Cosy Christmas

I wanted a relaxed, stress-free Christmas Day, which got off to a terrific start when I accidentally upended two glasses of Buck's Fizz into my bed.

Howard and I were forced to get up by this incident, but otherwise we did things very much as and when we wished. We opened presents and had a Christmas meal of clementine & vodka-baked salmon with ( Read more... )

I'm happy to hear you had a good, relaxed, stress-free christmas, nevermind the spilled drinks. In situations like that, I tend to calm myself saying if that's the worst that'll happen to me today, it's a good day. So since that was the worst thing that happened to you over christmas, it logically follows that it was indeed a good christmas, as you rightly observe! :)

Here's to you and Howard and all the jolly gang that still hangs out on LJ!

I was tempted by one of the new Polaroid or Instax cameras, then I remembered that I had one from the 90s knocking around (a 21st birthday present!) and to my delight it still worked and you can buy the film again.

Oh, I like this - I'll try to start using it.

Christmas never will be the same, but this sounds like it was a good one in a different way, and I'm happy for you. Merry New Christmas! I hope NYE and 2025 will be good to you, too.
