Obligatory Christmas post
Dec. 27th, 2018 04:30 pmI think I'm about as caught up on my dreamwidth reading as I'm going to get. I was up to something like skip 80! If I have missed anything you think I need to know about, please do let me know!
Christmas Day was wonderful. We all had a lie in, Jack went out the dogs, Lucy rang her sisters, and I made breakfast. We all settled down in the family room and opened presents. I was very spoiled indeed - and you may notice a theme going through these
From Jack, I got - and can I just say I really love that man - a mid-season ticket to see my Blues <3
From Lucy, I got some Jason Momoa DVDs, a stargazing book and an astronomy log notebook.
From my dad, I got a Cardiff Blues rugger jersey. And very comfortable it is!
From Polly & Esme (Lucy's younger sisters), I got some vanilla marshmallow body shop prodcuts which smell divine.
Jack & Lucy were thrilled with their gadgets - Jack & I got Lucy a Kindle Oasis and a Marauders Map cover for it. And I got Jack a Fire HD 10
I also got Jack RAF sweater, a Man City book and a John Williams CD
Lucy gave Jack a Man City hoodie and an RAF Haynes manual book.
My dad got him a book on the 100 years of the RAF
(noticing a theme here? Anyone would think Jack love the RAF and MCFC!)
Polly & Esme got him some fishing gloves and a guided journalling book.
For Lucy
I got her a notebook and some fineliner pens she'd been cooing over and a throw blanket with a map of Narnia.
Jack got her the Bullet Journal method book and a Hufflepuff glove/scarf set
Polly & Esme got her some books on Steampunk
Her parents got her a Great British BakeOff cookbook and her other siblings got her amazon vouchers, and my dad got her an angel keyring and a set of unicorn socks.
Jack & I got a card from Lucy's parents which is an improvement on our relationship with them!
We ate far too much food, drank too much wine, sang badly to carols and played scrabble and monopoly all afternoon. It was a lot of fun.
Then yesterday, Jack's son came round. He got his dad a stadium tour of Man City and he got me some amazon vouchers. He and Lucy still have a vaguely awkward relationship, I can't see that ever-changing and I do understand it, but they don't buy each other gifts, which is fair enough. The men went out and Lucy & I cuddled up to watch Jason Momoa on TV
Tomorrow we head to my dad's. My brother, his wife and their children will also be descending on him, ready for our (brother & I) birthday. It's always strange going back there, he's still in our childhood home and I feel like I'm being transported to another time when we go. Not necessarily in a bad way, just weird. The worst is that me & Jack end up in one bedroom and Lucy in another :(
