christmas an' all

it is thus christmas.

25th of december and present-giving an' all. yeah yeah new year's in five days' time.


this christmas is rather different, i think. other christmases i'd have partied my eyeballs out in some club. but this time... it's oddly domestic. like i'm finally understanding the importance of family (those who had known me long enough will know that i hate spending time with anything remotely related by blood to me. other than my cousins and a particular set of niece and nephew, of course).

and thus i had spent christmas eve hanging out with someone special, doing idyll nothing. visited my mother, a coupla days before, in malapropos mention, under the pretense that we have to get together to celebrate this festival called the dumpling-eating day. or something like that.

(it's a ploy to introduce someone new to some auntie i call 'ma'. i'm sure you saw right through it!)



so... we attended church service on x'mas eve and then we headed home to sleep (vastly different from my previous encounters). we were supposed to go blading at east coast park, but well...

and we also did nothing on christmas day. attended church then did nothing then hung out with fellow church chap at east coast park. heh

had a great time though, he went there with family (three little girls! all sweet-faced angels!) and dawg. gosh, had such a great time! really pleasant christmas, this.

lovely.



..i must be getting old.
