jackThe second week, we visited Grandfather in Scorton (a little village between Lancaster and Preston, in Lancashire close to the west coast. But we're all Yorkshire by heritage), and to see mum's side of the family.
We go to my Uncle and Aunt's for Christmas day. They always have what I think of as a proper Christmas, a big meal, shiny house, although now I'm grown up mum and I agreed we actually find it a bit tiring, and might rather get drunk by ourselves. Maybe I should invite my parents and grandfather here next Christmas.
I have several presents that aren't very exciting, but I wanted and wouldn't have bought, such as a large rucksack for when I want to transport Everything in Tesco or All the Board Games Ever about, and if I ever go camping will be useful. I irresponsibly pre-empted them with several presents to myself in November/December that were still being tried out, such as a lot of books, and a graphics tablet.
