This is gunna be the best Christmas ever, if things go to plan that is. XD
Christmas Eve, Graham and I both have the day off. Which is awesome. He's always had to work Christmas Eve, but not this year. Graham and I are going out to lunch with a few people on Saturday. We're gunna go to The Moon Under Water, which is basically a gastro-pub. Kay and Maccie are going to be joining us! I invited Theo from work, but I haven't heard from him yet. XD I've never hung out with Theo before so I don't know what to expect.
Oh! Also, after we're done stuffing our faces we're going to The Giffard. They're supposed to be doing some kinda festive thing.
I'm also gunna pop into Waterstones because I got this AWESOME book of skull art from there, and they currently have a section dedicated to geeky shit. Most of it being steampunk. There's a book called Steampunk Softies, basically showing you how to make little steampunk style plushies. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMG!!!
I've been looking for another way to express myself since drawing has gone kapoot so I'm gunna take up knitting/sewing and such. XD
I see all these pages on Facebook where people are selling knitted hats and such and they are literally having to put all orders on hold cuz they can't make them fast enough. So I think I might do that.
Also since I've pretty much cut all ties with Grahams family, it means I can stay in my pajamas on Christmas day. I can cook a friggen turkey! YES I GOT A TURKEY! Omg it's gunna be fantastic. No yelling, no screaming, no rotten children, no rotten adults, no jerks trying to force alcohol on me then being weird when I refuse, no having to go outside to have a cigarette, no horridly dry turkey, cold sprouts, and gravy that tastes of nothing, no crap movies, no horrible drunken singing.
It's just gunna be me, and Graham. Awesome food, awesome movies, awesome presents.
Here's what our spread is gunna be like.
Turkey crown
Sausage stuffing balls
Sprouts with bacon and herbs
Roasted potatoes with garlic and herbs
Mashed potatoes
Roasted parsnips and carrots
I'm not gunna be making the gravy myself because I really like the instant stuff honestly. XD I suppose I could put some fresh herbs in it and some of the turkey juices and call it home made. XD
I don't know what we're gunna do for desert, Graham loves Christmas Cake, so I might pick up one of those make it yourself kits tomorrow. We shall see! The house is gunna be overflowing with mince pies anyway. :)
