    As a little side noticing - I love how Amaury’s mum just lovingly rubs the underside of her husbands arm as they jokes about his present wrapping competency as she walks away 🥰 loving relationship goals right there! 💕

    I caught that too. They seem so in love. I would love for Stephanie to do interviews with them. I’d love to know Tatyinette’s (?) childhood memories of she & Mummy. Is Amaury an only child ❓ How far away do they live❓ Is Amaury stay permanent❓

    Am in the same boat! Am truly sorry you are going through this as a family, and at this time of the year. Cannot believe that it would happen. We have had all vaccines, but now my husband and I are isolated at home. We though do not have the children at home as we are in our early 70's. But do believe 'all of us' will have a nice Christmas regardless! We are going to get through this ordeal however we can, and we can be thankful, that we are with someone we love. Thank goodness this awful time of not feeling very well will pass. Be well soon!

    @@lauralaladarling3775 I always thought it was a waist of time and effort after my children had grown to do a Christmas decorating anything. My mother on the other hand who is in her 80’s still goes all out. I never understood the need to do much but being a single mom of 4 it was one more thing I just didn’t see the need or the reason for spending money on stuff. I did do as best as I could for the kids when they was little but now I am finding the reason to do it for me. 2022 will be a much better year looking forward to Swedish death cleaning (it isn’t as bad as that sounds) making room for new things and better enjoyment of home and family
