We dont do Christmas either apart from having the next door neighbour in to dinner as her lot are always somewhere else, and at 92 she needs some company on such a day.

I don't usually do Christmas - much to the annoyance of my two (adult )
daughters! christmas tree usually (reluctantly ) goes up on Christmas eve.

Eldest usually drags me over to hers on Christmas day - which is lovely - she can certainly cook - and my son in law is a chef. However, I feel guilty as I don't drive, so one of them can't drink as someone has to bring me home again!

However, this year, eldest's hubby is now head chef, so he's working.
She has a choice, go to his parents, stay at home and her father, partner and her child (they are lovely) turn up, or come to mine, where we share the tasks and, as she said - 'Have a Christmas at home'. I was touched.

They'll come over Christmas morning (daughter & two grand children) and she'll drop hubby off at work.
Then she'll pick him up at 5ish and they'll all go home.
As eldest is pregnant - she won't drink - but it means he can ( a little bit )- he still has to cook for a few hundred!

Seven year old grand daughter is staying with me this weekend - so she can decorate the tree. She's also going to help me with my dolls house, while I try to get her interested in Maths ( having a bit of a problem at the moment). Amazingly, as my doll's houses are the usual one twelfth scale, I can easily casually ask her to measure things and try to work out the scale of things - and 'voila' - maths has a reason!! LOL

Grandson's birthday is on 30th December- he'll be two - so will go over there then - other than that I'll hopefully be alone!!

Sounds like I don't like my children and grandchildren- I do - I love them to bits - but I also enjoy 'me' time.
Could be something with bringing my children up on my own from the ages of 3 and 5.
