It is supposed to be a time of good will, well for some.

Then there are the lonely ones, people on their own with no one.
My brother in law lives in a life style village on the south coast, lives by himself.
He has a Neice only ten minutes drive away and she invited him to go there for Christmas.
No, as he cannot stand her husband.
So I asked him how he would spend the day.
Cook some Turkey with stuffing, roast spuds and veg followed by Christmas pudding and cream.
I asked him how about the Christmas Crackers, need two to pull them.
He told me he would pull his own cracker that day.!!!!!
HA HA John, we have a family Christmas hosted by my eldest daughter, always a fun day. My son always has to go to his in laws; this year he will be at sea for Christmas, he is cock a hoop.
