It has been a challenge this year but we are organised, happy and being together as a family means more than expensive gifts etc .... wishing everyone peace, love and if you're struggling I hope for the holidays things will be at least peaceful. You will be thought about, we always remember the struggling and sad and less fortunate in our house (((((((((((((((all))))))))))))))))Ophelia xxxxx
I think it's wonderful that you all get to be together. It's not about the money or the gifts, but about being together, IMHO. Some of the best Xmas' I have had involved just a potluck type dinner, drinking apple cider and watching funny movies.
I hope you all have the best time!!
I think I am going to spend some time volunteering this year.
