My partner has his own business so gets very little time off through the year. I love xmas because it means we all get to spend time together without worrying about early mornings and the usual stresses of daily life. I also love giving at xmas, making people smile and sharing some happiness – it isn’t all about receiving gifts and being spoilt – it’s a great feeling spoiling others too. We often invite round friends we know who aren’t as fortunate as we are to enjoy some fun 🙂

I like all the pre Christmas stuff – the wrapping presents, receiving cards, putting the tree up with our cats trying to climb it, and all the cooking together as a family on Christmas Eve!
Choosing our Christmas tree and then decorating it. It’s a tradition that it takes a very long time indeed to find just the right tree. Then it’s trimmed with decorations that we’ve gathered from all over the world. Finally it’s topped with our Christmas ‘Furry’ a tiny model of our Golden Retriever in a fairy outfit (trust me, it’s cute). Sadly she’s no longer with us, so I always shed a tear at that moment.
