"Pre Christmas long weekend in London already booked. Shopping in Hamlys toy shop for the grandkids on Saturday morning. Going to see a band called ‘Within Temptation’ on the Saturday night. More shopping in London on the Sunday, including picking up a Harrods Luxury Christmas pudding (not as expensive as some might imagine). There’s a nice food court called Market Halls near to Oxford Circus. And a cafe near to His Majesty’s Theatre on the top floor of Dover Street Market that does the best granola, yoghurt and fruit I’ve ever tasted, plus some very nice coffees." Go to Fortnum And Mason and buy some of their Toffolossus biscuits. They are the best biscuits in the world. | |||

"I’m not per se a Christmas grinch , I love the excitement of getting stuff ready for the kids , the whole build up etc is exciting . Being out of the house is a rare thing for me socially , and for the most part I have to have a reason to be out or it’s a no-go. There are more reasons for me to stay indoors than there are to go out, and so taking the kids out for some Xmas days is a big deal for me and it’s probably the only season where there is some moderation of joy around . It does jar me greatly when I’m asked what I want for Xmas , my reply is usually a polite ‘ nothing ‘, I’d rather company . Sooner or later through circumstance or whatever , you realise Christmas isn’t about the gifts , the wealthy dining spread , the biggest tree , the hoard of gifts waiting to be shredded open with anticipation , the trashy vile narcissistic social media posts exuding repugnant lavishness , guilt tripping those of a lesser fortune …. Christmas isn’t about any of that crap , to me It’s about people .. people that we wish were still in our lives , people that with the hardest of wishes we can never bring back.. Gifts don’t fix that emptiness , and Christmas is that brutal kick in the gut of a reminder . Christmas and the run up to it is the high point , but come Christmas Day it’s the worst crash that I have, and I have to do my best to get through it. So for some of us , Christmas is a struggle. And as the years go by it doesn’t get easier . Sorrry for my morose post " I'm truly sorry for you and sincerely wish I could help ease your pain but I can't all I can say is I wish for you the very best Christmas Christmas you can have. For myself as a kid I had nothing. And as long as I can afford it my family will want for nothing I spoil them rotten and I'm not ashamed to do so merry Christmas xxx | |||
