Feliz Navidad!

Christmas! Here already!? 'Tis the season to be jolly! I love this time of year! Schools out, everyone in a festive mood, presents, it doesn't get any better than this. Wow isn't it insane how time zooms pass us so quickly like that though. Very soon 2008 will be over.

Anyway, this Christmas wasn't anything grand actually. Just a small gathering at my house with friends and family. (Well, my parent's friends at least) Started helping mum to set up with the deco and what not. I love decorating the house. I might even tend to overdo it sometimes. Like lighting up a candle in every corner and draping red and green on every table top. But who cares. It's all about the festive mood!




Helped out in the kitchen for a bit, dressed up and dinner was ready. Dinner wasn't very interesting actually, trying to participate in the adult conversation. Yeah, not very fun. We need more people my age to come next year dad. Haha oh well. I shall stop being annoying.

Right to the feast! Okay I have to admit. We didn't cook Christmas dinner, we had a caterer. Let's just say my mum isn't very good with festive fare. She cooks a mean chicken curry though. But that isn't exactly festive. So yeah we got a caterer to do the job. Everything was oh so yummy! Just look at the spread!





Isn't the gingerbread cake cute? The cake was crumbly and nutty and had a really strong ginger taste (well duh, it's freaking gingerbread cake). Haha well, the ginger flavour was a tad too overpowering for my taste. But the frosting was delish. Everything else was good too. I love roast turkey. Yeah my family isn't a fan of Christmas ham, so we didn't have Christmas ham this year.

Alright more pics for you guys:









Haha yeah I spend every Christmas with the family. Aww isn't that nice. Haha no love better than family love! Teehee. Oh my, we had sooooo much turkey left over. This means, midnight turkey sadwiches! Haha yeah and guess what we had for lunch the next day...

Haha it looks kinda gross but I swear it's really yummy. Turkey tastes better overnight. Haha.

Oooh my favourite Christmas goodies - spiced nuts! These little morsels of heaven are the best ever. I'm totally addicted to them. Fine fine, I know you guys are dying to know what I got for kidding. Yeah right, who cares what Jean got for Christmas. Well, actually nothing much this year. Mostly clothes. Two of them which I really like are a pair of Guess jeans and a FA:GE leather jacket from mama dearest.

Oooh the jeans were no ordinary jeans, they were studded with black Swarovski crystals! Ain't that kewl?! Lo and behold the pimp jeans..


Haha anyway, I hope you guys had jolly christmas!
