December '23 Practice

The end of the year period is complex for me. I was brought up to celebrate Christmas and this is still a cultural expectation I feel pressure to realise. I am a single mother and the parenting issues at this time of year are particularly difficult.  

I celebrate Christmas Eve (special meal and hanging stockings for Santa to come), Christmas Day (opening of presents, another special meal), New Year’s Eve (watch fireworks on TV and celebrate the potential for the year ahead - don’t do New Year’s resolutions any more don’t feel they are helpful) 

Thanks for your question @TideisTurning

a difficult time of the year for many
