Groundhog Dec 2018 9:40am, 24 Dec 2018 149 posts	Quote Pin Groundhog Well it's nice to dip back in to the Christmas Day Thread before the actual day. For us the potential stress comes early with the arrival of my parents yesterday, who are then with us for over a week. For me this is OK and it's just part of them making up for lost time when they lived out of the country. The kids like having them around, my wife less so. So, if there's stress on other people's part it is up to me to help manage it for them. Like last night - I had an invite to a running friend's cheese and wine do, so I went with my wife (a huge cheese fan ) and left instructions with the kids to keep the old folks entertained. That seemed to work pretty well and I managed to get runners to talk about other stuff that my wife could get involved with. For my parents, they seemed happy enough and after all, it's the grand kids that my folks really want to see. I'm at work today, so I might try and fit in a lunchtime run just for myself.
