Christmas. Family. Love. Snow. Scary movies.
The older Im getting the more excited I get about the festivities. Christmas, New years, Easter, Birthdays... no stopping there... Halloween, Mothers Day etc. Wait Im ACTUALLY not that bad. So to the point. 2010 Christmas was my first away from mom and dad, lauries too. Its a weird thought not to be spending christmas at home with the same traditions you've had for the last 19 years with the same people for the last 19 years (plus a few families namely the O'Sullivans, Robbs and Malherbies after a while). It isnt the same but hey this year was a good one non the less. London over christmas is everything you imagine it to be. Houses covered in lights, over priced items in the malls, snow and mulled wine. Its cool. Its just like you see on tv shows.
Laurie and I went to the winter wonderland carnival thingamajig. It was standard but rad... the ground was covered in snow, it was freezing. We drank mulled wine and Laurie went on some rides. I went on one. and one was enough for me. It was something like the gnariesty free fall mission then straight back up and then drop you again scary shit ever. Please excuse my language but the more scared (and drunk) I get the worse my language gets. And this ride scared the living shit out of me. But other than that London is full of excitement and there is a buzz in the air building up to the special day.
For the 25th Laurie, Kyle, Grandmother and I all went to our Aunt and Uncles beautiful house out in Silverthorn, in the country I think. The house was filled with family, friends and cats. It was decorated just like an American Sitcom, but more classy. A big fat christmas tree, snow covering the ground, giant Deers eating stuff on the ground, everyone wearing Cosby Christmas jumpers and the smell of fine dine!
What more could you ask for?
We spent christmas day unwrapping presents, eating good food and watching horror movies. It was a good day. A good day indeed!
