BLOGMAS Day 24: Christmas Eve fun

I've never left presents till the last minute but I did this year so me, my dad and brother headed into town to pick up (little did he know) my dads present. The town was chocka of course but I kind of love it because you met so many people you haven't seen in years and everyone is wishing you a Merry Christmas and just generally nice. Finally after my brother looked in every new shop he hasn't seen before we headed home for a nice family dinner (curry and chips, real festive). Then like the true kids we are my brother and I sneakily went round the presents at the tree guessing what they are, and also (mainly me) opening some just a crack (quite a bit and taping it back together). We then headed to the graveyard to say some prays for my grandparents, and now its back to watching some Christmas movies and the traditional thing we do on Christmas Eve, light a fire in the sitting room, have little snacks and play board games.
