Ho ho ho!
Merry Yesterday! I'm alive! Woo!
Doctor Who awesome. Doctor's embarrassing crush on Astrid incredibly apparent. YAY OMG DONNA'S COMING BACK.
Wrote a very short book of christmas poetry using House of Lords pencils and tiny notebook Grandma gave me. Will post shortly.
Presents from me:
Dad: The Young Ones on DVD, The tribes of Britain - a book about history of British people - and book called Great Lies to Tell Small Kids by the guy who did the Bunny Suicides.
Mum: The Mighty Boosh S1-2 on DVD, a bag charm and v. pretty earrings from Accessorize and a car air-fresher with a picture of Jesus playing guitar and the legend Jesus Rocks.*
Sam: An Ozzy Osbourne poster, a Dark Funeral CD with amusingly satanic song titles, The Last King of Scotland, a book about Metallica and an action figure of Bilbo Baggins Transfixed because it made me laugh in Woolworths.
Lilly: Dead Like Me S1 box set, Here Lies Arthur by Phillip Reeve, bright pink earmuffs and a collection of magnetic frogs (in-joke).
Emma: a v. pretty wind chime from Camden market.
Hannah: A necklace and a bracelet and a little jewelery box from Evolution, all fair-trade and hand made.
Ben: Glow in the dark stars to stick all over his room.
Tom: A robot clock. Silver, with crocodile clips for hands. AWESOME.
Will: Two flashing, rotating eyeballs and a box of sharks' teeth.
Adam: Light-up bath toys (adorable little plastic whales)
Grandma: A glass hanging charm with the motto May Angels Watch Over You which made her cry.
Maha: Fake edible cigarettes with amusing warning labels, and a copy of Singing in the Rain.
Natasha: Funky wellington boots and a BIG HUG.
Presents for me:
Natasha: A robot dinosaur! AWESOME!
Maha: Awesomely lovely slipper socks and body lotion.
Mum and Dad: A bright pink DVD player for my new flat, a Johnny Depp poster and Doctor Who S3 - the Master Hologram Boxset!
'Father Christmas': Many things, notably The Life Aquatic, books of poetry, new pyjamas (shocker!), new pants (shocker!), gloves and a hat (shocker!) and lots of chocolate (shocker!)
Sam: Paramore album called Riot, exciting as I've never heard of them :D
Lilly: A wall-hanging she made herself, with all my favourite things written on it! Wowee :D
Grandma: A Doctor Who board game which LIGHTS UP and ROTATES and has a TARDIS which VWORPS OMG and some books about grammar.
Nanny and Grandad: Twenty pounds and a handbag with make up and tights.
Sarah and Malc: New colouring pencils and pastels and a posh sketchbook.
Imelda and Tony: Ten pounds (in a plain brown envelope with no card or anything, not even sealed...)
Elane: Diesel perfume. (Never ever been given real perfume before. V. exciting.)
Mark and Chloe: Edward Monkton desk calendar :D
Emma: Chocolate Lindt reindeer and two eyeshadows.
Great Auntie Ann and Great Uncle John: A tin of Quality Street between the three of us...
Great Great Auntie Gertie: Surprisingly nice hand-knitted scarf and set of lavender soaps.
Christmas Tree presents (a family tradition of small presents given to children after the main festivities, put together by Grandma): Posh House of Lords pencils, two notebooks, shower gel and earrings.
Uhhh... there's a couple more sets of Aunts'n'Uncles I'm not expecting anything from, one I'm seeing later today and hopefully getting a little something from...
At least my input matched my output this year :D (see last year...)
*Considering the very strong smell of the air freshener, it's been renamed Jesus Reeks.**
**Amusingly, completely non-blasphemous! My mother is a vicar :P
