Christmas over for another year...
It's shocking that's it's all over so quickly given the huge build-up that seems to start earlier every year. By the end October we seem to be subjected to a barrage of hype and instructions to buy the latest this and that. It was actually quite blissful to be to broke to even contemplate getting caught up in all that festive panic - I just got to wander around on Christmas Eve with a bemused expression, watching all around me desperately searching for that last minute, perfect gift.
Next year I'm going to make my pressies (someone remind me I said that) and, rather than fight the crowds in the high street, I'm going to buy lots of red wine and spend my evenings curled up somewhere warm, being creative.
If the thruth be told, I was a little worried about the prospect of Xmas this year and of being a bit of a Billy; after being away from Bristol for so long and not really being that organized. Should have known better - had a fantastic time. Thanks guys!
