29 Dec 2007 Christmas 2007 Aftermath
Can you believe it? I sneezed and missed most of it.
The weekend before Christmas Day I spent with my friend and I took the time to spend some quality time with her... and I helped her out with sorting out her Christmas preparations to the sounds of Christmas music and movies into the wee, wee,
wee hours of the night. It's wasn't as bad as it sound, she did help me get closer into the Christmas Spirit than I've been in quite some time.
Too bad I picked up a cold somewhere along the way.
So by the time I got to my mums house for the family get together I was progressively getting more and more exhausted. Fortunately is didn't really matter this year.
Normally my mum's clan get together for the usual Christmas rituals. But this year they were scattered all over the place, even as far as Thailand, so it ended up being simply my mum and step-dad for Christmas Day. After the presents and dinner I felt so shattered that I went to bed at around 8:00pm. Fortunately I sweated out most of the cold in the night (quite literally) and was well enough to visit my brother on the Isle Of Wright on Boxing Day. More Christmas rituals on his end, came back the next day, caught up with some friends in Portsmouth (including the gorgeous geek girl
Mitu), and discovered the true joy of
Doom the Board game! Seriously, if you haven't played it yet, do yourself a favour and try it. Bottles of red wine is optional.
After rounding up with a short visit to my dad up in London and that wraps things up for Christmas 2007. All is left to look forward to this year is New Years Eve.
Oh before I forget. This year I took a fun gamble and took part in
Skeddy's Secret Santa event. I sent mine off to my victim and I hope he enjoys it. As for me:
Thank you Secret Santa, where ever you are. ^_^
