Most people usually fall in the category of having a lousy Christmas or a good Christmas. For once, as far as things go, this was a good Christmas. Regardless of the typical solemn and depressing Christmas Eve (for some reason it's the time for Christmas arguments in my family!) I dragged myself out of bed the next day at midday dreading the falsely cheerful meeting of the extended family and getting presents that just scream 'I got this at my local garage station', but it turned out to be a good day! I was surprised to find that my family were genuinely civil and I actually got on with my Uncle without having to hang my head in pure embarrassment. Dinner was goood and so was the Christmas TV!
New Years was similarly good. To prevent the warlock having a mental breakdown that none of the family are there fore New Years, I stayed in and was pleasantly surprised that we joined as a family to play a game of Cluedo. Even more so was spectating my brother finally tasting alcohol for the first time in his 25 years and he didn't just stop at a taste. Before I knew it I was clawing for some ear plugs and regaled in him accusing everyone else to be drunk. Of course him winning two games in a row went straight to his head and buoyed his enjoyment in alcohol. I can tell he'll be hitting the Barcardi Breezer's more frequently.
So this Christmas, for once, has been a good one. I think the only criticism I have is that with so much free time I've stepped back into my teens and started playing computer games - well who can resist the allure of Steams fantastic sales! They're pretty much a giveaway! Looks like I will be kept occupied for a long time then...
