I can't believe a week ago was Christmas Eve. The time has just flown but at the same time Christmas seems like a long time ago now!
It was incredibly quiet but a good time was had by all!
On the day itself we were up reasonably early for us (and given it was a public holiday) - at 8am, opening our stockings. We then went into the lounge to open our other presents.
We did well present wise and love all our gifts! Having the day to ourselves meant we could actually each watch DVDs we'd been given for Christmas.
After present opening we had bacon sandwiches for breakfast and took the dog for a walk. And after watching our DVDs we had amazing Roast Lamb done on the BBQ. Then we played a bit of Singstar and spoke to family on the phone. It was a fun day and very relaxed.
And that's how it's been since the big day really.
As usual when I'm on holiday my sleeping patterns got completely out of whack so I am trying to get myself into a better routine to make it easier to go back to work. The routine may go out of the window tonight though. We don't actually have any plans at this stage - will see how we feel. There's something happening in town if we decide to be social but it may be us at home with some drinks and ringing in the new together. We shall see.
Been to the shops a few times to get bits and bobs. Our biggest Sales purchase has been a new camera which I am totally in love with. And slightly obsessed with the macro setting too but hopefully that will pass as I learn a bit more about the different functions!
My other obsession has been the Twilight books. OMG! How did I not read them before now?! With the movie being released in NZ on Boxing Day and all the mentions I had heard of the series over the last few months I put the first book - Twilight (by Stephenie Meyer) on my Christmas list. Graeme kindly obliged and I started reading it on Boxing Day....and didn't stop until yesterday when I had worked my way through all 4 books! They are fabulous and I wholeheartedly recommend them! And so I also dragged Graeme to the film last night. As is always the way for me - it was nowhere near as good as the book but I loved it and definetly want to see it again.
And I've been working on my 2008 Ta Da's list - hope to get it posted before midnight but if not it will be posted over the next few days.
Hope you all had a great Christmas and wishing you all the very best for 2009 and whatever it may bring!

Hehehehe, little Miss Vampire :P Are you team Edward or team Jacob?
I've read Twilight and trying to get my hands on the others now. They are great aren't they? You're lucky that you were able to get Graeme to watch the movie with you - no chance of Michael coming with me to see it.
We don't have any plans for New Years either. We've just had dinner and now trying to decide what dvd to watch. Nothing much happening in Tirau this evening :P
All the best for 2009 to you two too, and all that you plan to do with it. :o)
Kelly - I have to admit I have a soft spot for Jacob but given the choice I would most definetly be Team Edward! I'd totally go to the movies to watch it with you if we wern't 5 hours apart! Let me know what you think of the other books when you get to them!
Diane - thanks for the best wishes :-)
