what a lovely day

I swear Christms day is the like the longest day ever....I'm so glad it is over. I enjoyed spending time with my family, but still it is always nice to get back to normality.

This year seemed to go better than the last few years. I guess my family are well and truely used to the fact that I don't eat xmas dinner. Sometimes I feel grateful for this as it means I am left to my own device and therefore don't have to think of excuses to not eat. However, sometimes I feel sad that even my family are in on my ed. They don't offer me chocolates, mince pies or anything considered enjoyable. This makes it easier for me to continue living as I do. Not that I blame them. It just makes it harder to even imagine being any different.

Christmas used to leave me feeling really down. I never understood why. This year that feeling stayed away until the end of the night. I put that down to tiredness more than anything. Spending a full day with my nieces and nephews - eight of them aged between 4weeks-12 yrs old. Surely that would tire anyone out!

So all in all Christmas in my world was good.

My two year old nephew proudly stated as he was leaving "what a lovely day" and I couldn't agree more :o) x x x
