'Tis The Season
This year, it's Rohans first Christmas so we are going all out to take as many photos and videos as possible! Ralph bought him a Star Wars advent calendar which we all know is secretly for Ralph, I've decked all the plants in the house with ornaments, even made some of my own this year and we're gathering all our close family together to join in the celebration. Not much different from everyone else's Christmas really? It's just there's a lot of firsts this year, Rohans first Christmas, First Christmas in the new flat, First proper Christmas as a family. Last Christmas I was two months pregnant and didn't really get to celebrate at all. I spent Christmas lying on the couch at my mothers house with a bucket next to me for whenever I needed to throw up, in and out of sleep as I didn't get much at night for being in pain and of course vomiting. I couldn't sit or stand without feeling sick or being so. So that meant no socializing, no Christmas food except boiled potatoes which seemed to be the only thing I could keep down.

This year I get to eat all the food I couldn't last year, I get to drink wine when everyone goes to toast, I get to enjoy unwrapping presents with my little boy and watch him play with everything but the actual present! This year is different. This year is my first true Christmas as me.
