CHRISTMAS EVE

"Kidnap the Sandy Claws, lock him up real tight"

Throw away the key and then

Turn off all the lights"

I am growing up too fast I've decided. Christmas just isn't as magical as it used to be. Maybe it's since dad left since he used to be the one to always put up the decorations and dress up as Santa. I remember once he even went to the effort of chewing up bits of carrots and leaving them on the lawn to make it look like the reindeer has feasted on them the night before. He would make me and Rachel leave cookies and milk out for santa and carrots out for the reindeer. When we woke up in the morning the milk and cookies would be gone and there would be snow traipsed through the house.

Mum always looked bewildered and angry as she cleaned it up but me and Rachel just giggled because it was so real. It was funny that mum had to clean up Santa's mess. 

Now there is no snow in the house. No carrots. No cookies and milk. Not even a tree half the time because we cannot be bothered. But it sucks so bad because I love christmas and all the festivities but my family just doesn't buy into it so I sit here deprived of pretty lights and tinsel.  

Who know's how Christmas will be tomorrow, I'm just looking forward to New Years so that I can give Simon and Sabrina their gifts. 

Just over a month till I leave for University. God I don't want to go but I can't wait to get away. I am so bored and stagnant at the moment I just need the change. But change is uncomfortable so I will probably complain a lot over the next few months, if I remember to write that is.

That's all for today I guess.
