my mum made it really magical
we had Christmas eve presents, by-the-bed-first-thing presents, table presents, pudding presents, santa/family presents, stockings and then boxing day presents. all co-ordinated and planned out. plus croissants and champagne for breakfast, full Christmas lunch, and proper Yorkshire tea. no way is anyone replicating that.

which is why we fuck off on holiday instead and forget about it all.

alt: probably the holiday every year.

No wonder you're such a spoilt brat.

at least the other kids at school didn't mock me for being a hippy beady beardy weirdy love child

No, they mocked you for your deep voice and big hairy hands

no, they mock your kids for being different
and for living in a yurt with a goat instead of a car.

You're joking, all the other kids are well jealous of little tangle's goat and yurt

i never thought i'd like it
but turns out Christmas in the Caribbean is pretty enjoyable. although it always freaks me out to see the Christmas trees when you land at the airport; somehow it doesn't quite go with palm trees and turquoise sea.
