squeefulfishEeeee Christmas! I gorged myself on stuffings and roast potatoes, played a singalong game on the wii with the kids cos you're less likely to break hips when just singing, had one mince pie, watched Toy Story 3 (cried, cried lots, you bastards for not warning me I'd cry) after spending ages removing the security tag and did some more knitting (help) with Emma curled up on my lap wanting to know what I'm knitting. It's probably going to be a top for her, but daren't say anything until I'm absolutely certain I've enough yarn to finish it. And indeed, that I'll actually finish it anyway.
Emma had a Hello Kitty themed present day, Niamh a Twilight/Glee one, Martha's best present was college related (book about care plans and mental health) but she also seemed happy enough with Good Omens and American Gods. I reckon as presents from the godmother go, you can do worse than those two. It's been a fairly meagre year, in terms of money spent, don't mean we're not happy though. Only one argument, regarding privacy and 10 year olds. I think that it's perfectly reasonable to password protect things, other family disagree wanting to know why anyone would "want to hide anything from your mum." While I can sorta see their point, in my mind 10 is not too young to be looking for some privacy in communication. Am getting better at ignoring the eye daggers.
Oh yes, and after dinner I walked away from the kitchen and left everyone else to do the dishes. Best. Present. To. Myself. Ever.
Little sitting room is free so I might just nab it now for a bit of me and movie time. With maybe just a sliver of pudding and brandy butter. I've never had brandy butter before, this could be interesting.
Happy Christmas, y'all!
