Drive to PIL on Christmas Day and stay there 'til Boxing Day. Meal out with them. Don't want to ask the neighbours to do the Kitties so we have a good excuse not to stay longer. Will need my Christmas runs to cope with the hours and hours of sitting.
Eynsham the Red Knows Rain Dear Dec 2024 7:53pm, 22 Dec 2024 11,640 posts	0 Eynsham the Red Knows Rain Dear Sherry and I are on out own this year for the first time. I’ll report back as to whether that was a good thing or not as we’re used to hosting or visiting. Both daughters are doing their own thing in their respective parts of the country. They all came to us last year. I have been given a pass to go to parkrun, so I shall leave Sherry in bed and we’ll do presents on my return. Probably telly for us too.

sparklecloud Dec 2024 8:36pm, 22 Dec 2024 1,318 posts	0 sparklecloud Driving to my parents in Edinburgh on Christmas Eve but don't get to put my 'out of office' on until 5pm so hopefully no last-minute panicky emails from clients. Husband and I doing Christmas Day parkrun for the first time ever (plan is Edinburgh/Cramond, fingers crossed the weather will play ball) then back to folks' place for breakfast, presents, videogaming, Christmas meal and Christmas specials on TV (some good ones this year), in that order. Unusually will be back home in Newcastle before New Year as we want a bit of time to ourselves before a big adventure in January. I've also got a milestone birthday on 3rd January so will be doing some celebrating of that.

Both of our daughter-out-laws will be joining us tomorrow. Bingo! Full house! Looking forward to having everyone here to a degree but I’m planning to spend some time out running or in the shed on the rower as beating people is frowned upon.

DD1 and Son-i-L are driving up from that there London on the afternoon of the 24th. We're all off out for a curry for lunch on the 25th, and then we'll wave them goodbye as they head north to Scotland on the 26th to spend a few days visiting Son-i-L's Mum. Have to say, it's made the season very relaxed and stress-free. We may make this our regular Christmas.
