Anyone feeling Christmassy?

Not a lot of point really - the whole house had to be moved around to accommodate equipment and to make it easier for me to get around, so there isn't even a place to put our tree any more. Besides, Mrs C (the Christmassy one in the house) has no notion of decorating......... yet! If that changes, I do have good neighbours who would help in a heartbeat, I am sure.

I don't have dreams like that, I only dream of Mrs C......

 

Bless your heart - no doubt, the thinking will change (particularly when the lights start going up around us) and we will be asking someone to go up in the loft; definitely no tree though, as we have nowhere to put one!

 

We don't celebrate Christmas nor birthdays, anniversaries etc. Only the young kids in the family get presents. This doesn't mean we don't like Christmas but we consider every day a celebration.

I can't stand the commerciality of it and the horrible noise when shops play their music too loud and all the shoppers are shouting in order to carry on a conversation.

As we don't celebrate it we tend to offer our help to charity organisations at Christmas and New Year - when we're not away. We've served meals to 'down and outs', transported elderly people to community dinners etc. Serving New Year's Eve dinners has been the toughest, physically, and we have decided not to do it any more . It's a pity but it's just too much for us nowadays. It means many hours of hard work and also coping with helping druggies and alcoholics who stagger through the doors. The charity do a good job and provide mattresses and showers for a few nights. They serve food in the evening for the twelve days of Christmas but we usually help out on New Year's Eve when most of the helpers want to be with their families. Funnily enough, they have plenty of volunteers for Christmas Eve and Day.
