I know this thread won't be popular with Skye (Hazel) but I have seen at least two people already post about their anxieties about Christmas and I am starting to wonder the issue of Christmas (or any other Holy Day or celebration for other faiths and cultures) almost doesn't deserve a year-round thread ....
Some of us are already worrying about what we might do. Me included. If we are to book something special then we need to be arranging it now .. And how to balance the needs and wants of others? Hubby, good as he is with mum, is already fed up we haven't managed a proper break this year .... he'd like to go away somewhere ...... so would I!!!!!! A million miles away preferably ......
Without the support of an extended family, anyone have any ideas how to plan to make Christmas at least 'manageable' if not special for a small family whose lives are dominated by mum's needs? (And to include making her needs a priority too?)
Thanks, Karen, x
