Christmas in review

Well I started my christmas holiday at the end of a busy day of work on the 21st december. I went straight from work to the airport to head down south. I spent a couple of nights in christchurch ... first night meeting up with my friend Todd and staying at his place, then shopping all the next day (doing my christmas shopping, yeah last minute i know), then it turned out I needed to stay in christchurch another night (I'd miscalculated times for when my mum and bro were arriving). So I caught up with my friend Shane and his flatmates/friends ... and we went to an awesome rave called Hed Kandi. It was awesome! Me, Shane, Carlos, Ari, and Lauren all hit town for a good 5 or 6 hours, and went home thoroughly exhausted!

Then I headed to ashburton with mum and my brother Dave the next day for the good old family christmas. I spent a decent amount of time in the spa pool at the house, and finally got into the pool on the 2nd to last day (it was cold!), and ate huge amounts of food, as you always do at christmas :-) All up there were 17 of us there for christmas day ... 15 of us staying at the one house ... so it was quite a decent size gathering. Even through all the insanity and drinking and hyperactivity of christmas, its great to get family together :-)

Christmas presents ... lots of chocolate, a giant candy cane, the King Kong production diaries collectors set on dvd :-) , a mirrorball and light set, OpShop cd (bought with my vouchers), a photo frame, bodybutter, bath bomb fizz things. So I did kinda ok ay.

But its not about the presents ... they're just a treat to top off the day. Its all part of celebrating the birthday of the one person who makes the huge difference in my life ... Jesus. happy birthday!
