The best bit of Christmas is the gap in between the event and the end of the holiday. That is now. Presents are being put away and the tidy up commences. The only niggle for me is New Years Eve and it's forced reminiscences. My family are getting together for a short early do but it's just rather than doing nothing so there's no pressure to live it up. I have my son on the EVE since I don't drink anyway. 

But for now I get the free time to do as I please like I did yesterday. I went to the cinema and watched two films in a row and then played Modern Warfare 3. The time is going a lot quicker than I had expected though. I thought I may be twiddling my thumbs at times but that is simply not the case. 

I had a Christmas pudding with brandy sauce that tasted really strong and was still not at all tempted to indulge after. People tell me it's a really good move but couldn't actually do the same. I've been there. 
So before I have my son again later, I shall watch some stuff and read a bit if I'm strict on myself.
