So that was Christmas.

Takes an age getting here and is gone in a flash, how was your Christmas ? Was it better than expected, or pretty much as expected ?

Ours was completely unexpected when our daughter grandson and his dad (complicated family) drove almost 2 hours and knocked on our door totally unexpected, apparently they had been planning it for weeks and our 9 year old grandson managed to keep the secret, they arrived with their own dinners ready for the microwave and had a great day, they stayed over so we have had most of Boxing Day with them as well.
It was the highlight of what has been a tough year and we will be forever grateful that they made the effort to spend Christmas with us.

That's lovely for you and really pleased you deserve some unexpected joy.

Mine has been better than expected holiday is going great and giving me confidence to go abroad again 

Disappointed family haven't replied to my messages wishing them merry Christmas so pleased I didn't stay home 

And of course icing on the cake getting engaged

Awwww that's so lovely @woodbine and I especially loved that they bought their own dinners so you didn't feel pressure or stress about feeding them too!!
