I had a brilliant 3 days surfing on the North Yorkshire Coast. That was the best part of Christmas.
Spending time with extended family which I only see once a year is something I can do without.
It’s true what they say,
“You can choose your friends” hmm...
As for the commercial side of Christmas, I find it sickening. My inlaws spent a fortune on our soon to be 2 year old. He was still opening gifts at 4pm. I was not happy, it’s not needed and not what Christmas should be about.
There will be an interesting conversation before next year.
We have been skiing a few times over Christmas and it’s a much more enjoyable Christmas.
One gift per person, dinner together, staying active and not having to meet up with boring Tom, Dick and Harry just because we share some blood line of sorts.
