Christmas Day

[Photo to follow soon - I left my Christmas pictures at home]

Saturday 25th December 2010

Christmas Day today! It was a really lovely day. Quiet, just my mum and dad, my sister, my mum's mother and me. We opened some presents - I got new boots, underwear, (500) Days of Summer dvd, money from Granny and Uncle, all of Sergei Lukyanenko's Night Watch trilogy (that is actually four books... go figure!) and lots of other lovely stuff!

We'd left a few presents back at home as we couldn't bring everything to Granny's. I got my sister some silicon cupcake cases and a strap so she can wear her iPod around her arm when she's at the gym. My sister and I got Granny a gluten-free baking book and a £10 book voucher.

Christmas dinner was lovely and, typically, very very filling. We also kicked off the drinking early with Bucks Fizz (champagne and orange juice) at around 11am. Chilled out in the afternoon and watched the traditional tv: Queen's Speech at 3pm and then the Dr. Who Christmas Special which is always good. There's also Strictly Come Dancing and other fun treats.

A really nice Christmas.

Quote of the Day
Has to be some Dr. Who/Matt Smith quotes from the Christmas special:

"Ah! Yes! Blimey, sorry! Christmas Eve on a rooftop, I saw a chimney... my whole brain just went "What the hell"!"

"Father Christmas, Santa Claus, or, as I've always known him, Jeff."

"Ah! Big, flashy, lighty thing, that's what brought me here. Big, flashy, lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually, but give me time. And a crayon."
- The Doctor (2010)
