Christmas Day 2013

Well that's it, Christmas is over for another year and what a fabulous time I've had enjoying the break with friends and family. Lucky for me I'm still not back at work for another week so there's plenty more gorging on food and drink to be done for a few more days and then let the healthy resolutions begin.

Christmas Eve was spent eating Chinese and drinking martini's with my friend and we woke by her son Christmas Day morning bright and early at 6am resulting in my turning up on my parents doorstep at 8am where dad made me a nice cuppa. The early start meant mum and I were able to get all the presents organised for my niece and nephew and I was even sitting there following a shower and full face of make up when they arrived - that's been unheard of the past couple of years.

My niece and nephew frantically tore into their presents, as did I but sadly my SIL was missed as she was unwell all over Christmas. Once they had moved on to my brothers in-laws mum, dad and I moved on to my aunts house to visit family there and enjoy a few glasses of bubbly before returning home for a nice meal together.

Armed with leftovers I returned home for a turkey and stuffing sandwich on the sofa whilst watching Downton Abbey, which I thought was really boring, anyone else think that? I was quite disappointed. Boxing Day was round 2 with the family at my presents and mum cooked the most delicious Gordon Ramsay Pulled Pork recipe whilst the children all danced around to One Direction - not me of course.

The days since I've been pottering at home decluttering and organising cupboards as is my way after Christmas. I love finding new homes for my presents and throwing out the old and as you can see I did rather well and the obligatory 'what I got for Christmas post' will be up later in the week.

Don't forget to tell me about your Christmas in your comments and what fun you've had.
