Feeling a bit low today....but also nostalgic....remembering how much I loved Christmas when I was a child...still do, but it's not the same when you're a single adult
:(
Oh leahyl I really feel for you Christmas and New Years can be A lonely Time of the year when you’re single.
But please remember you’re never alone when you have all of us here. And I’m always around for a chat or if you ever need to vent.
And as Jude said the grass is always greener on the other side. It’s ok to have days like this. I know you’ll bounce back soon enough and hopefully there’ll be a few snowy days ahead to help cheer you up

Leahyl, also always around if you fancy a chat, either here or in PM. I'm a big believer in talkingMy OH asked me last night if I was ordering in a turkey (as its a thing here) or cooking, I of course said cooking one. I may regret this however when at the last minute I will be panicking over cooking a turkey. I need to schedule out the brineing, pealing of veg, I also need to make a veggie option for one of our potential guest, which means two stuffings and two mains. Not complaining as I have dietary requirements too.
I took more of a role in cooking the turkey last year for the first time. Was at a turkey presentation (how to pick one, prepare it, cook it etc) in a local butcher the November before so was very gung ho about doing the whole thing. Wouldn't lie was a bit of pressure on the day however all turned out alright. I'm sure you'll be fine Jude.
On the veggie option we did a nut loaf for my brother in law and he loved it. Maybe something to consider.0 -

Tis the spirit of Christmas! One of the things I am looking forward to at the moment is the excuse of "...but its Christmas!" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH9n_t1r6i4) to enable me to eat sweets for breakfast.
Better then drinking aftershave

About 11 years ago I got one of those booklets with Christmas recipes as an insert to the good housekeeping magazine. There was not a single recipe in it that was a dud.
Then I started to collect different other recipes from various other sources, so in the end I typed up my own Christmas Bible. Then added in other christmassy stuff, like a list of who to buy for, when to order what, and reminders for things like tickets to our usual Christmassy traditions. Knowing I have it means that I actually enjoy the process and if I ever get hit by a bus at least the OH has a step by step countdown, comprehensive shopping list and can recreate Christmas just like I do it. And see how much I actually do behind the scenes.
We've only a few more Santa years left but we've enough other traditions that when that bubble bursts it's will hopefully still be almost the same as other years. This year I plan to make my own crackers. I'll be squinting at everything to see if it will fit in a toilet roll tube from now to December!
That is brilliant. A Christmas handbook if you will.
It could turn into a family heirloom to be passed down generation to generation 0 -
