This morning we got up early and headed out to the markets with one goal...
To do my Christmas shopping.
I got a fair few things and didn't spend as much money as i thought.
Most of my gifts are novelty or jokes, but its the thought that counts... Right?
This is my first year where i have no been living with my parents at Christmas time.
Most years I've woken up, excited to spend the day with my family. Presents are opened and we have a massive lunch. Its a really good time to spend with my family.
Last year my parents went away and i chose to spend Christmas with my partners family. It was the first time id experienced Christmas with anyone but my own family. Luckily they welcomed me and treated me like i was one of theirs. I still laugh, now that we have broken up that i am in all his families photos from that year- Ooops!
This year, I'm brings Fez with me as her family lives away and she has no plans.
We are going to make some food things to take with us- how grown up.
We will probably head over to my parents late morning-noon, do the family thing and come home for a quiet evening as Fez has to work boxing day.
What traditions do you have in your family?
When i lived down the coast as a child, i used to help my Granny make a fruit punch every year, now that we live away, i continue to make it every year. My mum sent me a text saying she has brought all the ingredients for me to prepare... The fruit punch is something i think i will pass down to my own family when i have one. I have very fond childhood memories of it.
We also do the Christmas crackers and sit around in paper hats telling shitty jokes.
Its lame, but i love it.
Ive asked for house stuff again, id love to upgrade some of my things.
I feel I'm pretty easy to buy for- What about you guys?
I hope you all enjoy the festivities x
Totally unrelated photo lol.
