I have unveiled this year’s Christmas surprise for my family. We will be off the sofas and spending three days at a Luxury Health Spa. No turkey will be spinning on my fist this year as I try and stuff it. Oh no.
Responses were mixed. My youngest daughter screeched with laughter ”A Festive Fat Farm!”
My middle daughter started to bang the buttons on her mobile phone and I heard her begging someone for a full body wax appointment at dawn on Christmas Eve.
My husband is very happy to go and has declared he will have any and every treatment on offer – but he refuses to remove any clothes. He wouldn’t even roll up his trousers to show a fully qualified physiotherapist his knee at a recent appointment, so his water based Thassalotherapy session on Boxing Day should be interesting.
Daughter three says she is happy to go to a Spa as long as no one touches her, and my son is very anxious that there will be three square meals and sufficient christmas cake provided.
I have started packing and so far have chocolate, books, moisturiser and a towel turban for my hair in my suitcase. There is no what to wear dilemma as I will be in a fluffy white towelling robe for the duration and have a singing Christmas tree brooch to accessorise it and bring it right into the season. And I have trimmed my flip flops with tinsel.
That sounds AMAZING! And I’m sure that not having a turkey spinning on your fist this year will be an instant improvement … I’ve heard of Christmas entertainment, but that’s taking things too far. Can’t you do card tricks?
I’m looking forward to the reviews and feedback already. I assume the Luxury Health Spa has had the sense to make you sign all sorts of gagging contracts so you can’t name them. They haven’t?! He he he!!
Fran, card tricks ? I’ve done one with a credit card already to pay for my Christmas beano !
Sophie,hello there. If they treat me and mine very well they have nothing to be scared of…….

So long as you have a supply of champagne, nuts and other Christmas goodies you’lll be fine. I love the idea of tinsel on your flip flops. you can just sit and stare into space saying “looks like rein deer” to the others. That’s the only Christmas joke I know and it’s bad.
What a fabulous idea!!
