A Christmas Tree

-


 

Christmas is coming. Normally we are not at home during Christmas holidays. This year is very different. We have to stay at home.

I am a Christmas person. I like trees, Christmas market, lights, ginger breads and other stuffs very much.  But I never had a tree at home. I always said  I would buy a Christmas tree when we have a child. I often heard it is too much work to have a Christmas tree. Parents are so stressed during Christmas times. I feel so bad because I couldn’t experience that. But we are not so much different. I think we could also have a nice Christmas holday, with husband, friends... And, also singel person could enjoy Christmas, just listen music, read books or have some nice food. 

I am going to buy a tree this year. I want to have it for me and my husband. We will also bake cake and cookies like people with kids. I do not want to be different......

    Dear TingTing,
    Yes, this year is different for all of us. In general Christmas can be very hard for the childless not by choice, because it centers so much around children and family. But you are right: of course we can have a beautiful Christmas, too! It is all about reclaiming this holiday and finding out what we like about this season even if we don't have kids. I also baked cookies this year :-). And my tradition between Christmas and New Year's Eve has always been to read a lot, eat chocolates and go for walks in nature. This is still feasible this year, at least in my country :-).
    Much love!

    PS: I love that you are buying a Christmas tree this year! That is excellent. You are worthy of having a Christmas tree as well <3.

    I love this whole post! I'm glad you are getting a tree. We have an artificial tree that we've had since 1989! I love my tree, and the decorations for it. I get a lot of pleasure from it. And I do from the food (I've been baking today), music, etc. And we also get peace and quiet, which is nice. I hope you have a lovely Christmas.

Why this blog?

  To be honest I do not know.  English is not my mother tongue. I just want to write down what I am feeling. Why online? Because, except  my husband, I do not want to talk with any one abut my story of 4  unsuccessful  IVF cycles. - I do not want to have any mercy from my friends. Yes, I am a CNBC, but it does not mean my life is less happier than theirs. Yes, it is different, but it is not bad. - I do not let my friends thinking what/how they want to talk with me about their pregnancy or children. I do not hate friends with kids. I love to see their kid photos and go to their parties. Only one thing I do like when they complain about their chaotic days with kids. They do not know how happy they are. I always think I must be able to organize days better.   - I do not want to be given any „nice“ but „painful“ or better to say „know nothing about, just ideas from friends“ suggestions, like „you can try that, try this….“ „you can go to other countries, it is more easier, the successful ra

My Aunt called

-
My aunt called me today. We had a very nice video talk. I also got the picture of her grandchild. He is cute. After our call, she sent me a message. She does not want others to know (my cousins could hear us.). She would like to take me to a medical treatment. So I could get pregnant. That made me to remember a very funny thing many years ago. She bought me some „magical soups“ to loose weight ,when I was a little girl. I was really fat, about 70 kg. I told her about my 4 unsuccessful IVF. She is the first one in my family who knows my sad story. I do not know if my husband told some one. But she is the first one I told.  She wrote me she cried. She felt guilty that she was so concentrated on her family. She did not have time for me. She think I am very brave to do IVF alone. I think she mean no one in the family could support me. She is very proud of me. I never thought I need some one from the family. Why?  Because I do not want they worry about me. I always want they are proud of me
