Merry Christmas to you too, Daan. Very happy that you have the support system still there. You are quite blessed.

What a great family your brother has to continue to welcome you. They sound great. Glad you are still able to keep this relationship even if it's a bit different now. I like the advice about not emphasizing that someone will be alone for Christmas. I have a friend (in another state) who is alone and he's usually upset about it. I never quite know what to say. I, on the other hand, have a husband, friend and family and many times long to be alone on the holidays! It gets too hectic running around, having people expecting you here or there when you just want to stay home and relax. Anyway, good video!

Merry Christmas Daan! Thanks for sharing and glad to hear you're still having positive, loving relationships with your new brother and the family ❤ hope his leg gets better soon. :)

Merry Christmas Daan. It's really lovely that your ex and his family still want you to remain a big part of their lives, it really is wonderful. Wise words regarding Christmas, there's so much pressure these days placed on it. This year I've dialled it right down, we had our adult child and partner over for a long breakfast, they left at midday to visit her partner's relatives. It's now just the three of us, husband sleeping because he's come down with flu over the last two hours. Adult son with mental health needs is hiding away in his room as per usual and so I am here on youtube. It is what it is, I feel completely at ease with this quiet time. I'm not making a big meal, keeping it simple. The key is I think acceptance, this is how it is, and contentment can be found in simply just being, whether reading by the fire or taking a walk. x

You are very fortunate to have good understanding people in your life. Im very happy for you. They love you for who you are.

Sounds like you are navigating the changes very well. I’m glad you are not losing friends and family just to be yourself.

Merry Christmas to you!

Merry Christmas, Daan! May you have all the joy, and only the best of shenanigans.

Hey guy, thank you for sharing, and no easy thing to talk about... ❤ It's great on one hand that you still have your boyfriend's and his family's unconditional love, but then on the other if it were me I would also see it as somewhat a slap in the face. At the end of the day you are still you irrespective. I would imagine that blow was/is quite a lot to process and adjust to... ❤

Merry Christmas.

What a lovely and serenely heart-warming message. My best to you and to your friend-brother-soulmate in the hospital.

Merry Christmas, Daan.
