| I'm enjoying being a lazy slob before the rat race begins again. Are you all enjoying christmas or is it a nightmare for some? |

I'm enjoying it now that we went to my mother-in-law. Christmas with my dad turned out to be a proper nightmare. He and my grandma basically quit the family or something. They're not speaking to either my brother or me.
Right now in alone with in-laws dog and that's quite nice. |

| Yesterday I had dinner, then chocolates, then crisps, then a leftover sandwich (at about 3am). Life. Is. Good! |

Haha guess they're part of the tradition. Don't care too much for them myself but received a box from a colleague at work and got a tin of them from Ireland. Would be a shame to let them go to waste ;) |

| I usually love Christmas, but I didn't feel the christmas-y vibe this year and I spent the 25th and the 26th listening to my ex's family complain and fight with eachother. And I really hate when people scream and shout and fight over nothing. So yeah... Sort of a bummer. I'm still hoping for new year's eve to be better though. <3 |

I agree with Kristy. They are not at all the nicest chocolates around and yet they are SUCH a tradition here...as are Roses which are slightly better I think. |

I saw a knockoff store brand of Quality Street the other day and almost had a meltdown. If you aren't even going to shell out money for the real thing, how bad are the fake ones going to be? |
