Didn't get up until 8.35 am - and kids got up at 8.45 to open their presents - although they were only a few as they've had the money. Seemed really strange them not being excited about Christmas. We were going to go to the Swim in the Park - but it was too late - so took a leisurely breakfast (as turkey still frozen inside !!) and then went to crem and cemetary to wish lost parents a Happy Christmas, always cracks me up and it's been years and years, this year I feel so sad about them not being with us. Maybe it's because we've had such a bad year, maybe because we're older and we start to think about our own mortality - I don't know. Just feel it's not really like Christmas AT ALL. Rang my brother, but sister rang me and left message on answer phone. I'd love to have had a real family get together. I think next year I'd like to try and organise one.
Turkey just about thawed now 1.30 pm - so shall get him cooked and then have our dinner about 5 instead of lunch time.
Happy Christmas EVERYONE.
