It's truely amazing. White snow or frost outside on the lawn, terrible jumpers on, fun music, logs on the fire, the entire family round for a massive chicken and turkey dinner, pulling crackers, wearing silly crowns, toasting to Great-Gran (she died around Christmas time), getting up silly early to annoy my parents and open the presents, sitting all in the living room after dinner and watching a stand up DVD I got for christmas, Gran secrectly getting tipsy on Baileys in the corner even though she's heavily Christian so she doesn't get drunk, Grandad turning up with presents wrapped in Newspapers from the 1980s, general hugs and that feeling of love, getting phonecalls from everyone giving their best wishes, hearing from so many people who you really don't get to see enough of, Grandad giving me daft advice about things like stock and house prices in insane detail for no reason, having a massive game of Blackjack or Pontoon, then building some massive lego thing for no reason; "Everyone look for a 2x3 blue block!", then saying bye to everyone at the end, knowing no matter what happens in the upcoming year, good or bad, we'll all be here as a family, with nothing but love and care. It's bloody sodding beautiful.


Bring it the shit on.
