Update on Life...

So Christmas has come and gone once again and I feel like time is moving too fast! How has Christmas already past us and 2014 is nearly over? The end of my degree sees even closer now this side of December 25th than before it, and I'm already dreading those last few weeks where we'll all be working hard on essays and exams without any time to actually say goodbye. And then what will happen? I have too many ideas of what job I would like to do, that I can't settle on one. I might return to my home job in a supermarket for the summer whilst I search properly, but at the moment it is too confusing! Other third year students will agree with me!

So Christmas Day was lovely and I got so much more lovely presents than what I was expecting. The boyfriend and I spent Christmas Eve having dinner with his family, which I always enjoy! His little nephew was being exceptionally cute, as always, wanting me to play games with him and dragging me around the house. I found myself drifting off eventually as I had been at work earlier in the day and was already knackered. Wine didn't help.

Christmas Day was spent with my family. In the morning, the boyfriend went back over to his own family's to open presents, whilst we opened our own. I had bought my family a Christmas jumper each (below) from Primark; I was actually surprised everyone wore theirs!! Especially my brother as he's a grumpy teenager who dislikes Christmas and present giving. He takes a Sheldon (The Big Bang Theory) stance on the whole idea of present giving, where there's just no point to it.

They all look so pretty!!

I finally got a Pandora bracelet which I have been hinted for, for a while. It's so beautiful and already has five charms. I also got a food mixer from my parents for my baking, which is just so beautiful I can't contain myself. I feel like a kid again with all these presents. My boyfriend's family bought me loads themselves, and I felt so spoilt. Hopefully I'll do more posts with my presents, as I am so excited to share what I got! And the boyfriend himself got me the most beautiful necklace along with the most comfiest slippers EVER. He knows me too well!

Boxing day is my sister's birthday, so this was spent at home as well! I didn't realise how much I'd actually bought her until I was giving it to her. I think she had a great day; as she was able to see some of her friends and got loads of games for her new Xbox One. That's right, she bought herself an Xbox One and it is beautiful. I admit, I am jealous... but gave us some east gift ideas!

Christmas is great, but is not as exciting without children! Now my siblings and I are all older, Christmas is definitely not as exciting as it used to be; it's just another day really. I was personally quite excited just to have a day off work since I've been in every day we've been open! Kids make the day more special, as my boyfriend's nephew showed me on Christmas Eve. I honestly can't wait until I have my own family and we can got all out with the decorations and spoil them with presents and go overboard with the Santa thing. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy Christmas; it was great! But the excitement around it comes from children!
