A bit late in reading this thread, but ...
Enjoy Christmas in Scotland Cherry , and have a safe journey there and back
Hoping you and family will all enjoy your time together grindle
Our garden bin collection ended in November seaburn and will resume in March. Maybe I will have put some stuff in it by then if we get favourable weather.
I've put some decorations up this year - for the first time since B died I have felt like doing it. I haven't got a tree though.
As for traditions there are none now, but in my childhood days my dad's mother always came for Christmas Day.
Boxing Day was my mother's birthday so we went to her parents then, and it was like another Christmas Day because that was when we exchanged gifts with them (Santa had always left something there for me
)
Boxing Day was also my grandparents' wedding anniversary, and although they never spoke of it I think a lot of the celebrating they did was because of that, as well as my mother's birthday.
My mother used to say although they never spoke of their anniversary, they used her birthday as an excuse for celebrating it
In Beryl's days when her mother was alive, we went to her brother's house on Christmas afternoon, and to my parents on Boxing Day for my mother's birthday.
About your linen cupboard, I can't answer your question, but personally I find it impossible to be organised. You must be left-brained
