Thank goodness.
Last night it was the family Christmas celebration, on Christmas Eve as is the Scandinavian tradition. Then today the extended family came by for brunch and more presents. Doesn’t matter how hard you try, you can’t escape the commercialism. In any event it is great to see the family all together and we’re very lucky that we have a wonderful extended family with none of the usual skeletons that seem to emerge from the closet at times like this.
It’s raining at the moment and it’s been a much cooler today so that makes things a bit easier too.
The only thing that wasn’t easy today was visiting my father-in-law in the nursing home. Until you’ve experienced, having to visit a close relative with dementia is something that you can’t imagine in your worst nightmares.
Anyway, he enjoyed it and we did our duty. Doesn’t make it any easier, though.
Enjoy your holiday.
