I agree NQ smile I was thinking about Christmas this year and how it's going to be very different. Not just because H won't be there, but I'll be making it different smile You could say I'll be 180ing Christmas smile No more over the top decorations in the rooms, H used to get those shiny streamers and dangling ones and it just looked really cheap and nasty. I might make some paper chains instead, I've not decided yet.
One of my friends decided one year that she was going to do one thing towards Christmas every day from the 1st November, whether it was cleaning the cutlery, writing Christmas cards, visiting a parade, etc. I was thinking of doing the same this year. She's not one to embrace Christmas, but this helped her get into the spirit of it smile
I shall definitely be cutting down on the food shopping list. We always went overboard at Christmas and we'll still be eating things out of the freezer at Easter time, lol. I won't be getting as many snacks as last year, I don't really sit down and pig out like I did before. I eat very sensibly now because I like to keep my weight down smile
