We all will, Chalk :love: But it's still natural to mourn the end of a life as it was before. We are also mourning a loss this Christmas and I'm still mourning one from the last and in little ways even, one from before it, as if it amplifies the importance of such a time... so recalling that life is precious and to treasure every moment we have until we don't have it. One day it'll be us and we will leave someone around to remember :love: But that's the quality of things like Christmas and cherishing such holidays/get togethers... we got here somehow, so we will inevitably go too somehow someday... but until then let's just have a Merry Christmas :love:

It's 1.44 am as I start to write my Advent Calendar entry and I'm wide awake. Went to bed at 9pm as the TV schedule was appalling. Let's start with a couple of my all time favourite Christmas songs, from the wonderful Girls Aloud and the amazing Kylie.






Next, here's a Christmas poem narrated on YouTube that I found, it's very good. Please listen to it in its entirety, the ending is sweet.



And here's my message.....written from the heart.

Merry Christmas Tibbfolk. It has not been a year in which I've exactly covered myself in Glory. For those who don't know, I developed a gambling addiction which included stealing money from my boyfriend to my eternal shame. I also considered cheating with an ex, but thankfully his morals were stronger than mine and nothing happened. I was at a very low ebb. My relationship disintegrated to the point that my boyfriend asked me to move out, but with time he forgave me, for which I will be eternally grateful as hell. Words can't express it.

Anyway, I confided in Tibb and I'm humbled by the supportive responses I got, only a couple of people were negative which is of course their prerogative. No word of a lie, it was all of you that got me through it, and I had some pretty dark days. I thank you all collectively from the bottom of my heart.

Good things about 2023 now. I have lost 2 dress sizes, am eating much more healthily, have quit alcohol almost entirely, just the occasional tipple. I met Tibbs lovely Vanessa in November, we spent a couple of days in Blackpool and had a great time. A good experience. I hope to repeat it next year, this time in the Spring or Summer.

Tibb is such a great community, I don't know what I'd do without you all. Quick namecheck thank you to James for taking it over and ensuring its survival, with much appreciation.

I'll now hand over to our lovely Zizu, who is ready to post us all some more Christmas songs to enjoy.

Merry Christmas. I love you all.

Thanks Cherie.

It's been a very good thread to read through I think.

Oh and Merry Christmas to you and your family too, Cherie.

…if we didn’t have the worse times then we wouldn’t appreciate the happier ones…and the good thing about those worse times is that they’re behind you, Kate…I wish you many, many happy moments and smiles for 2024 and I wish you a beautiful Christmas…and thank you for arranging such an uplifting advent time filled with so many heartfelt moments…Merry Christmas to you and to all …:love:…

Fantastic message, Kate. I look forward to going to Blackpool when it's not freezing cold :joker:
Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Kate, I love your honesty, keep strong and think of the positives. x

Thank you so much ladies. You've all always been such a valued source of love and support. :love:

Quoting this. It took me ages and hardly anyone has seen it. :bawling:

They’re probably drunk under the Christmas tree ..
