In Ireland they don't celebrate on Christmas Eve...
... yet I got to open my presents. Jon had already given me a lovely "Household planner" (basically a calendar with stickers saying like "Doctor", "Birthday", "Holiday", "Important Date" and forget-me-nots and a pen), and tonight I got a very nice frame as well. Now we just have to take a picture of the two of us and print it and it will be perfect.
I was surprised by Joan, Jon's mother. Last year already she had gotten me presents for Christmas and my birthday. But today she gave me even more presents than usual... which resulted into a funny scene as Jon was given one single present while she piled boxes on my knees XD Well, in fact, there were only three boxes, but to me it looked huge. I got a sort of nice thread to be attached to my glasses so that they won't fall down or get lost any more (I have to insist : I do not lose my glasses, they get lost by themselves). I got a purple jumper (and just the right purple, my favourite colour) and a set of body fragrance and washing stuff which is very nice and with a French name XD I really didn't expect to get all that... I know Joan likes me but here she is really spoiling me... Jon tells me she feels that I am the daughter she never had... and this honestly touch me. Great, I'm crying now XD
So that was Christmas Eve for me. But since I haven't posted for so long I guess I should give you a little update XD
-> I arrived well in Ireland last Friday. The plane was an hour and a half late, but well. We spent most of Jon's birthday travelling from Dublin to his place, but it was cool anyway. Last year when we were in Dublin actually he had told me how he had always wanted a pocket watch, so that was his birthday present, which he really enjoyed - well, it isn't a proper pocket watch, I merely got it in a manga shop, but it works and doesn't look too bad, and Jon loves it so that's what matters the most.
-> Funnily enough - mainly because I didn't think that was possible - Jon is becoming sweeter and sweeter with me. I mean, always cuddling or kissing me on the forehead or on the cheek in a very cute way and showing that he cares with all these little ways that fill me with happiness. I can never express fully how much I love him.
-> Yesterday we've seen Avatar, not in 3D unfortunately, but it was still very interesting visually, and the very simple and predictable plot didn't keep me from enjoying it.
-> Another extremely enjoyable thing : Doctor Who's special episode Waters of Mars, which truly surprised me. And in less than 18 hours I am going to see the first part of the End of Time episode..... can't wait !
And I think that's it. Mainly. Well I could say a few things about school and exams and lazy teachers, but I'm too happy to talk about annoying things right now.
Once again, Merry Christmas everyone !
