Christmas Day
Thursday, December 25th, 2008 11:42 pmWell, that was quite fun. Except for my uncle spreading his rotten germs (I'm not going to his house tomorrow, and neither will anyone else if they have any sense). I had some lovely presents including:
The presents I got for other people were well-received, too - the pawprint pyjamas, the DVDs, the books, the jewellery, the giant chocolate bars, the flavoured olive oil.
A fair bit of TV-watching was done, too. ( Cut for anything vaguely spoilery (Doctor Who, Wallace & Gromit, The Royle Family, Blackadder) )
Christmas food was of course yum, Christmas lunch is always fabulous - my mother's specialty is roasted root vegetables, and we always cook the stuffing in shallow dishes so you get yummy crunchy bits and soft sweet tender bits. I'd bought a bottle of champagne, too, and that was very nice indeed, I had two glasses with lunch. And we remembered everything for the evening buffet (cheese, coleslaw, potato salad, dips, breadsticks all present & correct alongside the usual cold meat and salad) so plenty of yummy leftovers for Boxing Day.
- Julie Walters' autobiography
- Band From TV CD/DVD
- Stephen Fry In America - Book and DVD
- Space photos book and calendar
- Space shuttle pen
- NASA Space Shuttle charm bracelet
- Die-cast model of Space Shuttle Discovery
- Perfume, scented soaps & bubblebath
- Jellybeans & chocolates
