(Pretty much business as usual but I'm bored so bear with me)

Stuff that happened:
- All the foods. Might have a bit more soon though.
- Presents:
From gf: writing/letter paper, nail polish, gingerbread toffee, Greek honey, tea. (Oh, and the card. That was one of my favourite things. ¤3¤ And that adorable drawing of Three and Delgado!Master and Jo too uwu bbies)
From sister E.: An African hedgehog plushie she made. It's called Edgar and is adorbs.
Family in general: tights, transformer mittens/fingerless gloves, hair clips, some underwear.
Brother: Screen cleaner and wipe... Is this a hint? (my laptop did have filthy screen though so fair enough) x'D

Also parents got a DVD player from my brother which is their first proper one. The old Playstation they've been using hasn't played most DVDs for several years now so this is great (I'd have got them one if I wasn't so poor, srsly)

So, Christmas Eve is drawing to an end...and it was a nice one, financial depression or not. :9

Mostly this can be seen in that our Christmas tree is a bit smaller than usual, which means the star isn't horizontal against the roof. And also we didn't stuff ALL the decorations to be found there as usual. How boring~ :'D

Later, in chronological order, there was rice porridge, sauna and dinner. And then of course gifts. Me and my sister/s also found time to annoy my brother sing through the books. :3
And watch a few movies on tv.

Talking about those. Madagaskar was...cute enough for your basic childrens animation The lion and the zebra are just really good friends, shut up mind, whereas Tokyo Godfathers was plain awesome.
Too bad I missed the first 30 minutes, but all the more reason to buy it later. :D
It's a story about three homeless people, an alcoholic man, an okama and a girl who's run away from home, who find an abandoned baby (on Christmas). They try to find the babys parents, and...stuff happens.
The movie is just gritty enough to not be too sappy, while being...well, basically a fairytale, with a happy ending. And while ugly things happen, and the characters are fallible, most of them are shown to have something good in them nevertheless. In a word, it's adorable as anything. ¤_¤ ♥ *wibbles*

Later, we're going to church, which is my family's newest Christmas tradition. This is about the only time in the year we go there, ahah, so not that religious, but...um, I like the songs. and oggling the medieval paintings on the walls ¤_¤ .
I do realize it's hypocritical, but...*shrug* ^__^;

Christmas eve went as usual...me and my sister decorated the tree with almost all of the decorations we own, food tasted especially good (perhaps because I was VERY hungry ;), there was way too much chocolate (only not) and so on.
There weren't many presents this year, but none of us is so young anymore as to really care so much about them. I did get (among other things) a pretty calendar with images of japanese woodcuts (yay).
Oh, and we saw the police stop Santa Claus on the road, which was a bit unusual. :D

And later me, my father and younger sister went to church. That was also as usual, slightly boring despite my best intentions to stay alert, and singing the hymns being far too much fun. I just can't help really rather liking those songs...
