My Christmas Day ;-
Woken up at 9am by an excited 3 year old.
Open Blinds, see snow that was not there at 6am when I fell asleep, a knowing smile embraces my face as I remember it is Christmas day.
Make way to Bathroom, Splash cold water on face, style "bed hair" into something more photo friendly.
Back to bedroom, put pants on, gather thoughts.
Make my way downstairs, drink a couple of glasses of orange juice, make tea.
Embrace family, exchange gifts and niceties, marvel at how 3 year old niece takes it all in her stride.
Eat bacon and tomato sandwiches, check e-mail, watch festive Friends episodes on TV.
Retreat to bed to drink tea, watch 8 simple rules marathon on abc1 'till 1pm (inc. last 3 episodes that Paul Ritter filmed before his untimely passing), fall asleep.
Wake at 3pm after having *the* most bizarre dream involving my favourite beach + 3 killer whales + a girl in a bikini, brush teeth~shower, get dressed and spruced up ready for dinner.
Enjoy full traditional christmas dinner with all the trimmings* (*I hate that word), pull crackers and exchange more niceties with family, start drinking.
Continue drinking, surfing on wifi laptop, almost fall asleep again.
Continue drinking, watch festive TV with family, almost fall asleep again (can you see a pattern emerging here?)
Continue drinking, listen to emo music, surf the internet for no reason.
and I'm still up at this hour, amazing.
