Well that's Christmas officially over and done with! I hope you all had a good day of eating and drinking for too much, and getting given loads of presents and general happiness and high spirits and all that lovely stuff that happens at Christmas.
These are just my top 5 happy things about this Christmas:
1) How unconventional us Tooles are. We do everything about 5 hours later than everyone else on Christmas, and only have about one tradition compared to the millions a lot of people have. Ours is having this really ugly candle alight at dinner, which my dad had been lighting on Christmas day 'before he married my mother'.
2) How thoughtful my friends are... I'm not gonna pretend I needed a mug with Audrey Hepburn as a cat on the front, that I'm going to watch the Shining or The Princess Bride more than once in my life, or that a Panda shaped hand warmer is the most essential thing in my life, but those presents are the ones that made me smile the most. Oh, how I love you guys.
3) Mince pies.
4) How amazing Les Miserables is. It made me cry, which is really rare - a live performance making someone cry. From the moment the curtain was raised I has goosebumps. It's such an incredible show because of how captivating it is. The setting is so remarkably clever that you barley notice a scene change, mainly because the actual stage rotates. It was fab.
5) The realisation that I do actually get on pretty well with my family.
Well it's time for New Year now isn't it... Cannot. Wait.
