'to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die'

doesn't it just look like a realistic Narnia?

by realistic i mean disappointing and dark - but all the while kind of cute.

i walked to work in that last week. it was nice to walk in the snow. we've never had it that close to Christmas before. it was lovely.

anyway, i won't bore you with my tales of Christmas day, because we know they're all the same - grandparents telling the same stories over and over, parents fussing over the turkey, brother setting alight to freaking everything, etc.

my mum did this thing where she put scratch cards in each cracker, and turns out she won £5. which ironically, wasn't even enough to cover the cost of the scratch cards.

i got some really nice things this year. things i wanted, and things i needed. they will all get used, and come in useful. and thankfully there was none of that painful 'thank you so much, i love it, i will use it all of the time!' when you really mean 'oh. um. what is it? do i need this? i hate it. ew.'
