Roll on Christmas 2007...?
So, Christmas is over for another year. Well, it'll be over soon anyway. I have finished the last of the mulled wine, made sure that I can no longer fit anymore food into my body, lusted over David Tennant in Doctor Who and Richard Armitage in The Vicar of Dibley and escaped to my room. One of my favourite things about Christmas Day is getting to choose which of my new books I want to start in the evening.
All in all, it's been a rather excellent Christmas Day. I was worried that I wasn't feeling as Christmassy as usual, but that all passed and I've had a very enjoyable time. I always forget how much fun my family is, particularly when fuelled by booze and sugar (or just a lot of the latter in my brother's case). We spent much of the afternoon playing a game called 'Balderdash'. I lost quite spectacularly, mainly because my brain was just feeling a bit befuddled. In my mind, P.D.R.A. really does stand for Paupers and Down-and-outs with Rabies Association...
I think the best bit about today was getting some lovely presents, cards and Christmas texts. I know I've said this before, and I'm not meaning to sound at all soppy, but it's so easy sometimes to take the people who care for you for granted. By that I mean the people who really care, not those who you want to care or who just seem more "important".
I usually feel a bit down once Christmas Day is nearly over. This year is no exception, although I think it might be due to the fact that alcohol tends to lower my mood anyway at the moment, plus I was so excited about having fresh croissants for breakfast that I forgot my drugs! I wouldn't say I'm feeling sad, just a little contemplative. It's strange to think how much has changed since last Christmas. But hey, I'll save all that for New Year...!
I hope that everyone has had a suitably festive and enjoyable day. :o)
