@Birdofparadise8 there will be my mum, brother, aunt and uncle. All of my cousins are married and have kids, my brother and I are the only ones who are single. My aunt can be quite judgemental and likes to compare her "beautiful and intelligent" daughters in law to me and I never measure up no matter my achievements. My cousins are all really well off so I'll get to hear all about the expensive gifts my aunt and uncle got while my present under $100 for my mum will get a "oh that's nice" comment.
I'm probably being over sensitive at the moment, this time last year I still had my best friend and Godchildren and it was exciting to talk about what we'd be doing, what presents we were getting for the kids etc.
I'm a bundle of tears so I'm trying to stay off the forums so as not to upset other people.
Your Christmas plans sounds great. I'd love to visit Tasmania one day. My paternal grandfather and his family were Tasmanian but I've never met any of them. All the photos I've seen of Tassie look spectacular!
