How is your Christmas day likely to unfold?
I'll work till 24Dec. on a draconic schedule (8.00-18.30 + extra UNPAID hours) so on Christmas morning I'll try to sleep a bit longer. No need to wake up early cos I know for sure Santa won't come to me. I'll try to go to the cemetery to light a candle and to hang a little fir tree crown at my father's grave. At lunch I'll go to a sort of family reunion at one of my cousins where as usual I'd feel like the black sheep of the family, the one who did nothing in her life. In the evening I'll finally eat like a pig and drink a red wine glass with my mother. During the day I'll have endless phone calls with people I talk once or twice/year, pretending we're happy to hear each other and it's a shame we can't see more often. Finally I'll go to sleep in my cold bedroom thinking seriously if I'll have the strength to survive another year.
Kinda boring, isn't it? :p
Do you wear elegant clothes on Christmas day?
It is the middle of summer in New Zealand, it will be 25ish degrees c, most of the time is spent outside, so it is more than likely to be shorts, t-shirts and jandals.
Is Christmas better in the summer or winter?
I wouldn't know. I've only ever spent Christmas in the winter :mark: .
Real (pine, fir, etc.) or artifical tree?
I love the smell of fresh cut pine trees, but they do tend to drop all of their needles, which knacker your vacuum cleaner, but shiny plastic trees look so tacky. To be honest though I have a plastic tree with a computerised fibre-optic light display programmed into it.(hey I'm a computer geek!!)
What are you looking forward to in 2014
The Football World Cup, The F1 season, Recovering from an injury which has stopped me playing football for 4 months. Also another year to see what the garden brings.
What do you plan for 2014?
Win millions of dollars on loto, then spend 4-6 months back in England catching up with friends/family etc that I haven't seen for 1/2 a life time.
when I win loto, who wants to meet me in the pub for a few drinks. Location is not an issue?
Don't count on me. I won't fly to the end of the world to meet a milionare in a ....PUB.
What's the traditional food for Christmas in your country?
Hard to say, the English part says, turkey, etc, but in NZ many people simply have a bbq.
do you like the rain?
Hate it.
Are you already on holiday?
