[QUOTE="poohtiggy, post: 1009826, member: 130077"] My sisters and me always took turns at having mum & dad over for Christmas Day, then on Boxing day they went to another sister and Christmas Sunday another sister, then when Dad died and Mum was on her own she went to my youngest sister every Christmas Eve and over into Xmas Day, she came to us on Boxing Day. One Xmas I went to collect her and she looked so sad and said she ljust wanted to stay at home, we could not bear the thought of her alone so the yearly routine went on. Now I'm on my own and in my 70's I realise how Mum felt that day, I would be happy for everyone to do their thing and leave me alone for one day to do as I please, get up when I please, eat drink snack and watch whatever I wish to on TV. I have done Xmas with my kids, the grandkids, i love my greats grandkids too but don't really want the hype & excitement they bring with them, I would just like a day to myself. I'm not being grumpy I just want the choice. However, i'm cooking for my daughter and SIL and myself, maybe I will get my choice next year [/QUOTE]
