Christmas
Christmas was - well. One of the nicer ones I've had for a while. Maybe I should have a weird health scare every year before the big day, and pop some of the tension. But Christmas day was like, I got a bunch of stuff I wanted and hadn't gotten around to buying myself yet, then watching Football's Funniest Moments with my parents, who liked their gifts from me. My sister and the kids came down, and sometimes it was a bit manic, but mostly it was fine, and they played and didn't kick off, and we all had a pretty nice family dinner together.
We had a few blips - my dad screaming at my ON for nearly scratching a new tablet he'd just been bought, and making him cry, me having to argue with him about it. My sister claimed two presents were wrong, stuff she'd ordered online that my mum had picked up - she said they weren't what she'd reserved. My parents went back to the shop today to ask about returning them and the woman showed them a shop record that said she had reserved those exact those, and when my sister called and didn't ask my dad brought it up, and made it sound like she'd messed them around or hadn't done it right. They had a small argument and then hung up, and then she called back to complain about how dad was treating her like she was stupid and being awful to her. But other than that, it's been pretty straightforward. My ON decided he wanted to stay last night and this night, mostly just to play Skylanders on his PS3 from home in the little bedroom - but we watched Arthur Christmas, and had a Boxing Day meal in the fancy dining room we're usually barred from for being too common, and tonight we had snow. Beautiful snow. So all in all, so far it's been quite nice.
Ordinarily, I would be seething about what cunts Owen and Katy are being to Gary, for dating a girl in secret for very good reasons, but I'm pretty sure they and Izzy are going soon - I'm sure Katy is, have heard Owen is, and Izzy barely in it anymore so I assume they'll just all go at once. I can handle Owen and Katy being twats if it's so Anna can throw them out and off the street forever. It's going to be a bit of a shame for Gary and Chesney to be without their kids though - although I suppose they might just move a couple of streets over, to houses that are never onscreen.
Roy :( I don't know how the storyline plays out, but I hope it's not just ~drama~ for Gary before Owen leaves, because that would be a bit weird. On the other hand I hope better things happen for Roy. I thought the scene with him, Gary and Sinead was really well done tonight.
I feel like they're teasing me with the Gary/David stuff lately. I hope when David said "you've got some nerve" he meant 'you were gay with me for months, and then barely talked to for years and had a bunch of girlfriends. And now you want money, jog on.'. I said I would like Gavin and David to be a bit gay together, but I am HAPPY for Gavin to just get involved with David's situation until he gives away that he isn't Michael's son and gets thrown out, if the true storyline is going to be 'David's a single dad and Gary can't see his son anymore, they bond and become good friends and maybe Gary lives with him and curls up with him on the couch sometimes'. MY LOVE IS STILL STRONG. Maybe all the single young men of the street with rally round David in his hour of need. Maybe.
