My 2026 will be ……..

I’ve spent over a week with my 2 year old grandson - the longest time we’ve been together in either of our lives 😊 Everyone can be your teacher and this is what I’ve learned so far 😊 1. When you’re little, as long as you’re okay, your whole world is okay. 2. As you grow up - especially as a parent - when you’re whole world is okay, you’re okay. 3. Some people never make that transition. Can anyone relate?

My all-time favourite Christmas song is Nat King Cole's version of 'Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZIlxb_18xw There's something really poignant about they way he delivers it. 🙂 After that - in no particular order - it's 🎄 Slade - Marry Christmas Everyone 🎄 Jona Lewie - Can you Stop the Cavalry 🎄 Brenda Lee - Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree 🎄 Any Version - Christams Day 1915 - though I like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG3l-OBdcPI Your turn! What are your Five Favourite Christmas Songs?

If you celebrate Christmas you’ll be highly aware that we’re less than a week away from that most wonderful and challenging day 😊 I have a theory that if you do something at Christmas at least two years in a row it has the potential to become a tradition. We can quite easily slip into habits we don’t necessarily enjoy - like visiting the neighbours for pre-Christmas dinner drinks, or opening one present each on Christmas Eve, or having pancakes for breakfast on December 25th 😊 In our house, we have lasagna for dinner on Christmas Eve. It’s traditional 😊 But nobody remembers why - except me 😊 Many years ago, our young daughter wanted to contribute to the cooking and only knew how to make lasagna. So that became - and still is - our Christmas Eve dinner, only now it’s made by me 😊 🤶🏻 So what traditions does your household follow? 🤶🏻And where did they come from? 🤶🏻 Are there any traditions you’d love to drop? 🤣
