Christmas and new year survival support group

Unfortunately, my Partner and I have to split up over Christmas because we have two Mum's to care for in two separate houses in two different Counties, and as you know my Partner is not well either; as well as me. Relatives have scarped; don't want to know. :( So it's a bleak, bleak Christmas for me.

That's true about street lights in the town, at least I can see where I am going...the country roads to get there are the worst :(
We are going to my daughters for Christmas day but so are all her husbands family. We also have 20 family members at our house the Saturday before Christmas

That's quite a house full Annie
Will you do a buffet type meal?
I can never seem to get all the food to the table at the right time

[Annie0904]

Yes and I am doing as little baking/cooking as possible. I have just been online and ordered sandwiches from M&S, will get dominoes to deliver pizza and I will do some chicken and desserts
Aww Carnation I am sorry you and your partner can't be together for Christmas...we will all have to escape for a bit and chat on here

I'm in too, it's a horrid time for me.

And there I was thinking it was just me. I'd love to participate, I always struggle with Christmas/new year. As soon as December flips over on the calendar,up goes the anxiety. Last year it was the run-up rather than the actual event, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I mean,what is Christmas really other than a souped-up Sunday?

Carnation - I'm sorry to hear that, stay on the thread with us
