Merry Christmas to you too @Snoo @Shaz51and @CherryBomb
I'm looking forward to resting, and having some time off with my loved. It's not often that I have time off work and as a consequence, life always feel busy. So... thanks to tonight's conversation, I'm adjusting my expectations, and going to do less, and not expect my partner to do more. 
HiBeHappy I'm adjusting my expectations, and going to do less, and not expect my partner to do more. ( ME TOO )
That's a wrap for tonight! It was a productive and intimate conversation tonight thanks to @Shaz51 @Snoo and @BeHappy. You all offered some wonderful insights.
Christmas time doesn't need to be stressful nor does it need to be lavish and grand. With a bit of planning, and open communication, hopefully it is a time of year that you can sail through, and possibly even find some joy in.
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope that you have a much earned break, and that you get to enjoy some time with your loved one.
Wishing you all a peaceful festive season.
