Are you having a holly jolly Christmas?

Diet Coke Santa?

To most people (who celebrate Christmas) it would be 12 days until Santa appears during the night and sets out bucket loads of cash without any bags of coal. Wishful thinking? Maybe...but then if you never ask, you never get.

Of course I am only joking, since I have become older over the years, I find the actual lead up to Christmas more exciting than actual Christmas Day. Christmas Day feels like it needs to be all family orientated, cheering along with music, and plates piled high with fluffy potatoes and juicy turkey. Instead I see it as awkard moments of opening up presents whilst the present giver looks on anticapting your every expression on your face.

No one can say that they havent got a "smile" which they use when they open a present and think "what made this person think i even wanted a deer skin hat?". A extreme example, but then I have learnt over the years, if you don't HINT HINT HINT during the lead up to Christmas, then people won't really catch on about what you want/need to make your visual apperance or happiness level increase.

I do however bask in the atmosphere of christmas, the crackling fire whilst the aroma of yankee candle Christmas Eve fills the room with warmth. We must not forget the twinkling lights of every christmas tree you can see in your neighabourhood and the crystal frost that slowly covers the tops of cars and roofs, whilst chimmneys puff in anger at being used FINALLY after waiting all year.

Scrooge?

Christmas to every individual brings different memories, different things people look forward to and of course the idea that once its over the entire population sits down and goes "i can't believe its over for another year".....

What is your favourite part of Christmas? The food? The gifts? Maybe everything?

What though is your scrooge element? Taking down the tree? Driving in the frost? Feeling your toes go painful from being so cold?

Whatever it is, I would love to know.

Till next time.....

The weather outside is frightful.....

The last post I must admit was very.... depressing. But then again I felt 100% better after I had typed that whole story out. I asked the same question to my current boyfriend (i make that sound like i have reams of men hiding in cupboards...I don't) and he said no one wud realise if he vanished either. I think that made me feel a bit more "normal" (as no one can really be completely normal)

The weather however can only resemble the emotion: rage. The wind is howling down every street, tearing her way through cities and even stopping some forms of transport in the worst effected area (Scotland). I find it amazing as Met Office has issues a "red alert" for Scotland. I would not like to be living there right at this moment in time, with many people trending on twitter #hurriancebagpipes and other similar (not such nice names) for the weather.

What do we expect though? As a famous advert once said "we wait all year for the summer sun, only to cool down again once it arrives" I find it NEAR impossible to get a human being who is 100% happy, or isn't fonding of moaning. I myself can't last the day without a few remarks of a negative nature, whether it be a slow driver or maybe "whats happened to my diet coke?" (lame example maybe?)

Anyway as i was putting books away in my old playroom (which is now the study) I came upon a treasure trove of TeenyWeenie Families. Now i myself am PROUD that i collected all families and houses PAR ONE! (that makes me a bit sad in my competitive nature) and I have provided a wee linkage below incase I'm the only girl aware of such toy delights (they stopped producing the families in 1997) Gee now i feel old.

I mainly wanted to post to say I might hate the new me in the sense of getting angry easily and what not, but most of the time I am quite happy with my life. So I wanted to make that clear: I am happy, its jus the adjusting period of my donor system and how i feel about myself after all these years of fighting the big C.

Linkages: Teeny Weeny Families (Ebay link) 
Just want to say that the link i provided is for ebay BUT it is because i cant find the orginal teeny weeny website (although you can just google that product but ebay is jus another verison of lookin at the families etc)

MEOOOWWW!
