I have always love Christmas, growing up in lovely hot and sunny South Africa it was a time for lots of pool parties and getting together with friends and family. Seeing Father Christmas all dressed up in a red suit - despite the heat.
Then we moved the the UK and all of a sudden Christmas was in the middle of winter, cold, grey and wet. But the up side was we now had J, and Christmas with kids is great.
Fast forward to last Christmas when on Boxing Day Dave decided that he no longer wanted to be with me and left to live with another women. Now this year I am torn, part of me wants to celebrate like we have before and part of me just wants to pretend it isn't happening.
I decided to do Shimelles Journal your Christmas http://www.shimelle.com/classes/389/journal-your-christmas/ as a focus on both the good times in the past and the future. Will be good to look back in a few years and see how we cope with our !st Chtistmason our own. Maybe starting some new traditions with just J and I. Already decided to do a gingerbread ouse instead of a christmas cake - will post photos once it is done.

I hope making the journal adds a very special dimension to your & J Christmas - maybe you could make some bits of it together and start a new very special tradition of your own. Looking forward to sharing this class with you and hope to see you on the boards.
