Christmas (Just before)

• I came home to my parents for Christmas. Part of this involved slightly dodging probably the least pleasant friend I had in high school. And, mission achieved.



• Sold ended a bit brilliantly. It's actually a bit annoying that I never got to watch an episode all the way through. I'd quite like the DVD, but unfortunately it doesn't exist.



• Contemplating the new incest possibilities in Sold last night apparently led to a dream involving Harry Potter/James Potter.



• After a few weeks of thinking that this would be the first year I wouldn't have given my parents a list of 'Christmas suggestions', and it would be quite interesting and refreshing to see what I got on Christmas day, my mother turned to me in the car last night and said "You didn't give us a list this year. Well, you'd better make one over the weekend". ??



• I still love my nephew even if he is still a bit of a handful.



• Freeport still wins a bit at discounts, occasionally. And Xscape at Castleford apparently does Christmas with 35ft snowmen.
