2024 marks the first Christmas as a family of three for our household. With a five-month-old finding all of the lights and events endlessly entertaining we have tried to fill his first Christmas with family and activities for everyone to enjoy.
Filling our weekends with trips to supporting local businesses at Christmas markets, purchasing homemade decorations and enjoying the odd mulled wine and going on the trail of light tour at our local zoo we have filled the first Christmas with family moments that we will be sure to treasure.
Christmas isn’t just about preparation at home. As per tradition, the company is going through our weeklong Secret Santa, with the final gifts given and the last chance to guess later today. Sporting our finest Christmas jumpers, we will be bringing festive cheer to the office. At the time of writing this, it shouldn’t be the case that the most prepared I have been is for the work Secret Santa, with the fate of several gifts still in the hands of the Royal Mail. But the “will they or won’t they make it” hanging over the last weeks is a tradition I can’t seem to go without.
So with the promise of more time with family and friends, more food consumed than considered anywhere near acceptable and even the odd winter beer festival on the horizon, there is a lot to be thankful for this Christmas.
