Spooky Holidays

[almh]

Christmas always seems to contain lots of "Food, fun...& great tv"! I can't say that I agree with the alcohol part, although some people in my family do seem to drink a lot when it comes to Christmas...

Mine is pretty boring - church the night before and then the next day my mum's family come round and we unwrap presents and invariably end up watching Doctor Who at least once (on particularly memorable occasions I end up watching an old episode with my cousin, who's about 7 or something, and then the new Christmas special in the evening ) We don't usually bother with the Queen's Speech or with a walk afterwards...

My dad is always argumentative whenever we have people round. He gets really stressed out about it, even if it's just my mum's family, so he's normally in a bad mood before they arrive, but is fine when they do arrive. The days when we have people round are one of the few times my dad clears up.

I think my sister is just young enough to believe in father Christmas (she's 11,) although whether she does rather depends on if my one of my other sisters told her that he wasn't real, and that they knew where the presents were hidden...
