My mum loved Christmas. And any celebration really. Half my tea towels and things are old Christmas themed ones from the surplus she would buy. And every year EVERYONE got a present - kids, grandkids, in laws. We were not rich and I dunno how she did it but she did. Iâm talking a big extended family here. And when we were little we had presents on Christmas Eve (after mass đ) and a big party. Then she would back it up with lunch for everyone Christmas day.
That all changed a bit when she got old and sick and we could share the load, but the presents continued. When she got too old to shop she would research and buy things online through the year.
She died a few years ago now in November and there were so many pre-bought presents ready in the cupboard that we were able to package them all up and give everyone something from mum/grandma that year as a surprise.
So if you are sad or your family was crap, this is your permission to go buy (or cook or do) yourself something nice, from my mum. She would love it. â„ïžâš

I canât express how good I feel about having my old friend in my life.
I feel anchored.
After the shedding of âfriendsâ earlier this year, itâs incredibly nice to have this guy back in my life.
In other news, gastro has taken out the peeps I was doing xmas with so probs will go to section 8 for lunch tomorrow and see who else is hanging around.
Who knows what could happenâŠ

Always liked section 8. Havenât been in a while but they used to do coopers longnecks which I thought was a nice touch.

How are you feeling at the moment?
Better than the last few days of being exhausted?
Itâs great that you got to reconnect with your old friend.
Iâve been told often you donât need a lot of friends, just a few good ones for life.

Feeling much better thanks for asking! I have a core group of friends, that I trust and wouldnât think twice to help with whatever they needed.
But itâs always good to keep yourself open to others as you never know who you might meet.
