I don't know where my Christmas cheer was this year, I just wasn't really feeling it. The most Christmasy I was, was probably today singing Christmas songs at work.
I was one of the mad people dashing around the shops on Christmas eve. I was surprised to see so many women out, I thought I would be surrounded by panicked looking men, turns out us girls weren't as organised this year. Ha who am I kidding?! I always leave my shopping until Christmas eve. I did make a record breaking time of completing my shopping and got all of my presents in an hour and a half though!
Annoyingly with presents people expect them to be wrapped. I can't stand wrapping, so I persuaded a couple of people to wrap up Scarletts prezzies, I'm not that mean to her. My friends and family had to unwrap their presents from plastic bags they were bought in.
On Christmas day once we had opened stockings and a couple of big presents we thought it would be nice to go for a walk....
Scarlett was carried for most of it but then she ran off onto a wooden part of the beach, I ran to grab her and slipped, did the splits, fell on my butt, legs in the air and caught Scarlett with my arm, taking her down with me. Well, she was less than impressed and after a brief cry, refused to talk to me the whole way home. Oops. She was glad to get away from me and go to her Dad's!
Maybe that is why I wasn't feeling it because children make Christmas and without them, it's just another day with an extra large lunch. Or maybe I wasn't feeling it because I had too much lunch and was feeling a bit sick!
Well thank goodness it's over for another year (bah humbug.) Can't complain too much, I did get some wicked things in the Boxing day sales. Roll on next year!
