Bad attempt at a title today, I really couldn't think of a song to use but mum suggested "Fix you" by coldplay, one of my favourite songs. I looked on a website at the lyrics and found this line that fits quite well with last night because it was quite a restless night, no idea why, but it was.
Don't worry, I do plan on writing these over christmas and I started writing one on Sunday but then decided to phone Luke about whether he was coming to visit me yesterday or not and he made me angry so I canceled the post before I said something I didn't mean to say. But the loveliness of the computer age is that I have just scoured this website and found the unpublished post so I can add in the few points in there too. Points like the affectionately named "stinky stick". Not Affectionately by me I might add, but by my dear mother. The stinky stick is mums way of decorating the house withouit a christmas tree. Of course the stinky stick isn't stinky anymore, it was left out in the rain and wind for a few weeks after mum brought it back from the beach so all bad smells ahve been eradicated but the name seems to have stuck. Being wrapped in tinsel, fairy lights and baubels certainly does improve its appearance but doesn't quite place itself in my heart instead of the usual too-big christmas tree shoved in the corner and dropping pine needles all over the floor. It looks okay, just not particularly festive enough for my liking.
Anyway, the past week (as today is Tuesday). It's been snowing a lot this week, and I don't mean the few pathetically watery flakes that send all school teachers mad getting scared the children will get stuck in the schools, but the proper snow that causes driving to be stressful, the world to look magical, and Ella to fall on her bottom 4 times when trying to get down to Brighouse with Luke. I didn't hurt myself, I was too busy laughing at my own stupidity to hurt! Luke tried once or twice to change the direction of my fall and give a slight push to see how far down the hill he could get me, but as the ice was covered in quite a fat layer of snow, it wasn't very far. Mum and Brendan decided to brave the elements on Sunday and create a snowman, which has, unfortunately, lost it's head in the winds over the past few days and, I fear, my hat which I have never really worn. Just because I have never worn the thing does not stop me from being fond of it!
I met up with Kirsty today. Kirsty is my best friend from being the age of abour 4 years old. We've been trying really hard over the past few days to find a time we can both meet up and possibly have a typically childish sleepover, but unfortunately that isn't going to happen so we met today for a spot of shopping and general "chilling" which included my mum who has always liked Kirsty a lot. Also we have made an agreement. If she stays in england for her 21st birthday, I am taking her out to get a kitten, whether her boyfriend likes it or not. While out I finally finished Emily's christmas present, which unfortunately fell apart when we got home so me and mum had to be quite creative with the super glue. I think it's going to stay together now, but I'm going to leave them alone for another 24hours, just to be sure.
As children up and down the country are saying, Christmas is only 3 sleeps away, and on christmas day I will be seeing my grnadparents who I have missed every day since I last saw them I think at my birthday party in september, my Uncle Kevin who is visiting from Canada and left our house to spend a few days with his parents in the lake district and my Great Aunt Shelia and Uncle Albert who were last seen again at my birthday party. I can't wait! I know what quite a few of my christmas presents are, such as the DVD box set from Luke and the posh Chinese teapot and flower teas from "Mrs SantaClause" but being me I've forgotten everything else and don't even know some of the presents. Christmas is going to be excellent this year!!
