It’s over!
So that’s it. The madness is over for another year. I spent a very enjoyable (if rather drugged up day) round my friends house having food made for me, lounging on the sofa and generally doing nothing. We watched TV, talked and had a laugh and to be honest, that’s what Christmas should be about. Getting rid of the gifts (I have reclassified the few presents I did get as house warming gifts as I did ask for no Christmas gifts and will open them later in the week) actually made things more pleasant and the not worrying about it being a ‘perfect’ Christmas (believe me I’ve even found myself on the receiving end of a tirade about how “this year was going to be perfect and nothing is going to stop that”, not sure my idea of a perfect day involves being ranted at) meant it was all very relaxed. I’m definitely banning people from buying me gifts again next year 
If I can get through Boxing Day, you may find me giggling manicly in a darkened room going “I survived” every so often in between moments of unstopable laughter.
