In the afternoon my daughter and her boyfriend came over and we watched Boston Kickout and did spot the location as most of it is filmed in Stevenage. And then my brother in law visited from Peterborough. He tried to be cheerful but it was hard finding things to discuss and it felt a bit awkward.
Keeping busy I cooked out traditional Christams Eve meal of roast pork, bread dunplings and sauerkraut. We then opened some presents. My beautiful daughters had clubbed together and bought me a pandora bracelet with two charms, an angel they said looked like me (lol) and a bead with hearts all over it. That brought tears to my eyes - it was such a meaningful present for me and I love it. I'm so lucky to have them. I had some nice gifts from my husband too and once again the evening felt 'normal'. For the first time ever the girls had plans to go out for the evening, so here we are sitting together pretty much in silence doing our own thing. I've decided to go to the midnight communion and hope I can hold it together. I think that is the better option rather than getting drunk and sayiing things I'll regret later on........
I hope that anyone reading this has a merry Christmas.
