Christmas

2015 has been a pretty tough year for us, what with one thing and another. It started with Garys operation, from which he is now fully recovered. I had much written about problems at work, I was lucky to have been offered a new job, and months down the line Im a lot happier with less stress and unhappiness.

We have had lots of problems with Garys Mum, getting older, and several different health issues, its still ongoing. Its difficult to get the help which is needed. Not knowing which way to turn. It makes you think because we are all getting older.

It has got me thinking about the 'true meaning of Christmas', its certainly not about the amount of money you spend, its more about giving people 'time'. Garys mum doesnt want presents, she has enough 'stuff', But a visit from family or friends to help cheer her up would be great. I realise we live in a busy world, but....

10 mins out of your day would make an older persons day. So we are not sending anywhere near as many gifts this year....not because we are being a Scrooge, but we are concentrating on visiting people ec.

Go on make someones Christmas, pop around for a cuppa and a chat.

Merry Christmas

Live, love and laugh
