.. For another year; I keep saying that at the end of each christmas day, I know! But i just got back from Aunty Julie's, and had one of my best christmas celebrations; A few of them have been up there; some aren't as good, more so because I can still be even shy around the family, but this year I wasn't. And my Aunty Mich (not who's house it was) spoke to me a bit this time which is certainly different from the other years; maybe Nan said something; i dunno.
Anyway as I speak I'm saving the 2009 christmas recording which I did on the olympus. We did things a bit different this year, but I spose I should go from the start.
I had planned to bus it over to the parentals last night, but it started raining, so being the wimp that I am, I called and nicely asked Dad what he was doing; so he picked me up. Ang and T came for dinner, and dad made pizzas, complete with his own base; they were sooo nice; we got to choose the toppings! I had most of the standard but chillies which i stay away from.
We had a nice night; we had chocolate after that, and i went up to play on my Acer and stuff around online a little bit; and I did watch some of the anual carrols before going to bed in my old room. Joy of course stayed in my old room with me.
This morning Mum got up early to put the turkey on; this year, she thought she'd try some turkey rolls stuffed with the shop's stuffing; it did go down well, but I think Mum had decided to go back to the traditional way next year.
A and T came over and we all unwrapped the presents from each other before we left for Julie's. I did quite well just from them. I got various chocolate and bubblegum from Ang and T, chocolate from mum and dad, as well as a 500 gig USB drive from Dubai, a casserole dish (it was heavy, so it must be a good one), a rice cooker and some sharp knives (as I'd said the other day I was in need of them as all my current knives were blunt and made it hard to chop things. Apparently Mum was quite reluctant to give them to me though cos of how sharp they were.)
Then when turkey was ready, Heartly and Ruby were left behind (I felt bad) and we drove over to Julie's! As said, it was a great day! Lunch was great, consisting of vegetables, lamb, chicken and turkey with stuffing. Then we randomly popped the bonbons (which will be heard in the recording) and as happens every year, took turns at reading the corney jokes within, but not as much emphasis was placed on that this year, as Aunty Julie, who's usually the most liveliest was concentrating on her first little eight-month old grandson Ike.
After dinner, we just chilled and then hopped into the sweets; so nice! there was choc-ripple cake, chocolate covered strawberries and cherries, chocolate moose (white and dark), various slices and a few other things.
Then the kids unwrapped their presents as we decided on that this year plus a Chris-Kringle with the adults that never ended up happening. I did ended up getting some extra money and lint chocolate though; mmm!
Then we spoke some more and that was that.
Providing the file doesn't go over the limit my audioblog account can handle, i shall upload it in a friends only post.
I am minding Heartly tomorrow while parents go out again for the day, and also J will be here as per our usual boxing day tradition.
Good times!
Til Next Time, RdFreak
