I flew down to London to spend Christmas with my friend Jye and his mate James. It was such a wonderful Christmas, despite the fact that it was the first Christmas any of us had spent away from our families. Jye worked Xmas Eve, so James and I shopped for food, decorations and decked out Jye's flat with cheap tacky snowmen and mini trees with flashing lights. It was also the first Christmas for Ugly Christmas Jumpers! YES. I have two, one with flashing christmas lights and the other of Santa Claus riding a velociraptor. I also purchased a Will Ferrell Elf t-shirt for the occasion incase it was too hot for woolly jumpers all day.
It was also our first time cooking a Christmas dinner. We had chicken instead of turkey, we bought stuffing and gravy but still managed to cook a mini feast resembling a christmas dinner. Sure the broccoli was overcooked, potatoes were still hard and looked a little unappetising, but I think we did a pretty solid job. Not to mention we were all drunk and dancing to Beyonce the majority of the day so major props to us.
Also it was our first European winter and not a single drop of snow. Disappointing UK, disappointing.
It's fabulous to celebrate Christmas in London and it's so exciting to have turkey for dinner with tasty gravy so it makes a Christmas celebration more enjoyable. short stay parking gatwick
