I love all the lights & decorations etc, & xmas dinner used to be the kids faces but my kids are older now so it's not the same

Things I'd change
1) SNOW, would love a white Christmas

2) Some one else to do all the cooking! my parents can no longer cook meat/turkey etc for themselves or bake but like to be in their own home, so I've to do my own & theirs then walk a mile to get it to them (I dont drive).

Also the 2 days before xmas are manic in ours Ive always baked cakes etc before xmas, as my mum loves home made cakes, so it's 2 days of solid baking with my own & my mums then walk the mile again to get it there, sometimes takes 2 or 3 journeys to carry it to them too.

So by Christmas day Im usually wrecked! & sleep for an hour or so after dinner we get a few days clear then I have it to do the same again on the 29th/30th for New year!
