Christmas unravelled...

[deannawol]

So, it's the day after Xmas and it's time for the Xmas fights.  Today we fought about politicians, health insurance, the neckline on my clothing and my use of language.  One of our visitors is gone and I have my bed to myself again.  I hate sharing.  Yes, incredibly selfish, I know. 

But the plus side of Xmas is my mum's cooking.  My mum has singlehandedly fed the neighbourhood when it comes to pies.  She is the best cook I know, and excels at baking.  Mince pies, apple tartlets, buns, cheesecake...  All gorgeous.  And enough for about 20 people.  Fantastic.

And some good news, as well, it looks like I may escape food poisoning this year.  My aunt (the one who always gives me food poisoning every New Years Day) might still be in Belfast!  Woo Hoo! 

I grew up with the adage of "What you do on New Years Day, you do for the whole year!"  Basically any problems you bring into the year will follow you around, so make your peace before the year starts and bury the hatchets before midnight rings in.  It's hard to do... but worth it. :)

You're 25, which is too old to be told to share a bed with a relative!

Yeah, but I think I'm still about 12 to my parents! *grin*

I'm seeing Maeritrae and Alarielle tomorrow afternoon and will be giving them a prezzie for you. Don't forget to ask them about it ;) Wish you could have been here. Have fun.
And I wouldn't enjoy sharing my bedroom either. Privacy is so underestimated sometimes. I do love the whole making your peace before the New Year part, I think it's indeed worth it.

*hugs* Holidays are weird. I'm glad you are getting through them decently. I think this post secret sums up my feelings about them...

Just in case you haven't seen my latest post. I got your card today and Mae's. Met up with her this evening and gave her the envelope. ^_^ And I miss you too hon. I'll try to be online more this year.
