So its this time of the year already, Christmas is here and well this year is a stark contrast from ther negativity and events of 2023, it was still an aftershock of things and it can be. It was a also still catching up from the previous time of what happened after the exeter shopping. But this was a time to relax, or more to make sure preparation is ready for the big day . But these 2 days will feel different, since arrangements this year meant christmas day was more closer and less eventful than the boxing day
Christmas Eve,
This in itself was a intriguing once since it was the 2nd proper day of feeling a cold, I was getting a fever and soaked in sweat as i woken up. But that was about 7:45 am, Then after getting changed and coughing up mucus, plus a replacing a n3050 motherboard to take into work that was for a clickets project of something semi nostalgic. But I then got the bus with mum which but just arrived. WE both got on and it was a few more people than the day before too.
Eventually I got into tavi and then we both walked to town, Which then i went to work where mum went coop. Since I was still feeling a bit of a fever so things were cold to the touch, bur with 3 layers on it was well help me get things warm.
AS i got in it was still tying up things and plan that was going to be the place today, since there were some finished chores off before the bigf estive season of the 2 days off to approach. Since there always will be people wanting higher end stuff last minute or even other. But it was one after another and got things to its place. Sme repairs to finish off and various minu task to catch up through the day.
But time passed and irt 2as soon the last hour where a customer was on the phone and also someone waited around to ask last hour of the working day if there was an iPad in stock. Which i did not but Argos having them or £289 is light daylight obvert on value so he had to rush there by 6p, Which then i got out and rushed my way to get home early for a change for the not last bus home.

Then it was the walk up which on the way back was more bags of salad which i took back and freed, the rain was misty and damp too. But then I got back in and it was nice to finally have a nice bit of light bites for the christmas even tea, since even though my flu was kicking in and working thought it to sort out the christmas shopping vlog still which was overdue and one of the regrets with vlogging the going to exeter was the last minute delay of rush for the video editing..

Eventually it was time to sort things out with christmas day being fast approaching. Since I was still engrossed in the video editing. Eventually I was to bed about the 1am mark. Then it was present wrapping at 2am

Christmas Day
Overall, the christmas day was a quieter day in general and it was coming to plan out the day to sort. The first task was to sort out filming the christmas message which I had an idea to myself on how to do this. But we first wake up about the 9:30am mark after a fap over a sheffield cutie. Then it was time to wake up and see what plans next to go on.
Then it was greeting mum to see how she was getting on. since I was getting gruff on my throat so it made it a risk for filming the christmas message, but i got it done. But after greeting mum she was on her ipad, So it was time to get changed and walk my way to a field to then was my time to get recording. I was on the way and noticed people running on the road in the mist as well. But I made my way to the mini field on the mist before it was time to film The mud was pretty intense and even i nearly slipped, but the burger oodee kept less muddy.

Tben it was time to walk to the food fridge to pickup some salad which was a nice change to find some salad to pick up. Which then i made my time to get back up home and ten time to clear things up before it was time for some breakfast of a toasted sandwich.

Then it was eventually leas to me top cain the editing for the Christmas messages which i had to pause earlier than planned since tea or the christmas dinner was an hour and a bit earlier than it was planned originally. Which this time it was nice and tasty but not too much of the meat and the vegetables. Then it was to be what was actually tasty but not too burning in the mouth. But it was nice and felt a tasty normal roast on a sunday. The table was not really festive.

Then it was time to enjoy some of the time with being about to eat, the food was nice and it was not to worry on. But eventually it was time to clean up and finish up string the christmas message video. It was then nearly 2:30 and time it was finished and uploading to the socials. But then it was soon time to sit down and watch the kings speech, even with the time of the royals losing the itr popularity and also with the discussions meaning much less than it seemed. But it was nice to watch for the least.

Then it was the case to then be able to pen the presents for us after. I got some nice ones like a hoodies and also some gift sets which mum and ads enjoyed their presents too. Which it was more useful bits this year to enjoy an deal with. But that was soon lived shorted and time to watch a movie on netflix together.

Then it was that peaceful night to have and spend, with just taking it all in and having that bonding time while traying to doom scroll om some bits and typer on the other. But time was just relaxing until it was then leftovers for dinner that night. Which the evening the meals like that are nice for sure. But then it was time to relax with family for the rest of the night watching Top Gun Maverick, which actually instead was nice until a friend on fb wqasd pleasing me to call him to help with the PS portal setting up. But by the time that was done, it was the end of the night. Which for me was then to sort out other posts to do.
But really from that, it was the end of christmas day and then time to sort oput the boxing day part
Boxing Day.
This day was going to be how things go and this year was still going to be semi awkward but at the same time it was also the only family get together this year had to bring, ok next year was going to be another wedding but instead it was a long time aware for things to get going with. But we begin with another misty walk after making nicer turkey leftover toasted sandwiches.

Then it was more killing time until all 3 of us decided to take Rosie, out for a walk to see what happens, it was misty and very foggy wit that little of dam prain that after a while does get to you, that was also cold and a very weird front of weather, but even the sun tried to escape the clouds when overlooking the valley. Plus it was also more phone called from a few customers in work

But then it was time to get back and change after a nice warm shower, with the hand of me being tucked away somewhere, but it was then a text from sister about our presents to come later on. since it was not the right place to do that or something. So i had the warm shower and got out to tell mum, before it was the time to get change and make our way there to my dad's brothers place again.
As we drove it felt a sense of odd shame and time to pass as well as awkward bits but time flow and withing 30 minutes of being in the thick mist, we got there. Which in itself was nice but at the same time it had a very mild christmas about it, but we got down there then greeted and it was just killing time, since sister with kid was slightly late and drinks were offered with a mix of Christmas music. But time passed and eventually it was time to have a bit of party buffet food which i had a mixe of burned roast potatoes with some ham, potato salad and even some egg too.

But while this happened a message from a old friend that changed a fair bit was asking about her xbox account being lost which that that was a short reply before not hearing from them again. But after that it was the case it going to be the part of being the present giver with various fun gifts of secret santas and loads to the kid and grandad so it was a nice twist on that. But with various chatter from choir singing to even other things and some family drama to build with seeing an uncle or mostly all except our side of the family for some reason due to crowds. That and another house tour which a lot can change in one year.
But eventually time moves on and it was time for us to leave, this was actually earlier than expected of the 3:30 mark which was good. But it was nice to have a cosy end to it. Which actually the time of getting home was for the next stage of another misty dog walking selfie.

But then it was time to just let things slide and after finally catching up with the video editing, it was time to have more leftovers before it was time to finally relax with parents before working the rest of the week which would be quite a interesting week for sure. But the leftover alloli and more chicken bits makes it nice and easy for sure to handle. Plus the salad always helps its vibe.

Well there we have it, with things caught up and a relaxing christmas in a foggy 2 days, its been a one i probably will not remember but sometimes its good to forget a christmas that was not eventful, others i heard was the opposite and i feel sorry that happened to them. But at least this will be a nice way of twixmas to enjoy the show of the final few days of this numb year.
