Christmas time

IT'S CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISTMAS
As the song goes...

So yes, I am home for Christmas now. I've been home less then 48 hours. I miss my friends. I tend to find home is pretty boring. I don't really have much to do here. I basically go to Church. And mooch round Tesco with mum and dad. That's usually my week.
Yesterday though, I decked the house for Christmas. I got all the decorations out and put them out and I did the tree. I'm surprised that it turned out alright. Usually its a 3 man team (me, mum and David) only David is still at uni and mum was at work, so it was a 1 man team this year. But it's turned out pretty good as usual. Draped in tinsel and beads and baubles and our little Christmas tree decs.
We've also done something we don't usually do. We've put presents under the tree already! We don't usually do this cause we have our pet dog. Only, she isn't around anymore, so they are under the tree. It's kinda nice to see a few under it.It's a start.

On Sunday I went to one of the carol services that my church at home does. Carols, mince pies and mulled wine. Lovely. Then tonight I am babysitting while my parents are out. Then on Thursday I am out for a social night with my church group. Among other things that day, hairdressers, doctors. It's one busy day.

My brother comes home at the weekend too. So it'll be nice to see him again. See how he has found the year. He's been home a few times this term, which I guess is pretty normal for the first year. But I've only seen him once for a few hours. So it'll be good. Hopefully there won't be too much tension or anything.

So with Christmas only a week to go. I'm starting to feel Christmassy. Even if I am sat writing this in a t-shirt.
