Merry Christmas everyone!! Edinburgh is something else during the holiday season, I feel like I'm in a movie and not real life as a winter Christmas is still such a novelty! All the films show Christmas with everyone wrapped up in their woollens and scarves and beanies as they drag around all of their christmas shopping and that exactly describes Christmas here! The christmas lights wrapped around the old buildings look INSANE and I just love how even more beautiful this city looks. 

I had an absolute blast on Christmas Day! I took the bus down to my friend Billy's house and ran through the pouring rain to his flat. I was absolutely drenched by the time I got there and used a hair dryer to get myself warm again. We had so much food and SO MUCH WINE and then more food and more wine. We later walked down to Sian's house for even more Prosecco and Cards Against Humanity before I got so knackered and drunk I could have passed out. Somehow I found a taxi at 1:30am and spent a fortune getting home. NO REGRETS.

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.
