Yes it will be different this year ~ my daughter, her husband and my grandson are going overseas so it will be just my son and I
She came yesterday and we celebrated an early Christmas and her brother's birthday which was lovely

We're in very much the same position, but the last couple of years I had the tree (in the garage) up once or twice. My kids (adult students) r with me, and we don't realy hand out presents, it is just the being together, relaxing and recovering from a hectic year, as always.
