Happy Christmas Eve
Happy Christmas Eve | Jackie Ladbury
25 posts
?An uplifting, heart-warming Christmas story to put you in the mood for the festive season. All I want for Christmas is you or you? Eve Halligan is back in her hometown for Christmas after a whirlwind few years touring with her band, the Molotovs. A lot has changed since she left, but two things have stayed the same. One: Eve is head-over-heels in love with Lucien Malikov, the Molotovs bad boy lead singer. Two: Lucien is completely indifferent to her. Still, Eve dreams that this could be the Christmas where she convinces Lucien that theyre made for each other. But when childhood friend and local caterer Theo Wright comes back into her life bringing with him festive cupcake and sausage roll conundrums, Eve begins to question whether her Christmas dreams have been wasted on the wrong man

Happy Christmas Adam!

Confession: I don‘t like Christmas. Too much pressure, and this year has been so tough with kiddo‘s illness and surgeries, I‘m struggling and just want it all over. Maybe I worked in retail too many Christmases! But what does make me happy this time of year is getting to be a working musician. So, here is my “office” from a recent concert. Holly jolly to all y‘all!

marleed Oh ‘m glad you have a happy place within all the stress that holidays can bring. 2y
ImperfectCJ It's so great that you have the comfort and fulfillment of music during a challenging season. It can definitely be overwhelming, even without all of the stress you've been under lately, and it's important to find a respite. 2y
crazyspine Sick kids are never fun. Sorry you're going through a hard time, and I'm glad you got a break for a bit. 2y

kspenmoll So thankful you have your music to immerse yourself in with the challenging times you & your family have been experiencing. Heres to a wonderful New Year in 2023! (edited) 2y
Amiable I‘m sorry that the year has been stressful for your family. 😕 Sending virtual hugs and wishes for a healthy and peaceful 2023. 2y
ravenlee @marleed @ImperfectCJ @crazyspine @kspenmoll @Amiable thank you all for the kind thoughts. I do my best for the kiddo and the family, but every year I‘m just worn out by Christmas. This year I got there early in December - and then kiddo got a stomach virus last weekend! 🤦🏻‍♀️ But I‘m doing my best to find what joy I can. Christmas Day will be fun, I just need to get there. Love and light to you and yours! 2y
batsy I'm sorry it's been so tough. Here's to an easier year next year and to finding the little Christmassy joys in doing what you love ❤️🎄 2y
AllDebooks Wishing you and yours a peaceful Christmas and a happier 2023. I hope your kiddo has an easier time recovering. Love and best wishes to you all xxx 2y
SamAnne Hang in there! I skipped a lot of Christmas for a few reasons this year and it has been a relief. It becomes too much, esp. if work, family struggles etc are in the mix hoping you get some rest. 2y

1. I make my delicious lasagna! Sometimes I'm with people, but just Frankie and I this year.
2. Our meals tend to vary on Christmas Day.
@Kshakal @Eggs #wondrouswednesday

MommyOfTwo We give the kids a Christmas Eve box that has a book, a snack, pjs, and an ornament. Christmas meal we usually have stuffed peppers because it‘s my dads birthday and that is what he picks. 2y
Eggs Mmmmm lasagna! Love all these different Eve activities!! 2y

Dough for pecan sticky buns is rising by the fireplace (unconventional, but works. Lol), movie on, and counting down the hours until I can sit back and open my #jolabokaflodswap package. For now there is even some snow on the ground to make it feel festive. Not looking forward to the rain later washing it all away though.

Take care everyone - I know the holidays aren't always happy for everyone. 🤗

Judybskt Shoot!! I was going to do this last night but my son came home from school early and surprised me and I forgot 🤦🏼‍♀️. Can you take one more?! 3y
MaleficentBookDragon @Judybskt can you do it now? I'll open it back up. 3y
Judybskt @MaleficentBookDragon done!! Thank you so much!! 3y
Crazeedi Did you send out matches yet? 3y
melissajayne When are matches sent out? Would like to order things as soon as possible. 3y
PatriciaU @MaleficentBookDragon - I am pretty sure I signed up two (or maybe 4 - eeek!) times because the Google Form response kept going to my trash folder before I figured out what was happening. I can do the multiple entries if you need them for matches, but am happy to do just one - whatever works better for you. Sorry if I messed up the match-making. 3y
