and that's another christmas over ...
Dec. 25th, 2008 09:21 pmWell I've been home for a few hours now.
Christmas this year was pretty good! spent it at my aunty's.
Mum got up quite early this morning to put the turkey on; bless her; while the rest of us were still tucked up in our little cots, Lol!
I got up about 9, had breakfast, got ready, and we all left about 10.15 with poor hot stuffed turkey on board.
We indulged in all kinds of yummy nibblies on our arrival, then, we enjoyed the main meal of turkey (with the apricott stuffing), chicken, lamb and roast vegetables.
We then went in lounge to unwrap the presents! I did quite well this year with my usual money, chocolate and clothes. I also got a handbag which I needed; a bigger one than my current one which is falling apart anyway! -- Mum and dad also bought me the FM transmitter I picked up a couple of months ago! -- still haven't figured out how to work it, so must remember to take it out to rye so dad can maybe take a look at it.
After presents, we had disert, of which there was a large variety as usual.
i recorded the whole thing minus the last ten mins or so, with my olympus. it worked out so well, but unfortunately the batteries ran out at the very end. I had been recording other stuff with it, so I should have changed batteries over but ah well; I got the main thing!
Fun day was had by all. and, I always say it, but I can't believve it's another year gone.
Oh, dad wore the arab gear, and it sure got a laugh! -- he also did it and got a similar reaction when he went out with family friends on Sunday.
J will be coming over tomorrow for our boxing day traditional visit. Shall be great!
I will probably be spending New year's eve down at Rye with parents and J, P and hopefully the cousins if they can get time off work. so glad I will be actually doing something this year; not that I didn't have the opportunity last year, but, probably as explained in here at the time, it was sooo hot, I decided to pike, and I didn't like it much. Spending new year's by one's self is just totally not good for me!
til next time, RdFreak
