Your first Blissmas, parents are taking over...
Over Christmas you might be spending time with relations or others you don't particularly want to. In the words of Take That "have a little patience". Think about the smile you’re putting on their face by having time with the wonderful you. .. or the fact they might feel the same about you and would rather be elsewhere!
In today's Sun newspaper I've written a piece about your first "Kissmas" together as a couple - you might think it's going to be total Blissmas (okay, enough wordplay on Christmas) but there are seasonal hurdles to watch out for.
My weekly blog’s gone live today on iVillage.co.uk. I tackle a woman's dilemma who fears her parents-in-law are going to take over Xmas and kill off the sexual intimacy between her and her husband for two weeks - and they're trying for a baby.
There are always ways around these things - if this is your situation check out my advice to her.
Still trying to get over the Kings of Leon gig being cancelled last night – boo! But at least the hubby and I decided to have a quiet dinner on our own – wow, what a change to have some time by ourselves.
TODAY’S THOUGHT: if you can carve out some couple-time - do it. The thing about Christmas is your nearest and dearest get overlooked in the rush to get everything done. Isn't that the reverse of how it should be??
Shouldn't the people who mean most to you in the world come first?
Ha ha, evidently stress can improve your memory says a report out today - then I guess all of us must be memory geniuses at this time of year. I wouldn't survive without my lists (gift list, food list, event list, etc.) so I don't think stress helps my memory.
Stick some Rumer on today if stress is getting to you... her tunes will destress you. Take care, Pamx
