Will be a bit of a **** Xmas day for us this year - the mother-in-law's Care Home option is unlikely to be finalised before the New Year now and my other half can't handle the thought of not seeing her mum on Xmas Day - so we will likely be down at the Community Hospital in South Wales to visit her on Xmas day - we'll have our Xmas dinner once we get back home on (Boxing day or the day after) but it will be very sad - my other half has spent every Xmas with her mum and usually the whole family gets together - the old girl was actually cooking the Xmas dinner last year - surreal what has happened since then - she's now paralysed down her right side and will need medical care for the rest of her life.


That's harsh mate. It's gatherings when the nearest and dearest are missed

Have to say it's stories like this and own experiences that make me suck it up and join in with family gatherings and make an effort. You just never know who won't be around for the next one

Don't get me wrong I always regret them too, after, because inevitably some **** kicks off. But am there the year after with those lost in mind

Families hey? Can't live with em can't live without em

No plans for Xmas personally

Probably just get on it for a week and have a few jars in memory of my old dear who passed in April

Microwave curry for Xmas dinner <laugh><cracker>
 
Turkey Tikka Masala?
Yeah summin like that. The birds working Xmas day so might head down there for a free dinner in the daytime as she works in a pretty swanky restaurant. I aint Got no kids and no family over here so might as well.

Xmas is more for kids I think.
