Christmas Day this year was just me and my mum at home. Which was both lovely as we got to spend time together but also slightly sad that we weren't all together as a big family. It did, however, mean that we could be crazy and potter about at our own speed. Also as my stomach is a sad place and I cannot eat that much, or certain foods or drink alcohol at the moment, it meant that I didn't feel awkward or sad.
So here are some pictures of my darling mother and I having far too much fun! As well as showing you some photos of the presents I received. This isn't me boasting - I just love seeing other peoples presents so thought I would show you some of mine. I was really quite spoilt this year, I have a wonderful family and the sweetest friends.
I hope you all had a wonderful time whether you celebrate Christmas or not! The holidays are always a good time of year for general relaxing and feasting (it's winter after all and we need those calories :P).
