| If I couldn't make a 2 hour flight to see my daughter and her family, I would never see them again. The plane is going whether I'm on it or not. What's wasteful about it? I got the last seat and there are no more flights. With 3 children, their partners, 6 grandchildren and all the in laws the logistics aren't easy at any time of year. Last year I was on my own for the first time ever due to cancellations and I didn't mind but the family were very upset. This year one lot can go to the IOW and another lot to IOM so that all the Grannies will see their families and everybody happy. It has nothing to do with presents which none of us need anyway and we really can't stand the commercial side of it. Christmas is an opportunity for us to see one another whilst everyone's off work but we won't be forgetting what Christmas is really about. In Ibiza it will be open house for the New Year and a few musical instruments will be enjoyed for years. We can all do Chrismas in whatever way is best for us from year to year. |
