We're having a blinding Indian takeaway tomorrow night, and a cosy night in.
He did offer to take me out, but everywhere at this time of year is either twice the normal price or heaving with drunken twats on xmas nights out.

I've already had my presents, so the rest of the day will probably just involve chilling and hanging out with family and friends. There had better be cake though.
