| Hi Sue, instead of cooking Xmas Dinner, why not let hubby use some of the Cruise money and treat you and family to Xmas dinner at a swish restaurant. From what you say it would make a nice change.

Sue
The last Xmas dinner I could was when my 23 year old son was 3 months old! If I wasn't basting the turkey, I was feeding him and changing nappies. I made the stupid mistake with having everyone to me (Mum, Dad, MIL, FIL, Brother & Sister in law x 2) having an excited 3 year old and the 3 month old. I did not see Natalie open her presents and I swore there and then that I would not be doing that again! I was very upset at missing out and back then I would not take any offers of help, wanting to do it all myself (because offers of help just make me feel inadequate)! The following Xmas we went to a hotel for christmas every year. But then in 1998 we did our first christmas cruise and have not looked back since! One year we gave cruising a miss and went to a hotel, but it was just (well want for a better word) ****, compared to our christmas cruises! In these hard times I would always do the Xmas cruise instead of going away in the summer if finances meant we couldn't do both. I stupidly booked us into a balcony cabin on Aurora next christmas, but am now wishing I'd booked an inside and also had a cruise booked for the summer! Oh well hindsight is a wonderful thing!
Now this Xmas is going to be very strange for me. DD will be working - BIL, SIL and young niece will be on Ventura, and DS is staying at home :-( Now I know that this day would come eventually, but I'm not really sure how I'm going to cope with it! I guess I will be very emotional on christmas day. Doesn't help that I'm at that time in my life where it doesn't take much to set me off ;-)
