Do you ever feel like Christmas is demanding?
I think a little like this. Maybe the older I am (45😆).
Have we turned it into a checklist rather than a feeling?
Now there's an interesting thought amongst the 70, 0000 thoughts already running through our minds each day.
But why?!
Maybe we allow the magic to get mixed up with pressure.
✨️Christmas can be simple - it can be yours ✨️
I would say on reflection, Christmas is to remind us...👀
That if you think it's about peace and joy, try serving the turkey on time.😆
We all have that one person who says 'right, lets do this' then the real chaos unfolds😆
Then we have those around us that make it special ⬇️
🎄GRANDAD THE SNOOZER
Claims he's resting his eyes
🎄NANA THE FEEDER
Constantly asking do you want some more when your plate is clearly full and handing yorkshires out like they are rations 😆 do you even have yorkshires at Christmas? Another conversation for later....
🎄DAD THE CHRISTMAS CHEF
Manages to use every pot and bench space available🙄
🎄MAM THE GENERAL
Been planning since the summer. Only needs one question to stop being asked ' is there anything I can do' after everything is already
done
🎄THE MOTHER IN LAW - COMMENTATOR or OBSERVER
As you carefully unwrap the present and feel the eyes heavy on you,checking your expression if its 100% yes or a definite mmmm!
🎄THE KIDS
As they are older looking for the label not the orange in the stocking...
🎄THE DOG. - THE KING IN MY HOUSE
Knows exactly when a sausage roll will hit the foor
In the end, its about the feeling that stays behind it all 🎄 let it get messy, allow the imperfections but its the laughter and the moments that we will remember , for sure & talk about forever.
Its only a Sunday dinner 😆😆😆
