Thanks for sharing some of your thoughts about your solstice tree. How nice that your adult sons were there so you could all do it together! Your caution around not doing too much all at once is also very wise
@Camsmom AND @Jule_P, I often wonder what's the right approach, when a friend or relative has been quite ill. Do I say "So what's happening now, what are the doctors saying?" Or just say "How are you?" and the person will fill in details if they wish? (I suppose this could be a new topic???)
What beautiful thoughts you have shared with us! I can feel the depth of your gratitude through your words. After such a difficult year I hope you do have a wonderful Christmas with your son - I’m sure it will be memorable for both of you!
after reading your post about your family being blissfully unaware of your situation my question is “What is that like for you?” Does anyone know about your concern regarding a recurrence or that you are worried this may be your last Christmas? If not, is this something you would discuss with someone close to you?

do you favorite music or a movie at this time of year?
My favorite Christmas movie is definitely the classic black and white version of A Christmas Carol. The British actor Alastair Sim plays Scrooge and it was made in 1951. The acting is fantastic plus I think the whole atmosphere of Victorian England is captured so well. Some film critics have pointed out that England was still recovering from World War II when this movie was being made and that the hardships of that time in history might also be reflected in some of what we see on screen.
thanks for sharing your thoughts with us and such an encouraging and supportive message. I’m so glad that are enjoying the time you have with your family and looking forward to Christmas. I hope it is a wonderful and joyful time for all of you.
I made apple crumble and chocolate eclairs, and we went to bed at 12:15 AM. Best Wishes to all for 2020!
Happy New Year! Loved the bluegrass music. Made me want to get up and step dance even though I have no idea how !
I had a lovely New Years. Pyjama and movie day 😄 then watched the ball drop and went to bed. It was great!
