Think it's a couple of years since I was last on here but I'm back again, eldest son and his family will be home from South Africa over Christmas this year so should be almost back to being the way it used to be. Younger son and his family live away too so Christmas Day has just been DD and us the last couple of years. I've still decorated and made and frozen food etc but it will be more fun this year with everyone around at some point. I'm in the UK and have three children plus four grandchildren - two girls and two boys.
