My two Christmases at home... and boy have they been good.
Yesterday I spent the day with my mom's family. It was so good to see my cousin's baby daughter. She's only five and a half months old but she's growing up so fast, and she's absolutely gorgeous. She's at the stage where she smiles whenever I make a funny noise, which is quite a lot.
Then on the night was my house warming party. Was it the best party we've had or the worst? For very different reasons. Even though there was a lot of drunkeness and crying it was still a good night. Well I got something I've wanted for quite a while anyway.
Then today has been the best Christmas ever. In all honesty if it was a real Christmas day (then obviously I couldn't have gone shopping but other than that) then I would have loved to spend it the way I did. We finally have a sofa in the flat, so this afternoon was spend snuggled up with 'someone' watching Pirates of the Carribean.
Tonight, I've been at my nan's house for my Uncle's birthday and my Christmas. It's been such a brilliant night with all the family together, it hasn't been like that at Christmas for a long long time, but it's finally back the way it should be. Everyone's spent the night laughing together about 'how it used to be'. And I'm old enough now to appriciate that Christmas isn't just about receiving presents, because I do take so much joy out of giving someone a present. However, I can't explain how great the present off my dad is.
Thank you.
To everyone I've spent time with over the last few days, thank you for being there, the way you always are.

Christmas isn't a season it's a feeling.
