Hello to you!
I hope you all had a WONDERFUL xmas & boxing day, mine was lovely!! I'll do a post very soon about some of my favourite presents when I get time as I got some really great stuff & it was great to see some of my long-distance family members after such a long time :)
As I have a very big family, it is hard to see everyone at once. Tomorrow I am going up to Yorkshire until the 31st to see my lovely cousins & spend a few days up north. My cousin Chloe has just got back from doing some journalism work in Iraq, and I'm really looking forward to hearing some of her stories. On the 31st, I'll be travelling from Yorkshire to Huddersfield to stay with some twitter friends until January 3rd! I'm so excited to see everyone, especially as it will be the first time I meet one of my bestest friends.
Christmas is always a super busy time for me, and trying to juggle coursework and revision and my job around seeing family & friends has proved to be a challenge indeed! Around this time of year I always feel incredibly grateful, as life isn't always easy but I know I always have my friends & family as well as a lovely home. Presents are a bonus too of course, but as I get older I am starting to appreciate the less material things in life! (That being said, I still appreciate the material things a lot - they just become less important than the memories & experiences I have grown up with).
I'll do a christmas haul post as soon as I get my presents a bit more organised, hopefully it should be up within the next few weeks! What did you get for christmas this year? Does it feel any different to you as you get older? Let me know in the comments!
