dog Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Just sitting down to watch Love Actually with the family. Not the best film ever but a symbol that the festivities are upon us.

Mostyn6 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Feeling lonely, miserable, isolated and the general feeling that I’m missing the things that people with close-family enjoy.

Eddie Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 For the last decade, we have migrated to my daughter's house in Sheffield for Christmas Day, and one year in two we stay overnight. That's the case this year. I have to drive to Keynsham, pick my son up, he stays at our house for a couple of nights, then on to Sheffield for the main event. This year, there will be the occasional medicinal beverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinder Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I always listen to Sasha and Digweed’s Northern Exposure at this time of year. It isn’t remotely Christmassy but I was given it for Christmas on CD in the mid 90s, so it’s always felt festive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 After decades of having a rammed houseful every Boxing Day, for cold turkey, Hams, pickles, and real chips (the only time the chip pan comes out!), and lots of drink, games and laughter, I am now getting the horrible feeling that Christmas tradition in our house is rapidly becoming one of misery! Boxing Day 2019 cancelled due to my sister dying suddenly and unexpectedly 12 days prior, so we were all feeling sorry for ourselves. Last year cancelled for Covid. This year... 90 year old father in law was taken into hospital last Thursday evening, with low readings all round, and feeling "a bit under the weather"... all unexpected and out of the blue (despite his age and a triple heart by-pass 10 years ago!). Subsequently, there's been a lot of guesswork and head scratching going on, and lots of calls to various experts from various fields spread around the country. The upshot being they are working towards it being Myasthenia Gravis*, but "with something else going on that we're still baffled about"! ...And now there's talk of Sepsis too! He's literally become a gibbering wreck in little more than 48hrs, with inconclusive MRI's, feeding tubes, drips everywhere, and bleepers going off from all directions... and a face that makes him look like he's done 25 rounds with whoever is the current heavyweight boxing champeen of the world! The experts really aren't giving us much hope to cling to! Muckerette was really struggling to cope, being the only allowed visitor, so much so, she wasn't strong enough to go and see him on Sunday. But the wonderful caring folk at Derby Royal were generous enough to allow her "a carer" yesterday... Me! Hopefully, it'll be the same again later today, so at least she doesn't have to suffer alone. It's beginning to look a lot like... another utterly miserable Christmas, and a third consecutive cancelled Boxing Day! ? Season of Joy? Utter baalocks! *No. We neither!

Was just gonna say, bacon butties in birds cobs, before prezzies. You might need to do a delivery service. Love and kindness needed by some posters on here. Christmas can be a miserable time for some and that’s why I think it’s important that those of us who can enjoy the experience should do so with gusto and without cynicism.

1of4 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Awaiting a family member's covid test results. So we may be back to spending Christmas day the same way as last year. Watching through a window as the grandchildren open their Christmas presents. Then heading home to have lunch without them and the rest of the family. Defiantly don't want this becoming a family tradition at Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
