Being Looked After On Christmas Day

[NoseyNose]

I will be on my own this Christmas Day. So I am so surprised (but probably shouldn't be) just how many people, new friends,who are looking after me.

One family(with 5 ki8ds) took me for drinks in the local pub.The husband is cooking Christmas Dinner,which will be delivered to my door,with all the trimmings!

On Boxing Day,I will be with "new neighbours" for lunch/drinks and entertainment.

I think that this will be the best Christmas I have had for some years.

But over and above all, my Christmas would not exist,without all you wonderful guys here on AB,that have seen me through a really tough time lately.

So this is just for you~

Kids(not 8 kids) although sometimes they seem like 8! LOL

Cheers. A merry one to you too.

 

I thought that was one fat lady looking after the kids !

Excellent. Really cheering to see how good people pull together and share their Christmas joy with others. I really do wish you the best and joyous Christmas ever.

Yes,all round not the sad,miserable on my own Christmas Day,that I thought it might be(It was the first on my own in 49 years,as such).

I even had a call from the Canary Islands,where the two people (a couple) that have been really looking after me are on their (big family) hols.

Although they are away for a while,they have made a network of friends/contacts to look after me.I should be (and am) really grateful.

More updates will be coming! LOL

Great news, nosey, and lovely to hear new friends are pitching in and making sure you're not on your own, even if you're having a quiet one today.

All the very best for the New Year and please keep us posted with all your news 🙂🤗
