There's a first time for everything.

Hiya!

Finally sitting down with Aaron (my better half) after a very busy and tiring Christmas!

Being poorly with the flu on Christmas Eve did not help the preparation of the events that were to take place the next day, the house needed to be cleaned, the sausage rolls needed to be rolled and tried to see if they were tasty enough, and the cakes and sponges needed to be baked. 24 hours in a day is 100% not enough when it comes to this time of the year, but I am very proud of myself for not leaving it till last minute to order and buy presents. Its an understatement saying that my purse now hates me for how much I spent.

I. AM. BROKE.

But Christmas day was a smooth success! Being the only child in the house its just partial that I woke up my step-mum and dad at 8 o'clock. And to be quite honest that's late for me! I am such a child when it comes to Christmas morning, I'm 17, I really need to grow up.

So anyway, my parents bought me a beautiful pair of matte black, fur lined Doc Martens. They did good, my mum bought me a laptop, and like the boots it is bloody gorgeous... So, I thought I'd make the most of it and start a blog.

I am so grateful for the gifts I receive (I am also grateful for the person who discovered Yorkshire Puddings and Pigs In Blankets!!!)

After I was finished with my family I made my way to Aaron's, to then later find myself playing monopoly... Which lasted THREE whole hours! Boy, the Burke's are very competitive! I am probably the worst at the game... I was the first person to be made money-less and that was only one hour in.

My favorite day of the three is Boxing Day! Why?

Because of Boxing Day Sales, of course! (another blog post will be posted tomorrow showing you some of my many bargains... including the cute little number I bought from TK Maxx for £6! Amazing!!!)

But after I shopped till I almost dropped, I found me and Aaron at my Auntie Linda's eating more pork pies and turkey sandwiches than our bodies could handle.

Christmas is always so lovely, the atmosphere is nice and everyone is happy, seeing the look on peoples faces when they open their presents is also such a invigorating feeling. Spending the day with family you hardly ever have time to see anymore, and sharing smiles with the ones you see everyday! Merry Christmas everyone!

P.S. I'm new give me a break haha. :)
