Hey guys!!!
Well it is about 5:30 on a Monday morning; I've had 6 hours worth of sleep so its all good, plus I got thinking about home and Christmas that I couldn't go back to sleep!!! Right now I am listening to a selection of Christmas songs and well I'm in a pretty happy and content mood; I'm on my pyjamas, its warm, i'm not tired and I know I only have 2 and a half week before I go home and I've got so much to look forward to!
First off there is seeing my friends from good old Portishead and spending loads of time with them which does mean lots of drinking and laughs and stuff! I cannot wait though I have no idea what to get my BFF for xmas this year... she loves Spongebob, candles, plants etc; I have an idea what to do but it depents if I can actually get my lazy ass into gear or not!!!
Second of all and joint top with friends is family; being a uni student has finally taken its toll on me and I am officially homesick (it has involved a few tears recently) but now I have booked my train tickets home and I am counting down the days until I see them all; particularly my dog Bobby; he is like a little brother to me and has been through so much and has always been there for me and listens to me and gosh I miss the little bugger so much (not the getting up at 6am to let him out bit though.) I have even brought him an xmas gift; chocolates (proper dog ones) and a blanket for his basket though he does sleep in my mother's room for the most part, and I'm trying to convince my sister to let him come down to her house for xmas day but we shall see!
Third of all I cannot wait to come home and decorate the frontroom and kitchen!!! This is my fav part of xmas, not the actual decorating but the thought of coming home with the fire on and the tree is aglow and my pink glittery elephant fairy is at the top, and the stickers are in the window and I'm watching a movie or reading a book or listening to the music constantly on the music channels!!!
This year will be a very strang christmas indeed; normally about 21 of us get together and have a massive celebration; last year involved a haunted house which ended up with me sleeping in the actual haunted room which i didnt mind, after all a large double bed all to myself? I think it is worth it!
So this year I am going to my sister's house for xmas day! Which is her first xmas there and the way she decorated for Halloween well I expect great things when I return!
Xmas eve is most unusual too (well not unusual at the amount of time I spend there) but am going to my 'second family' for a visit, and there will be lots of drink; so a nice quiet xmas day might be appropriate to be fair :).
Boxing day most of the members of the family will be gathered at my aunts house; so this will be unusual.
At some point I will obviously seeing my father and his fiance and we are going to visit my Nan who I havent seen properly for about 3 years (divorce and other factors play a part here). So you keeping count so far? About what 4 or 5 Xmas dinners so far!!!! I'm gonna be fat after the holidays so im gonna have to take up yoga and something else as the weather warms up! Now im considering baseball cause i havent heard back from the kickboxing people! Something active to get me out of the house; got to be careful though cause the timetable is changing next term where one week I have lectures every single day...what a drag I have to say; but least it will get me off my butt and do something productive, plus the other weeks I have the same amount of time off so no big deal!
Then of course there is New Years; which I have decided to throw the towel in and get completely thrashed (though I am still sticking to my no sick from alcohol rule!) and just partay like mad!
And we are going to pay a little visit to Bristol at some point over the holidays; clubbing in my own backyard; thats something I haven't done well since my 18th; but I've been out a few times here and I have to say though it isnt my fav thing to do (pubs and little house parties are my thing you see) I dont mind! Long as I'm with good compant thats all that matters!
So yea 3 and a half weeks of no work, family, friends, alcohol and so much more!!! I am soooooo excited I want the last few weeks to zoom by (though not too quickly as I have a presentation which needs sorting out!)
I have to get up in 2 hours; I have to eat something, get dressed, got to Asda for a doughnut or something, send some stuff home before it snows on Wednesday to which its gonna be bad for about 2 weeks; my goodness snow around Bristol at Christmas?! that is a shocker. Normally it is either after, randonly at April or some other time. I'm kind of hoping the weather is going back to how it was in the 80's; 'propa' winters and summers; not too bad this year and not to bad an Autumn. I cant believe how quick this year has gone but its like I always say to everyone when New Years is over; 'Soon be Christmas again!' To which everyone rolls their eyes and groan but you have to admit time is just zooming by so quickly now-a-days its scary!!!
2 more days to go, well less than that actually and we can start our advent calenders!!! Cool beans!!!!!
I dont know what else to sa except to pre-warn my 'readers' I dont know whether I will have internet or not over the holidays; we havent for about 6 months now; no surprise really me and my Ma are quite lazy!!!
This week is the week to get all my xmas shopping done and I have made a list of what I am getting everyone so it should be a snap apart from my secret santa; he's only little but I dont want to get him toys that he doesnt need and stuff, a nice scarf or something would be more useful or something like that!!!
And with so much going on I need to buy myself some nice tops or long dresses to wear at some point over xmas, xmas day I have sorted; its really new years I need to sort out!!!
Anyways I suspect I shall be writing on here before I go home!!!!
