The mask thing is difficult at a sociable time like xmas. There feels like there's even more pressure than usual to be happy and full of cheer! Hope you both get to recoup the energy soon, and are being as nice to yourselves as possible.

A flashing xmas tree hat sounds both wonderful and disturbing. I've been remarkably non-xmassy this year. It's my first one down in London and has been a little weird (poor Joel has the stomach bug from hell and i ended up feeling v lonely and bleughh). His family are great tho, and Joel was well enough to sit and watch some TV with me by the evening (which was actually really nice). It kinda randomly hit on some buried feelings tho, cus i spent most of the evening crying (very weird).. think it harks back to feeling lonely when someone's around (have some history in that dept). Fortunately things were better in the morning (what do you know - cliches are right sometimes) and i managed to explain some of the teariness to joel. Thankfully he's really understanding.

I've been working in between boxing day and new years (at actual work on thursday and friday, then doing some independant stuff over the weekend). Am back at work tommorow, then partying for new years (hopefully).

I'm all snotty and a little bleugh, but i'm having a decent time of it. It's nice cus joel's not massively xmassy so i don't have to put on a xmas smile at all. YAY!

Am thinking of you all. I hope that xmas has been survivable and that you're all well.

Hugs, love and smiles to you all
