Who does or doesn't celebrate Christmas? We don't have any children of our own so it's always been a bit of an odd time of year. Used to buy loads of stuff for nephews and friends children but they are all too old now.
Wife loves baking so she turns into a shortbread factory for December. Our fridge is full of butter and she's already made loads of the stuff. Baking fruit cakes today as she was too late for Christmas cake baking this year with other stuff going on.

I know the feeling. No kids. Nephews and nieces all have families of their own - and are all at least 500 miles away. Most of our local friends will be tied up with their families; so it's just the two of us - and the four dogs. Currently my wife is rather unwell. So Christmas will be quiet. Good food, leave the TV off, a good book in front of a log fire and maybe, just maybe, a rather special single malt 🎅 🥃🥃🥃:)

We're childless as well but are still lucky enough to have some young nieces and nephews. We're very generous with them a) because we love them but b) because we'll have to rely on them to take care of us in our old age!
