I love christmas.....once the shopping is done that is. We always have xmas at our house and have a rather large family. So last year xmas was exactly 14 days after my first round of chemo (I had myself absolutely convinced I was going to wake up bald christmas morning even though I went to bed with a full head of hair and was using the cooling cap LOL)
I decided to ignore cancer for christmas and pretend it wasn't happening.
I did everything exactly the way I always do. Got up early to stuff the turkey, bake, prepare salads etc. I love doing the table decorations and probably went way over the top with centrepieces, tinsel, lights and candles but too bad. I put a "No cancer talk" rule in place. Put on a nice outfit, some sparkly stillettos and glittery santa hat.
I had a fantastic day with great food (and probably too many wines) family and friends. Laughed our asses off playing "Cards against Humanity" and just forgot about everything else for a while.
Can't wait to do it again this year!
