It's Christmas eve ,it's Christmas eve and time is running out ,running out!.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
hey everyone merry merry xmass.
Today i have another deep thing for you today as i realised that i have only ever used this blog for what i intended  once. Firstly though , I just plucked my eyebrows and the pain has gone now leaving a nice hot burn in it's wake. Usually everything for Christmas is ready by my birthday ;the 7 boxes of Christmas things are out and waiting. ,the ivy has been plucked, the leaves for the wreath have been gathered and the presents all wrapped with piles of Christmas cards set next to them.On the first of December we would get out our countdown 'till Christmas and swap round the numbers each day . This year we didn't get the boxes out till this week, we didn't get ivy, we didn't make a wreath , I just wrapped my presents for my family and I only bought them this week. I only wrote 9 Christmas cards to the closest of closest friends and didn't return 10 Christmas cards. We didn't get the countdown out because we didn't bring the box down from the attic. I couldn't get my friends presents till recently and have to drop them of after Christmas after I personalise them. Basically my family wasn't prepared for Christmas ; I didn't know when it was christmas 'till last Tuesday when I asked what the date was when i was thinking about Jades new kitten and Jude went "its the 21st ,4 days till Christmas" . We weren't prepared  partly because we kept running out of money and partly because of the stress of getting the house sorted for the guests that are coming Christmas day and mostly our laziness (we like to pretend we're an active , organised household but we all know we're not). tonight we got out a carrot for Rudolph , got out our mince pies mum made (even though mum is the only one who likes mince pies in the family)  and a glass of milk( I say glass when it's actually a washed up small nutella jar) and put it all out on the dining room table , like we do every year. and then in the middle of the night mum will put the carrot back in the fridge , eat the mince pie and dad will drink the milk ,like they do every year. We then were forced to sit down and listen to 'Twas The Night Before Christmas and then presented with our stockings to hang on the our bedroom door.Tomorrow morning some one will wake me up early and i'l take my filled stocking to my parents bedroom to sit down and open presents while they watch armed with video cameras and normal cameras . After we laugh a bit and look at presents from Father Christmas Jude and I will go down stairs to open our presents from mum and dad . After that they will open presents from each other then from us. those are our stuck Christmas traditions.but why do we have them . why does our childhood depend on on stories of flying reindeer and fat old guy? why must older children fear saying the wrong thing in front of little children? Other cultures survive without it. Yes i may complain about because i'm a teenager ,blah blah blah, but if we hadn't done any of that . I't wouldn't feel right and the sense of  family comfort will be missing. I believe thats what the fuss of christmas is about ,secretly deep down we all feel warm hearted at these small things even if we don't realise it ,because be honest how would you feel if you didn't have it? we say things like its "Jesus' birthday , celebrate" err news flash jesus wasn't born in december ,or winter actually he was born in spring. " it's about christmas spirit" what for? "it's about presents" Why do we get them ? (although im not complaining) "it's about being thankful for things we get"  don't we do that at eater and what about America's 'thanksgiving day' Meh ,that's my opinion anyway , so viewers (if i have any) what are christams traditions and what are your opinions about christams ?
Have a nice day, bye now

  1. I am desperately trying to get hold of a copy of the Christmas drama script that the title of this blog post shares as it's first line. Are you able to help? Thanks Kathryn
