catinou Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 That's lovely Michele - just goes to show there are some nice people left in this world after all. We will be spending Christmas with our elder son, his wife and our 2 beautiful grandchildren. We missed them like crazy last year when we visited our youngest and his wife in Dubai - a wonderful experience, for a change, but Christmas doesn't have the same feel without the "little people". We are taking them to Lapland New Forest in December - just for the magic of it - worth looking at their website, to get in the mood for the season. :-> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howie Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Can,t imagine a Christmas away from home without family and friends to share the festive spirit. It still holds all that magic, even after all these years, although my excuse lies with with making it special for the children, if only to hide my own excitement. Such a shame all that goodwill is so shortlived, and perhaps we should spare a thought for those not so fortunate and who live alone. Young or old, we all know someone in this position and our own contribution is to always have a elderly neighbour we know quite well around for Christmas dinner. Ends up that she stays well into the evening, but its always a pleasure to have her, and the very thought of her sat there all alone on Christmas day would shame me. That extra place at the table is neither here nor there, but it makes a heck of a difference for those less fortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
