Hi @Bubbles3

Being short of money at any time isn't in no way good - but at Christmas - aw no - really hard 

Yes - I had two children - I worked at times when they were young but usually I wanted to be around for them - it's hard work being a stay-at-home mother - 

My daughter lives not far from me - she has a large family all of whom have left home now - they have a lovely home

I'm getting on in years - I've had a lot of Christmases in my life - I missed not having family around so Christmas Day at one of my grandson's places will be great
