My sons partner has had two friends die this last couple of weeks with cancer. Why are we all so worried about Christmas, presents, food, if the house is clean and tidy what does it really matter if long lost aunty turns up and doesn't like your untidy house.....for goodness sake...lets all chill out... if your relatives have a problem with your hospitality then stuff them don't invite them next year.

What I always say is "take me as you find me and that included my home".
I must admit I am not house proud and when it does need doing we all pull together. After all I work all week!! That's my excuse! and it certainly has not put people off coming round.
It is the welcoming atmosphere that matters.

puss, it has taken alot of efftort to even bother with Christmas this year, 12 months ago i was thinking that maybe soon i could start to look forward to enjoying being a family without my parents, now i feel i have to make an effort for my grandson, but it is hard, this year has been one scraped rom hell for my children, they have lost 4 friends over the last 12 months and they are all feeling down, if anyone calls into our christmas day they will be held in awe for simply having survived the year
pusss ive said this many times.
people are in my opinion, too materialistic.
it shouldnt be about money things etc etc.
it should be about people.
and not just at xmas.
all year round.
if anything good has happened to me since ive come to tenerife , its to realise that money isnt the most important thing.
and things like ipods etc etc etc etc arent important really.
big tvs , cars whatever.
people are the most important thing.
show them your love because one day you wont get the opportunity .
no matter how hard you try or want to : -(
pusss, anytime , u know where i am you little old wine drinker xx

Hey puss,
Sorry to hear about what has happened recently.
Four weeks ago my big sister (shes my sister in law but to me she feels like a sister, (she is married to my sister!)
her brother died suddenly of a heart attack, leaving 2 young kids behind. I havent had the chance to see her since, and sod presents, I just want to see her and give her a huge cuddle!

You are so right -puss.Unfortuneately Christmas is often such a contrast of happy,happy,happy and complete misery. I lost mum,dad and sister -all in the month around xmas...mum and sis at opposite ends of same year. Yet-my daughter was born just 1month before xmas.....so,yes-it is a very bittersweet time. This year I just wish to have a pleasant meal with my daughter-that is all that counts xx
puss, you're so right!! My house isn't a show-home, it's an old farm cottage, with muddy paw-prints and dog hair in the hallway (I do hoover, but only once a week, 'cos I work full-time as well!). At the moment, the cats are playing with a little silver paper ball, made from a chocolate wrapper and that'll stay on the living room floor for days. The thing is, though, it's Home - it's where I feel comfy, safe and secure. My mum was quite houseproud and I think I rebelled!! My place isn't dirty, it's just a wee bit untidy sometimes, but with 5 cats, 2 dogs and a teenager, what can you expect?? My dear, late hubby used to get a "cleaning head" on, about once a month & we blitzed the place, but since he's been gone, I just feel that so long as it's presentable, that's fine. My friends come to see me, not to inspect the house and when you live surrounded by 5 acres of mud, they ain't gonna get the Ideal Home!! Be comfy and happy, lass - life's too short for the "perfect housewife"!! K xx
