IT'S A VERY MERRY CHRIMBO

Hello my little festive friends

and Merry Christmas to you all!

I hope that these last few years have been 

supercalifragilisticexpialidotious for you (did I spell

that right? There isn't any spell check y'see)

and that you had a wonderful time

with your friends and family and got everything you

ever wanted :)

I also hope that like me you have been 

eating a box of Lindt chocolates a day average plus a decent helping of turkey and leftover xmas pud and what not

just because you can.

In the UK we're pro's at doing that, because

to almost everyone over here, Christmas is a license 

to eat and drink all those naughty little 

goods and treats and no-one

is allowed to bat an eyelid. If you do,

everyone turns on you and shoves chocolate

in your mouth to shut you up.

Here's an example:

*Man reaches over for a bottle of wine which

he proceeds to glug at an alarming rate*
Girl: what are you doing drinking all that?

Man: It's Christmas!

*Girl laughs* oh well that's alright then!

-OR-

*Girl frowns* you shouldn't be drinking all that!
*Man shoves chocolate in her mouth*

THE END.

So yeah, fun times!

In the UK we're also all completely hooked on

 the Harry Potter films, which ITV have

been showing in the run up to Christmas with

Deathly Hallows Part One being shown yesterday

much to my delight.

We all got our wands out and everything.

;)

Now moving on to my own Christmas,

which began with a trip to see Disney's Frozen in Nottingham

and another helping of some gorgeous Spanish churro's 

NOM NOM NOM.

This year I was super lucky and got my wish of getting

my own laptop, which I am truly and deeply in love

with. She hasn't got a name yet, but

she's red and she's gorgeous and amazing and

definitely desirable no 1 (that's Harry Potter rubbing of

on me right there).

I got to spend Chrimbo with my family here

in Derby (waheeyy) and luckily we haven't been affected by

the storms, just some pretty aggressive wind

that makes me certain the house is going to blow away

in time for the New Year.

Lovely Jubbly.

In my house we had the record players on and

we were singing and dancing to the vinyl records I mentioned in my last post and eating chocolates with Christmas

TV on in the background.

My contribution to Christmas this year was making

starters (a seafood extravaganza) and the amazing Christmas

crowns like the ones I made last year.

We had:

-Maria -all I want for Christmas- Carey

-Ady Baby

-Rosanna in the Highest

-Saint Tashalus (englightening the world with

great facial hair)

It's safe to say they were a runaway success.

Now I hope that you too had an amazing Christmas

and that you have an absolutely amazing New Year.

I'll see you down the gym

-I'll be the one walking on the running machine

trying hard not to sweat.
