merry christmas!

so it's pretty much over for another year. it's amazing how much build up there is for just one day. the pressure of finding the perfect presents for everyone, all the food that needs to be cooked, decorations, parties, traveling... and then in in a span of 36 hours, its over.

and this christmas, i haven't really been home. i am doing that dog-sitting thing, which is fantastic because i am getting a little break from my family, but at the same time, i miss my house at christmas. there are no decorations here or yummy cookies being baked or my brothers or my dog. just the weird dog and scary paintings on the wall. so it's starting to get a little lonely. 4 more days.

last night i stayed at home though. and i slept like a baby. i miss my bed. and my brothers and i played board games. i can't remember the last time i played a board game, let alone with my brothers. we played trivial persuit 90's, clue, sorry and half a game of monopoly. that game is way too long. i can't stand it but it's my youngest brother's favourite so we had to. and i forced trivial persuit and clue on everyone.

my parents loved the gift my bros and i got them. a duvet. they didn't have one. so everyone was right. i wasn't sure how it would go over but i was assured by all that it would be fantastic. and i got my boots! yea!! and a really nice gift from one of my friends. who wasn't supposed to buy me a gift because i wasn't buying gifts for any friends. i told her not to and she did anyway. but i love it. thank you again.

boxing day we usually head to new glasgow to visit my family - grandmothers and various aunts, uncles and cousins. but it's looking right now like tomorrow is gonna be somewhat messy weatherwise so i don't know if we'll go or not. have to wait and see. i'd like to go, but honestly, a nice sleep in would be beautiful. i haven't slept in in over a week. i'm tired from working all last week and then going out on thursday and saturday nights and always having to get up early for one reason or another. although...i can honestly say that thursday and saturday nights were worth it. thursday for shameless, and saturday for other reasons. there were some awesome people out on saturday night.
