*insert obligitory 'Merry Christmas' post here*

Although we decided this morning that this was definitely the 'bah, humbug' family, I'm actually quite cheerful. I've already managed to be told off for eating too much and to watch a couple of really naff films (or parts thereof, anyhow), so I feel I've done most of my Christmas duty; it just remains to go and be scared by my cousins. (The Christmas service at church actually managed to be good, which was an amazing feat. We dropped the 'show everyone your presents' bit, which I hate with the passion of a thousand firey suns (what about the kids who don't have expensive stuff, huh?), so that improved things immeasurably.)

I seem to like mince pies more this year.

(Our first song was 'Angels From The Realms Of Glory', which *we sung at vililee's*. This pleased me.)

We always took a stocking present. (Since we don't open other presents till after church, although we do open them before 3).

However, our church seems to have silently developed a policy of bring a present that's naff or comical (this year Colin brough about 10 satsumas from a stockings joke and Chris bought a haggis). However, I certainly conceed that this is something of an in joke and therefore not very relavent to the rest of the universe.

I'd apologise for this entirely irrelavent post, but this is LJ.
