Hey folks xo

I felt like it may be good to talk about what we enjoyed about our Christmas and boxing day it can be simple things but it's important to recognise what was nice as we can hold onto it? 

Be wary of others and remember the spoiler features there :)

I really enjoyed the pressie I got rely nice and super fun!  There was plenty of good food and the party last night was at first nerve wracking but really really fun xo

Let's spread some Christmas positivity ❤
(and remembered Christmas hugs thread is open for any support needed after as well as during :))

    I managed to eat well without feeling too guilty about it
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    some positives about my Christmas was spending time with both my parents and no arguing! :) also popped round and seen our old neighbour, its her first Christmas without her husband and no one should be on their own at Christmas so it brightened her day a bit. and it was the first Christmas my family didn't push me too hard, they told me to only do/eat what I could manage and that made it a better day cause I didn't have any major meltdowns :)

    Well I find Christmas a bit awkard sometimes. Since my dad half mum and half brother and Dutch grandparents and my dads puppy are in Netherlands and my mum and older brother is in England.
    Im spending in Netherlands till tommorow the only awkard thing is dinner conversation as I’m not fluent in Dutch.  It was feels very different i remember back before my parents divorced Christmas was great however because there split up. It’s always just spending it with my dads family or my mum. I don’t get why we can’t just spend together just for once a year as Christmas is supposed to be about family and friends and my older brother doesnt join for Christmas either I guess for the same reason. Thing is when we used to be younger we all enjoyed Christmas. Yeah it’s nice in the Netherlands seeing my Dutch family and getting presents. But to be honest. I’m not being very social because of this. I’m just in my bedroom and with the dog a lot of the time and occasionally playing with my half brother who is 6. Anyway the presents and food were great and so is the dog that’s the positive
