This year, at 23 years old, is going to be my first year not spending Christmas at my mum’s house. I am working on Boxing Day, public transport isn’t available, and there would be no way to get home in time for my shift.
So this year, I’m going to be having a bittersweet Christmas with my nephew, his mum, and her family, whilst no doubt video calling my mum, step-dad, and younger siblings.
Even though I don’t get to spend it with my usual family, I still get to spend it with other family, surrounded by love and festivities, and for that I am so grateful.
