Next weekend I will be dragging the Christmas tree out of the loft dusting of the baubles and trying to untangle endless amount of lights. Normally I decorate the tree; no-one is allowed to interfere I have a bit of OCD when it comes to the tree lol, but this year I will be leaving it to hubby and our 15yr old son. Dad and son working together to create a master piece but more importantly a great memory.. First lot of chemo starts on the 2nd of December with the 2nd lot on the 23rd so I'm going to try to make this a good Christmas for us. Thought about getting matching Pj's for Christmas day also bringing the Playstation down so we can try our hand at fifa. It will be a strange one this year as usually we have a house full of relatives but due to chemo and also covid, we will be shielding. I get to put my feet up and join in rather than play host which will be nice.
Hi, thanks for sharing this. You are so right that for many this is going to be a very unusual Christmas but then we make the best of things and doing something totally different is quite likely to feel better as opposed to doing something second best. Sounds a great idea having hubby and son doing the tree too,
Janice does most of the cooking in our house but Christmas dinner is my treat to her.

Hi. thanks for sharing this. Quite timely too for me. I've just sat for the last hour or so writing my Christmas cards, trying not to focus on the fact that it will likely be the last time I'm adding 4 names to each card. We'll hang fire on the tree until after Dec 6th which is my son's birthday. Like you I'm OCD about decorating our tree but we'll see who wants to help this year. I'll be honest, I'm secretly dreading Christmas Day. I know we'll all paint smiles on and do our best to have a day to remember but I suspect I'll struggle. I suspect it'll be the Nintendo Switch adding some much needed light relief to proceedings.
