After a very hectic December...with no less than 3 trips to Sweden, both for work & otherwise, it was time to board the plane back home to Glasgow for Christmas. I would like to say that it's been relaxing so far...but that's not strictly true! Seeing as how I was the most disorganised I'd ever been this year in terms of present-buying, I had to sort that out in the last days before Christmas...which was fine, albeit a bit mad with all the people rushing around last-minute. Anyway, I managed and we enjoyed a very chilled Christmas day, with our relatives from down south. Mum made an exquisite Christmas dinner; turkey and all the trimmings! The food all throughout the festive time has been outstanding, I must say. Completely yummy!!
Santa was very good to us all too. Personally, I got a new pair of glasses; a refreshing change after 5 years of the same frames! amongst other things like perfume, a massage, makeup and clothes etc :) Mum and dad both got new mobile phones (yes, I'm ashamed to say that they're not Nokia and are therefore quite clumsy to use...) and it was so entertaining to watch them try to work them out, call each other from 2 metres away, and forget all the tips I gave them in about 2 minutes! Other presents included the itouch ipod, very snazzy indeed!
Sadly we haven't had a white Christmas so in that sense it hasn't really felt all that like Christmas and it was all over so quickly. We're all just trying to get our heads around which day of the week it is and what we're gonna do for Hogmanay (New Year's Eve in Scotland). No plans as yet. I always find it a bit of an anti-climax anyway. It's too much hassle really to go out or you have to plan way in advance if you want tickets for the street festivals etc...so in the name of disorganisation, I haven't done any of the above! Watch this space...
Typically enough, I'm now loaded with the cold and feeling pretty miserable, which sucks because I can't fully enjoy the time with my cousins & family. We have been shopping and for a ncie curry but I couldn't really do it justice...tomorrow we will be celebrating an important milestone of one of our relatives and I just hope to be well for that...otherwise it's not much fun! There will be folk there who I haven't seen in ages and I have to look gorgeous!!
