Working xmas eve was not fun. I was an idiot and woke up an hour early for work (5:30) without even realising it until it was too late so that did not do my mentality any good. I had also been dreaming about Currys and I'm sure that cannot be good for me...
Work went pretty fast though, thank God. It was busy almost all day but I still did not have the time not patience for quips about getting mistletoe from Yvette's husband and the fact he was going to chase me out the back. Why oh why do I attract the weirdos...
After work I had a game of Resi 5 with Alex, we tried to do some professional but I was epically failing. I was tired and Resi was just stressing out even more. I felt like crying. In fact I did cry afterwards. Not because I lost or anything but because I was so very tired. I'd had about 5 hours sleep and was fed up with work. It's xmas eve. I want to relax. I didn't even feel Christmasy. I feel it less and less every year I swear. I wish I didn't. I really don't know why I feel like this. But, however I may feel, I still love Christmas.
At least I got a decent nights sleep last night but I still feel knackered and I haven't done much today! My sister woke us all up at 9am so I got up, grabbed my stocking which was lying in the hallway as always next to Chester (a big soft toy polar bear) and went into my mum and dads room. In typical tradition we sat and unwrapped the presents in the stockings together. I think one of my favourite little gifts was another voodoo keyring doll to go to my collection, a little vampire. Very cool. My sister got a handmade sackboy made by my mum! It's so cute I shall have to post a comparison picture at some point!
So we went downstairs, my dad walked the dog and Sami made me and mum tea and we all waited in our PJs for dad to return. When he did the gifts were assorted into little piles. I had three presents which were some earrings with smiley faces on from my sister, a bottle of Baileys from mum and dad and a really pretty, sexy set of underwear from my mum. Gifts I really was not expecting but very nice indeed. My sister got a pink DS lite so I knew I was going to get a big present too, my dad made hints...well I say hints but he basically said when he was driving me home from uni "You're going to LOVE your xmas presents!". So when it came round to opening my gift my dad went upstairs and got down a huge box. I'm not even kidding it was fucking massive! I had no idea what it could be it was the size of a huge TV or something! Well...I opened it and it was something I would have never expected. A gaming chair! It's epic! It has speakers just where you put your head and it is SO comfy (which is why my mum wanted to get me a chair of some kind). You can plug it straight into the PS3 and the sound comes out of the chairs speakers. It's got great bass and it really immerses you in the game, so much so it kinda blocks out any other background noise haha! You can also plug an MP3 player in and just lie back (and rock) on the leather chair and relax. I heart it! But I am slightly afraid the boys at uni will be stealing it all the time! Hehe.
After all the gifts being given out we had some toast to eat and all got washed and dressed before my nan and grandad came round for lunch. My dad wanted me to show him Fallout 3 and we had a couple of fights on Tekken 6 which was good fun. When my grandparents came round it was nice because I hadn't seen them for three months and they asked me all about uni. Xmas lunch was yummy as usual and we had all the trimmings, though I pass on sproats. When we were full we went and sat and watched some TV. Happy Feet was on which I'd never seen and that was quite a good film though I didn't get to see the end. Nan and grandad left and were left to watch Doctor who and the like. Doctor who was a bit mad but good I thought. I mean, how can I not love it?! I still don't want Tennnant to leave though. Ahh well.
So now I'm sat here, very tired but content. Although I really, really do not want to work tomorrow. I'm so tired, need more sleep! I hope I get another day off soon. I cannot take much more and tomorrow will be dreadful because it will be so busy and everyone will be complaining and returning stuff "You ruined my kids xmas etc..." Sigh.
