Christmas

*Yawn* Is it that time again, already? Christmas is drawing to a close, and we're heading into that nowhere week between Christmas Day and New Year's Eve. Christmas builds up for so long, but then it's just... gone. I don't mean that in any emo kind of sense. I'm not sad. Just perplexed as to how it managed to arrive and leave quite so quickly, with me barely noticing.

I had rather a subdued Christmas this year. Low maintenance, quiet, un-fussy. Part of it was due to the fact that I've had two migraines within the space of four days, with the latest one assaulting me in the early hours of this morning. So I spent most of the morning sipping water and painkillers and not feeling too festive. I felt better as the day went on, though, and my mom made a REALLY delicious Christmas roast for lunch, with ALL the trimmings. Mm-mm!

We were all on a low budget this year, but I still managed to get a few gifts. My mom got me the retro Sonic Wii and DS bags from GAME and Sonic Unleashed for PS2 (it was only about a tenner, yay!), and my brother got me Yoshi's Island DS. I already have that game, but I guess I can trade it in... it was still a nice gift. I got my brother a body spray he wanted, and I got my mom some dark chocolate from Ecuador and two CDs of Gregorian Monks' Chants.

I watched the Doctor Who Christmas Special. It was a bit of a let-down, to be honest. It was fun, but I guess I was expecting something really unexpected or epic and it came across more as filler. Not worth waiting so long for, really. Ah well.

Merry Christmas everyone, anyway :) I hope you all had a good one!

I think it's just the way Christmas is, tbh. Everyone gets all excited about it, and before you know it... it's gone again. Today's gone surprisingly quick for me as well (maybe that's just cos I wasn't in work XD).

My sister gets migraines a lot, I can't even remember what she takes to help ease them off. She saw her GP about it, I know that much. Lol, useless!Jade is useless. XD

Oh, and thanks for the card, also. My apologies for not getting one through to you on time. D:

I think you may have had part of your holiday stolen by Anti-Santa.

In all seriousness, I think you'll really like Sonic Unleashed, Jai.^_^ It's a big move back towards light-hearted Sonic storytelling. And though I thought the PS2/Wii version would be inferior to the 360/PS3 version, it's really a different game in and of itself, with its own unique content.

Glad you had good food too.^^ Hope whatever sickness you have goes away fast.^^;;

And, uh...hope the body spray attracts the chicks...dudes...whatever your bro is in too.XD

Christmas is celebrated 7th of January here in Russia, so I'm still waiting and still didn't get your card (( I hope you'll get mine soon.
Management wanted us to work today, although no one worked on UK side and we had nothing to do... no one was able to change tapes for backups, no one was able to answer any e-mail. Most have out-of-office-autoreply-happy-holidays-see-you-5th-Jan ))) We'll have day on leave tomorrow.

That's what really stinks about Christmas: it comes and it goes. :/

I got Sonic Unleashed also, and I LOVE IT. :D I hope you enjoy it too!
