CHRISTMAS: Memories, Food, Family and Presents!

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas - I can't believe it's already over! Where did the time go?! Despite it being the same time every year I do find it creeping up on us and then before you know it, it's all over!

Spending time with my family has been my highlight this year, as we get older it's so hard to get us all together at the same time. One of my brother's still lives at home (in fact it's his big 18th birthday early In January - where's my little brother gone?!) so I get to see him a lot but my other brother in living down near London doing an internship. I see a lot less of him at the moment, so it was lovely to get everyone together! Tom and I decide every year that we won't spend Christmas together, which I prefer. I love Tom but for us Christmas is still very much a family time, so we both wouldn't want to be away from our families. As our families live about 2 hours away from each other we couldn't possibly see them both on Christmas day. I've always wondered what Christmas day is like at Tom's house, so when I got an iPad Mini from Tom I discovered the whole new world of 'FACE TIME'! It's the strangest but best app ever! Tom took me on a tour of his house, I could talk to his family and see how his family decorate their house for Christmas - face time is the best!
