Happy
Christmas Day! Yes, I know Christmas Day was yesterday, but better late than
never, or so they say. However, we are on holidays, and although I cannot enjoy
them as much as I hoped because of the exams taking place in January, I am
having a good time. I know there are a lot of “Grinches” around here, hating
these holidays, but fuck them! Christmas is awesome!
On one hand,
I am not a religious person and I don’t like the consumerism attached to Xmas.
People get crazy buying things, and I am of the opinion that the more expensive
gift is not the best one. The thing about Christmas is not receiving gifts; the
thing about Christmas is enjoying time with family and friends. In addition, I
truly hate Xmas-themed movies; they’re horrible- except from Love Actually, I
watch it every year. On the other hand, I love the holiday’s mood, the street
decoration and the carols. And how could I forget the journeys? I have family
spread all over Spain, so every year I travel to see them, and it is real fun
because I love travelling. This year I am not seeing my family in Pamplona, but
I am going to Cádiz.
Regarding
to my holiday’s plans, I am very excited, because this year I am going to
Granada to celebrate New Year’s Eve with my boyfriend. It is thrilling for the
reason that it is going to be our first trip together and alone, I mean,
without any other people. I’ve been planning that trip for months! We are
visiting the Alhambra Palace, the Cathedral and the Royal Chapel, where the
Catholic Kings were buried. I think I’ll post some photos and review when I’ll
be there. On New Year’s Day we are taking a bus to Algeciras, where my paternal
family lives.
Touching
Christmas Eve, I had dinner at my maternal grandparents’ – where I am living at
this moment- with my family. It was nice, because I have an uncle and cousins living
in Tenerife, and I hardly see them. My little sister was excited, because my
cousins are about her age. We sat in front of the fire and talked about old
times, when my uncles and mother were teenagers. And then, gift time! They
almost forced my boyfriend to dress up as Santa and appear with a bag full of
presents. Most of them were for the girls, because we don’t like to buy gifts
for everyone, Christmas is for children. I got some gifts, though. My mother gave me a tin music box full of
chocolates- it’s a pity than I’m on a diet. Nah, fuck the diet, I’ve already
eat them all. I loved it, and the music that the box plays is Jingle Bells, it
sounds beautiful. As for the rest, I got money- always well received, I’ve
already talked about how expensive being a student is- and a Harley Quinn’s
t-shirt from my boy.
And that was all, folks! Happy Holidays!
I love the T-shirt!! ^^
