I have returned from the Hawke’s Bay, and I am wearing christmas presents!

I am wearing:

“Bogan Baby” tee shirt, made by my sister, featuring the world’s awesomest nephew (mine!) wearing a shirt I brought him from Wacken and looking totally kreig
orange shorts from H&M
Skully tights from Jessocles in Sydney. I loves them, thank you Jessocles!
work boots
lapis lazuli beaded necklace, from my Mom.

I’ve had a wonderful couple of days chillin’ with my family. We had 14 people over for Christmas lunch, and my mom managed to cook the most AMAZING Christmas spread (turkey, ham, THE WORLD’S BEST STUFFING, salad, potatoes, peas, bread, pickles, gingerbread cookies, pavlova, trifle (well, I made this, and it was yum), jelly, fruit and christmas pudding with custard. She did all this with minimal help and while still being involved in Christmas fun , which officially makes her the best mom ever.

I was, as usual, spoiled. My folks got us ACDC tickets and a new towel set. CDH’s folks got us English comedy DVDs (apparently it’s blasphemous I’ve never seen Porridge or The Two Rhonnies or One Foot in the Grave), and tickle me elmo gloves (Why, oh good lord why?) and a lovely dining room table so we don’t have to eat on the floor. CDH brought me a multi-colored drawer unit for my office (it’s seriously awesome and I’m enjoying filling it up with stuff) and a Hammer Horror book, my sis made us both Bogan Baby shirts. Friends gave us trinkets from England (skull pens and pewter tank statues FTW), a book on Greek cooking, an outdoor lantern and my new skully socks.

I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday so far. Mine is filled with writing and more writing. And then I take a break with more writing. But seriously, have awesome fun, whatever you do and wherever you are. Stay Kreig \m/

Horns Up for the Holidays!
