A week into 2023 already?

I together with my family have recovered from covid in the first week of 2023. Worth to memorize. We were in panic of being infected on Christmas.

I did some organizing this week.

I took down the decorations yesterday, after we celebrated the Epiphany the 6th of January. We had very quiet holidays at home and this year very little food.

And people are talking about Valentine’s Day already lolll

I have less than 3 more weeks left for holiday. Once that is over, it will be run run run again until December 2023.

Im looking forward to make my goals in life . I still like to chat here in mylot and to my online chatmates .

Your Christmas sounds lovely. Ours was also quiet. For a good few years now, I have insisted on having Christmas dinner at home. I'm happy to cook it. Other people are welcome to pop round (not that anyone ever does). Otherwise, it's me, my husband, and either one or both of my sons. This time, it was just 3 of us on Christmas Day. My other son did visit is on Boxing Day, though. We would usually visit other family at some point during the Christmas/New Year period but between my work and various family illnesses, that sadly wasn't to be this time. I'm sure we'll catch up with everyone soon. You say you were cold at 27C. We'd had high average temperatures for much of the year but December did not follow suit! I think the average was around 3C. We have friends in Canada who experienced lows of -40C. I can't imagine that. 27 would be comfortable for me! I haven't really achieved anything yet this year but I am about to embark on a management course. More importantly, though, we have some birthdays to celebrate. My husband and I are going to visit my eldest son for his birthday this coming weekend. It will be lovely to see my son. It will also be the first time my husband and I have had a weekend away together since our honeymoon in 2019.

we also had a quiet Christmas and new years this year ,

My Christmas and New Year was not too special this year. Just chilled at home. Here too took down the decors on Jan 6. First week of Jan was pretty chilled out. Not done anything much. But now have to start working hard and work towards the goals that I want to achieve this year.

Although, it's already March, as I reply to this post, I guess I can say that Christmas and New Year were great because we have some family get together. Our decors are also taken down and everything is back to "normal". The weather is also still cold here with some rainy days. Holy week is fast approaching and I dread the high temperatures during summer.

It was a nice Christmas with all the food and gifts anyone can dream of. I had a quiet New Year celebration at home and wished for better days on this new year. The days have developed as expected

Ugh they year has flown by.

Time flies.. we always say that.. Before we know it, it'll be 2024..

@merrybelle2021 We had a nice Hannuka. We are Jewish here. Nothing has been accomplished so far since 2023 started.

We were having a holiday last December, but unfortunately, we could only stay at the hotel since hard rain didn't stop to pour. I am planning to paint my wall this earlyJanuary but then.. It is only a plan

We had a nice Christmas/New Years. We visited my daughter's home, children were sitting around opening small gifts. We had a very nice family dinner, ham and many other side dishes. For dessert, pumpkin and pecan pie. I never tried the Christmas cookies, not even one. We came home the same day, I was happy about this. I don't do well in crowds, for very long.
