Nearly Christmas!!!

Its nearly Christmas again! I am heading to Nelson for the Christmas holidays this year. We head to Nelson every second year, and spend Christmas with my grandparents. Every Christmas in Nelson, we all (all of us being my parents, sister, grandparents, Mark and Kim and my cousins Hailey, Sharni and Chelsea) stay the day in my grandparents house, and give each other funny nicknames and tell random stories.

We have a few traditions in nelson for Christmas. We always have Italian Christmas food, like meatballs as well as turkey. We also wear our Christmas hats all day (the ones we get in the Christmas crackers). And on Christmas eve, me and Katie end up staying up really late talking, reading and playing games. When we wake up in the morning at about 6am, we wake up our parents and grandparents and we run down the stairs. Katherine has her presents on the left side of the room and I have mine on the right.

When we celebrate Christmas in Wellington we do things a little bit differently. We have two courses of food, an English course (Turkey, potatoes and yorkshire puddings) and then an Italian course (MEATBALLS!). Our Nan comes over and the five of us spend the day together. Me and Katherine open up presents early in the morning and we spend the rest of the day doing stuff with our presents. We always open up our presents first before playing with them/eating them.

This Christmas their are a couple presents I really want like...
  • Lots of manga!!! (Hetalia, Alice in the country of hearts, bleach, black butler, pokemon, attack on titan, etc...)
  • Rune factory 4, for the 3ds
  • Homestuck books
  • New Converse
  • Chocolate!!!
I hope everyone has an awesome christmas :)
