Merry Christmas

merry Christmas sane friends

I’m painfully aware that I have dished out some colourful language, been a bit difficult to a few people at times this year but I still consider many of mates
Thanks for having my back this year

I hope your Christmas is ok despite the very obvious challenges which unite us all on here to start with, and if you don’t celebrate I hope you can find something to keep you busy

(I use to volunteer on the Christmases I was alone pre r/ship and kids, it helped)

Re: Merry Christmas

@ArraDreaming Yeah I used to volunteer a lot for Christmas. We do different things to help. It matters to others and it matters to the helper. I often took my kids to the Prom (beach camping) for Christmas and put pressies under some teatree bush. This week I was able to have a GREAT MOMENT with my 4 yo grandson as he had just come back from the same place with in-laws, and could tell my old photos were the same place he had been. He was so excited telling me about how the sand squeaks at Squeaky beach. I will treasure that forever.
