Christmas Time!

One more week at work until I have from the 22nd December to the 1st January off! And what happens between those days? CHRISTMAS! Okay I don't usually get excited for Christmas till Christmas eve, but this year I'm really looking forward to it. I suppose it's a time to spend with family with all the lovely decorations up, which makes it feel so cosy!

I love my house around Christmas time because of the decorations we have. Yes, some of them may be corny or very old, but they make my house feel very warm and cosy. Also I love coming in from the cold because it's usually nice and warm. Sinking into the warm sofa with a cup of hot chocolate and watching Coronation Street, sounds like a good thing to come home to after work.

I do love winter. But... During summer I miss winter and during winter I miss summer! I do prefer the cold and love the atmosphere around Christmas time, but winter goes on waaaaay too long!

I have almost finished my Christmas shopping and am excited to see certain people open their presents. Plus I am excited to see what Dan has got me haha. He was very mean before when we went Christmas shopping, I asked him whether he had any luck in finding me anything... His answer... "I don't know". I then asked him whether he had brought me anything that day... "I don't know". Haha he wasn't going to give anything away! He gave in the other day and told me that he actually did get me something :) Bless him teasing me! Can't wait to see him open his presents. Hehe!

Another thing that I can't wait for is the Christmas dinner. My parents make an amazing Christmas dinner and every year I look forward to it! My grandparents (my mum's parents) come over on Christmas day and we spend the day together. I really enjoy it when the family is together for Christmas day. I also usually see my best friend on Christmas day for a little bit to exchange presents! I can't wait to see Kim, she is coming home tomorrow! We have decided that over Christmas we are going to have a sleepover full of Monty Python films, strawberries and chocolate! Will be amazing! I'm looking forward to it!

Oh and i'm feeling a lot better now after my cold has gone and I am back at work! I have the work Christmas party on Tuesday which should be amazing! I cannot wait to wear my new dress and to just socialise with my work friends. Dan is of course invited as well which will be great! The last work party we had was a BBQ at the bosses house and for most of the day Dan, Rob (work mate) and I played badminton and table tennis which was so fun, but felt very achy the next day. Oh, because I am writing a blog now... I might as well say... Happy 21st Birthday to Rob on the 20th December! 

Monday (the day before the Christmas party) work has treated the women to a spray tan and a manicure. I am very excited for the manicure and I have grown my nails especially for it! The spray tan i'm a bit 50/50 because I have never had one before and don't want to come out ORANGE! It will be a new experience and hopefully *fingers crossed* I won't come out orange!

Right that is it for this week so hopefully you will all hear from me closer to Christmas day. If you don't hear from me before Christmas day then have a very Merry Christmas!

By the way, I now have a gallery so all the photos from this blog will be in there. PLUS: some photos I couldn't fit on this blog will be in the gallery!

Thanks for reading!
