It is my birthday tomorrow :) and I am rather excited!! I have a friend coming over and I also asked my mum to make me a pass the parcel... I'm totally not turning 17 tomorrow.......
Now, as much as I love the snow it has rather cocked up my plans for tomorrow... well a little but I think I will live!
To start off with my brother had rather nicely booked me my first driving lesson on my birthday but due to the snow it has had to be cancelled... for obvious reasons. But yes, I can live with that as it's not the end of the world!
Secondly, I was planning to have 3 of my friends over for a sleepover but now only 1 can come... just like last year! But really the snow is not to blame as it is the ice which is the problem and I can totally sympathise with my friend's mum not wanting to drive in the snow! But really the second friend that is now not coming has nothing to do with the snow!
Never the less, I will have a good time and I will see them another time :)
I would invite other people instead but I don't want them to feel like they are second best if you know what I mean even though I would have liked these people to come in the first place but we simply don't have the room!
Lastly, I would just like to add that the ICE made me fall flat on my bum the other day when I was watching down my hill... not cool! Like I said at the time to my sister... if it is possible to break your bum, I think I did! Although I clearly didn't as I quickly forgot about it after a while as it stopped hurting!
Regardless to the snow now ruining a few of my plans I did have a great time sledging the other day... however I was a little bit pissed off when my BRAND NEW sledge which cost £20 (expensive!!!) got a hole in the bottom of it after just 3 goes down the slope! But the be fair it was probably when I couldn't stop and then went off the end of the slope and landed the other side of a small drop on some snow covered stones!
But I think I will try and fix the sledge as I am not going to go out and buy another one... and I can always use the other one that I went and bought too. Although my sister might moan... but I don't care haha!
But I am afraid there was no snowman/woman/animal as I was too cold after sledging to go outside! So that will have to wait until next time :)
I don't think I am the only one who is a little bit annoyed that the snow didn't come a week later that it did because then we would have had a white Christmas... shame :( I would have been so happy, but then again it may have stopped me seeing my Dad which would have sucked!
Now I'm not sure where we got our association of snow with Christmas because it rarely ever snows at Christmas in the UK... but perhaps its just an association with Winter or Santa or something like that!
My top 5 favourite things about Christmas:
1. The Food - Got to be THE BEST thing about Christmas! There is always lots of great food like turkey, pigs in blankets, mince pies, Christmas pudding. And towards the end of this week I shall be attempting a ginger bread house... hopefully that will go well :S
2. The TV - TV at Christmas time is always so good! There are loads of great films like Elf and Horton Hears a Who. And also Christmas specials of our favourite TV shows which are (usually) good!
3. The Christmas Tree - Whenever it is time to put the Christmas tree up it really does put me in the Christmasy mood! Always a good thing!
4. Family - So I admit this is an obvious and perhaps cheesy one, but what would Christmas be without family! This year I am at my house for Christmas morning and Christmas lunch (and I will persuade my family to play monopoly) and then in the afternoon I will be going off to my Dad's house which will be great too :)
5. The Music - This is a bit like the tree but whenever I hear a Christmas song it really puts me in the Christmasy mood and I can't resist a little sing along :)
