Me too!
The day started at 2.24am with one of my sons loudly annoucing to his twin that Santa had been. We then spent the next 2 hours trying to get them back to bed..which we eventally managed and all fell asleep in our bed about 5am.
We got up at 8.30am and had a fantastic day unwrapping presents, travelling to the outlaws for lunch and then playing with toys. The boys still believe and were most upset that they had not heard the clatter of Santa and the reindeer on the roof. Late afternoon when the boys got tired I set off to visit Mum.
She was a little agitated and her skirt was bearing the brunt of it being almost at her hips (most unlike her!) but she then ahd sandwiches and trifle. Apart from the tuna that ended up on her nose as she tried to feed herself she enjoyed it. Especially the trifle.
I had gven her a big soft toy dog who has been nicknamed Bobby Bingo. He really helped to calm her agitation.
Mum has gotten slightly better physically but slightly worse mentally IYKWIM.
DH and one of my sons then appeared. My wee lad had come especially to say thank you to Nana for the present that she had given him (with a little help from Mum and Dad!). She did not know him or what he was saying to her but smiled at him. I was so proud of him.
I know that this is likely to be the last Christmas that I have my Mum here. I am glad that it went so well.
Peace and Joy this season to all of you. It can creep up and catch you unawares even when you don't expect it.
Love
