(60,013 posts)Since we are packing and getting ready to move in a few weeks, no tree (well, a 1 foot tall fake one with a small set of white lights), and only a few gifts for my wife and I for each other. Nice breakfast, long dog walk - dinner at our daughter's house (which was OK - we are not a fan of her hubby). Happiest when we got home to our dogs and cats and watched a movie, then got into our warm bed.
Way too much water under the bridge - Christmas becomes a complicated holiday when much of the family has passed away (aunts, uncles, grandparents, parents, sister, brother) - and the kids are grown and out of the house - and one has evolved away from the religious part of it. All of those ghosts....
Mostly it was nice to take a break from decluttering and packing!
