The most fabulous,frustrating,exhausting,indulgent,bustling and reflective few days there are. :)
nah, not for me. Christmas is laid-back FUN.
The sentiments you've written I'd apply to the whole vegetable growing season tho, from seeding to harvest ;D
OK,Christmas surely is the most laid back,fun, fabulous,frustrating,exhausting,indulgent,bustling and reflective few days there are. :)

NO. >:(
Take it,thats a no then??? ???
I think it depends on what is happening in your life. Mostly I have found Xmas fun and relaxed but since peter died I struggle. When my kids were little and money was short it was a worry - can I balance the books? Peter and I had an illicit visit to midnight mass in the cathedral for our first Xmas. Neither of us was a practising Catholic/Christian, but we both found the liturgy and the carol singing delightful at that time.
I agree,It is hard to enjoy Christmas when life is not going well.
We enjoyed the carol service yesterday and it was very calming.
A reminder what it was all about.
Hope you have a peaceful Christmas Ann. :)

Poor old FLegs, His Chrismas days are not the same without his Ronco presents and Ktel records.

Christmas surely is .... the most wonderful time of the year! I love it. Although I don't at the moment because having fought off one lot of germs a couple of weeks ago, I've now got a chest infection >:(
