Be aware that at this time of year, many of us will be more vulnerable and more insecure than usual. Let’s face it, all the Christmas movies are based around two people resisting then finding love for each other, or family Christmasses with a Mum, a Dad and however many children. The pressure to have a ‘happy family Christmas’ is huge.

This year the children and I will find ways of doing Christmas differently, we will invite in new little rituals and celebrations that connect us and keep our hearts full, even when we’re not together.
