| Cigarettes And Suicide Bleeding on the Floor  Age: 37 Gender: Female Posts: 1725 | I promised I wouldn't start on about Christmas until at least December 1, but meh. This thread is here, and so am I, and I have a spare few minutes... I love Christmas. It's fully the only awesome holiday we have here in Australia (we don't have Thanksgiving, and NYE is always a gigantic disappointment, and Easter's really only good for four days of getting fat and making yourself sick on chocolate), so I love taking full advantage. When I was a kid, Christmas always involved a holiday to stay with my dad's parents and celebrate with them. My nanna would always put on a huge feast with everything from the traditional roast (with all the trimmings, naturally) and plum pudding, to cold ham, salads and seafood. The last few years, we haven't travelled because my grandfather died and my nanna moved further south to be closer to my aunt and her family, so we've gotten a bit slack - it's the middle of sweltering summer here so mum just puts on some salads and seafood and lets us do the rest... which is a huge disappointment. Last year and the year before, it was an extended family affair again as my husband and I were together, so we split the day between lunch at his parents' (which was awesome, his mum always put on a great feed) and dinner at my parents' (again, and sad affair of everyone pretty much sticking their heads in the fridge and choosing whatever they found). Last Christmas was great because my husband's aunt and three cousins came up from Melbourne so it was definitely a full house, with heaps of little kids running around, it was fun. This year, Briona is dead and Wayne is in prison, so it'll probably be a pretty quiet affair. Now that we have our own house, and my husband's little brother is living with us, it will fall on me to be the hostess and my parents will come celebrate with us (I think it's because we have an air-conditioner and my parents don't, so mum just wants to sit in a cool house for a day rather than her sweatbox). I'm still excited, though. I'm going to buy a new Christmas tree next week, even though the displays have been up for well over a month (they started putting decorations out at the mall in SEPTEMBER). My husband hates Christmas trees, because our cats (and now our daughter) destroy them and make a huge mess of synthetic green 'leaves' and bits of shiny tinsel all over the place, but to me a Christmas tree is at least 73% of the Christmas spirit!! As far as Christmas presents go, I'd wanted tickets to the Kings of Leon show in March next year (tix went on sale this week) but I missed out, so I'm trying to think of what else I want. I was going to buy Chief a GPS for the car, but I don't know if he still wants one (some other bills have come in so now he's not sure he wants me to spend so much money on presents). We've already got Emily's main present sorted, after paying $500 for a purebred Jack Russell terrier puppy, but we'll be getting her some other junk as well. *sigh* I'm still waiting on that bottle of Poison I've been asking for every birthday and Christmas for two years!!  Maybe after the screwed-up few months we've had, Santa might take pity on me PS Juturna, you're so lucky that it usually rains in the afternoon on Christmas!! Where in Aus are you? We're in central Queensland, and Christmas Day is always disgustingly humid all day, and it gets overcast which just makes it feel even hotter and stickier, and we sit around looking at the sky and going, 'Yep, any minute now, it'll start pelting' but it never does!! It just gets worse  |

| ennui. Awake and Unafraid Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 11393 | Cigarettes And Suicide: I'm in south east Queensland, and yeah we sit around all day waiting for it to storm, and then like clockwork it does. When I was a kid I used to be so paranoid, you know with the whole cyclone Tracey thing, and they'd always have specials on the news and that and it'd make it worse. But central Queensland would be 10x as hot as it is here, you poor thing. |
| Cigarettes And Suicide Bleeding on the Floor Age: 37 Gender: Female Posts: 1725 | ^ I think some of the problem here (Gladstone) is the pollution putting a big fat heavy blanket over the region, so it gets even more humid (and when the rain comes, if it bothers... it's acid!!). It's already started, two days in a row I've fallen asleep on the couch because it's just too sticky for me to actually stand up and move around. Wrote up my Christmas list today, seeing as I missed out on KoL tickets for March (but I've been promised we'll still go to Brisbane in March for a holiday, it'll be better now that we'll have the extra money we would have spent on tickets!!)... It basically consists of some perfumes ('L de Lolita' by Lolita Lempicka, 'Dior Addict 2', 'Luscious Pink' by Mariah Carey, etc etc) and the rest of the Gossip Girl books, plus the It Girl series. Oh, and the sequel to 'The Luxe' by Anna Godbersen, I grabbed it at Big W a few weeks ago on a whim because I liked the picture on the front and the blurb, and it turned out to be pretty rad. Now I want to know what happens after Elizabeth's death, whether Henry marries Diana or Penelope (or neither?!)... I was looking for Twilight in the book section today because I know I saw it a few weeks ago, but naturally, since the movie is coming out everyone's buying the books for Christmas. I'm just wondering whether it's worth asking for an e-voucher to my favourite online shoe store, seeing as I'm getting more and more pregnant and I won't be prancing around in 5-inch heels much longer. *shrug* So this Christmas my needs are simple - pretty things and reading material Oh, and I want some songbooks now that I've found a keyboard in one of the closets - I know the basics so it's only a matter of having some GOOD sheet music (ie stuff that I actually listen to, not Fur Elise or Chopsticks) to teach myself the rest. |
