Who needs the gift?
Despite the fact that I doubt there are many people out there in the blogosphere today to read this, the temptation to post on Christmas day was too strong and thus here I am. It's my first blogging Christmas, I am alone, I just had to do it!
PG and I were woken at a reasonably civilised hour by my niece 'testing' her new cell phone, I should perhaps put the word 'reasonable' in context here for we are talking about a 10 years old child in full Christmas swing. It was before 8am! My only surprise was that it was not 5am! I'm not sure it was her parents ideal choice of gift for her but months of wearing down by well honed juvenile pressure saw them give in. It is however said child's ideal gift, though I think it highly unlikely she will have any credit left past this evening!
So having been woken from our slumber we ventured toward what had been yesterday evening been a large, tidy pile of gifts under our tree........Ditto had seemingly had a fun filled night dragging those she could move to various new locations about the living room and into the hallway!
The morning was pleasant, we did the 'unwrapping thing', called a few friends and family and got called a few more times by same niece still in 'testing mode' and then PG had to leave for work.
It's quite peculiar to be alone on Christmas day...... very quiet though it does have it's benefits. If I must be on my own then I'm gonna make the most of it. I have soaked in the bath, watched White Christmas on tv (something PG would have grumbled about had he been here, heh) and stuffed my self with copious amounts of tortilla chips, humous, guacamole, olives and every conceivable permutation known to woman-kind, of chocolate. This may not be traditional Christmas fare but it's not a traditional Christmas for me so I can eat untraditional things!
Things could be a lot worse, for the remainder of the day I have various bits of new gadgetry to fiddle with, two new books to peruse, Coronation Street to watch unfettered by anyone complaining and my one person Christmas dinner is ready and waiting to hit the oven.
Oh.....and I doubt many of you out there can boast a pair of subtly (not) fuschia coloured meowing slippers to amuse yourselves with! Yes, they really meow......much to Ditto's consternation!
Yes, things could be alot worse. :o)
Meow!

I'm here too! We've been out for a picnic today. So you have problems getting to watch Corrie too! It's obviously a male conspiracy. Still, at least you don't have to watch Scrapheap Challenge and American Choppers all the time. Happy 'rest of holiday'.
