*long post*
I had a fantastic day today. Me, my girlfriend, and pretty much my entire family spent the whole day drinking, eating, watching TV, playing board games, and generally chilling out. In all honestly, it's been one of the few days where i have lazed about and actually enjoyed doing it! Usually, if i spend the day doing nothing when i have days off, i get bored very quickly and feel like doing something, but today was not like that. I genuinely feel incredibly chilled out right now, and it feels like all my stress and pains from this year have all washed away. Maybe someone spiked me drink?
We all decided to open our presents at Midnight. It was great. It took us just over 3 hours to open them all, as there was 15 people here at the time.
Some have gone back to my dads house now. Some are still here, including my younger cousins who are still running round the house with there new presents at 5 in the Morning. Aren't kids great?
I will be going to bed in the next ten minutes, and i will be sending the kids to bed soon too. The plan for tomorow is to get everyone back from my dads over to my house, then we will spend the day together drinking/chatting/messing with gifts, while me, my dad, and my girlfriend cook the turkeys (Yes, you read right. Turkey(s)!). We will be starting to cook the turkeys at 10am or so, and it should be done around 6pm, which would be perfect. It will be the first turkey that i have cooked by myself, so i hope i don't mess it up, but my Dad will be helping and he is a fantastic cook, so it should go ok.
After tomorrow, everyone will still be staying at mine and my Dads house right up until 2nd or 3rd (somewhere around there...) so that we can spend New Years Eve together. We've not planned anything over those few days inbetween, as this time of year is meant to be spent relaxing, but we plan a few "day outs" to places to keep the kids entertained. Saying that, they should be bloody entertained with all the stuff they got this year! I have no idea where they will keep it all. Crazy.
Talking of Christmas presents, here is what i got (just to keep on-topic
).
New Logitech G25. Shifter broke on my previous one, so my girlfriend got me one as there going VERY cheap right now!
The usual stuff like clothes, money, a pair of trainers. etc.
Some music CD's and DVD's.
Chocolate! Yum.
Lot's of things for my RC buggy. I have not used it in a while, and needed these things to freshen it up. I will be getting it out again in the snow!
Lava Lamp.
Electric Shaver / Razor combo.
Multiple wash kits / Aftershave gift sets. I think there trying to tell me something...
Lot's of AutoGlym stuff.
Xbox 360 Games.
Xbox 360 Accesories.
And for my Girlfriend, i got her...
Clothes and some Lingerie. Oooo aaarrrrr.
Makeup / Perfume giftsets.
Chocolate.
Shoes.
DVD's / Music etc.
COD6 MW2 for PC.
Hair curler thingys...
Jewelry.
New phone / Phone Case / Speaker Dock / Mini Printer.
I also bought her a Lava Lamp exactly the same as the one she bought me, as i accidently saw it in the bedroom. She was confused...lol
In all seriousness, i was really considering buying her an Engagement ring. I won't start all the "She's the love of my life" blah blah crap, but she does mean alot to me. I decided not to after having a discussion about it with friends & family. We all agreed that we are both too young at the moment, and i can tell when i have discussed it with her in the past that she isn't too keen on the idea at the moment either, despite how much she loves me. It's basically the same reason we wouldn't have kids at the moment. Too young, and we need to concentrate on other things first, like our jobs and keeping up with bills.
One day though chaps. Mark my words. One day.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year all! Love you! xxx
