We've not really been celebrating Christmas in our household this year.
Only three people have shared our Christmas table with us in recent years and we weren't expecting any of them to be with us today.
(Younger son) Ben is spending Christmas and New Year in France with his girlfriend, although he came home for a couple of nights two weeks ago. A call via Skype was a welcome start to our day.
My 86 year old mother in law is very immobile, although she enjoys watching some of the summer races from the car parks (multi lap races are good for that). She didn't want to go out in the cold today although we were able to visit her.
(Elder son) Robbie has been getting specialist help outside of home for the past 7 weeks but we were able to have him home for a few hours today, although Christmas dinner was a bit unconventional. Robbie is planning to run in the relay although you might miss - his weight has fallen from 11 1/2 stone to under 10.
Like everyone else, I am fed up with bugs, ice and an expanding waistline but at least I have finished the day happier than I expected. The Royle family always helps!
