Christmas Booty
Well for me Christmas ended when I had to go to work yesterday and sit in the call centre waiting for people to call. I am taking in more books and a jumper. It was so cold! At least it’s still a public holiday, so I’ll be sitting again on my butt waiting for those calls. I don’t have any work to do as I finished it all last week. YAY. I was unable to shift swap at work so will need to have a late dinner with friends tomorrow night, so I’ll have to email them today to start getting it organised.
OK now to get to the meat of the post.
What did people get for Christmas?
I got 2 blue pots for plants, from my sister. Very nice.
I got her a vacuum cleaner and 4 candystriped Maxwell and William Mugs.
Mum and dad got me a leather travel document holder, a money belt and a travelling book light for those nights I’ll be reading in the dark.
I got mum a 10 Tenors CD, and dad a portable camera tripod.
I got X 30 DVD-R’s for him to do some burning
My mum’s nextdoor neighbour got me some chocolate.. mmm
So not a huge amount, but then my parents did help me get set up again after I moved out of home and got me a fridge and washing machine.
The point for me this Christmas was spending it with my sister and parents. Lunch would have been nice, except mum cooked pork *gag* which I had 1 slice. I had about 4 slices of ham. No chicken or turkey this year. Dad wants to get out of the habit due to birdflu scare and too many hormones in chicken these days. A little paranoid yes, but also he hates turkey as it’s too dry.
I might pick up some turkey if there’s any on Friday and make a turkey curry. I got a few christmas cards this year, one unexpected one and the rest were just as nice. New Years I won’t be celebrating due to needing to work on New Years Day. Can’t wait for that one.

you’ve probably already read about my quite dissapointing christmas presents.
i’ve decided that there should be a christmas gift registry, that would solve all my problems.
oh and sorry to hear you had to work, though it would have been better than my christmas which was hanging round with the rellies and pretending to fall asleep so you didn’t have to talk to them.
