Christmas day! Although not religious in any way, shape or form, I celebrate Christmas as it's a very happy time of year that seems to have turned into a thing for those not religious as well. Christmas celebrations have been taken well out of proportion for the whole religious concept, but I guess that's just something that comes along with everything in this day and age. I believe my day started at a late 9.30, after a long time spent at work the previous day and being woken up by the loud voice of my inconsiderate dad. Mum and me got brushed up a little and the family sat downstairs in the front room to open the presents waiting under the tree for us. If I can remember correctly from this awfully long day, I received an acoustic guitar, lots of money and chocolate  a hippo teddy that you stick in the microwave that acts as a heater, perfume, body gifts and a fair amount of computer games such as The Sims 3, Simpsons Road Rage, Mario Olympic Sports and a couple of others. I am thankful for everyone that got me presents, or contributed to me having a good Christmas somehow.
Our first trip was to my cousin's house to give her a present of one of my baby hamsters. I do hope she'll give it good care, it'll upset me greatly if I hear anything bad has happened to her. My cousin (Ashleigh) ended up naming her Amy, which is what we all expected anyway. Ashleigh was very excited, and very happy, it was rather sweet to watch even if I am worried for my baby's sake.
Next my parents and I went to my Nan's house for Christmas dinner. It was nice being there, and we even got a visit from my cousins, aunty and uncle. The majority of food was tasty, and I was left to do no cleaning up or moving as I had a long day before and will be having a long week of work following.
The final stop was to my aunty's house, where a lot of my family congregated to watch telly, talk, and divide ourselves into two teams to play a board game. It was nice spending time with my family, however I felt like I couldn't enjoy it properly because I had work the next day and it was stressing me out. Even with being with so many people I was feeling lonely, I put this down to how knackered I've been though. I just need a good long sleep, but sadly this will not be happening as I've once again got work tomorrow.
It has been a nice Christmas day, and I have loved being to see those that mean a lot to me in my family.
