised at Christmas!

I have actually written Christmas cards – and some of them are enroute to the right places too :o)

All my pressies are bought – and were given more thought than I usually would have – and they are pretty much all wrapped up too.

How exciting!

but usually I just ‘get through’ Xmas rather than celebrate it. There are various reasons as to why this is to do with bad memories about past Christmasses which mean I have negative connotations attached. I also dont usually have people to spend the season with, so hence in the past it has been quite a lonely time.

However, this year is different, so I am determined to celebrate Christmas and set a new precedent for future Christmasses to follow!

Decorations this year, visited the annual Norwalk house display near the Wilton line with my son.

Tomorrow nite is X-mas movie nite and we are hanging more lights that I bought the other day to make my house look ridiculous.

The only bad news is that my trip to Hershey with my son may get snowed in.
