GOOD MORNING DECEMBER.

It's December 1st, the first day of the month of Christmas and I'd like to make everyone fully aware and bring to your attention that I do not have an advent calender. I would really appreciate it if someone could address this situation immediately without providing any poor excuses with reference to my age group. On a lighter note, we do, however, have a lot of snow that is very beautiful despite the fact it's causing chaos all over England. It's definitely encouraging the Christmas spirit and surprisingly, I, myself am even feeling somewhat 'Christmassy'. It's a little hard not to after you've had a hot shower, you'll snuggled up in your slippers by the fire watching 'Elf', organising your Christmas gifts and it's snowing outside. I can't believe how quickly December has come around but all the same I'm looking forward to the festivities over the next month and more than ready to begin a new year. If I'm honest I feel a little lost this Christmas. It's hit me fairly hard how long it's been since I experienced a real family Christmas. Not only that but it will be my first Christmas in my new home, which will be somewhat strange. Half of me is starting to wish I arranged to spend Christmas in the alps but that would result in leaving my Mum on her own which is not something I want to consider as I'm aware how difficult she finds Christmas as it is. I've already promised myself I'll do my up most to make this year a good Christmas and pull out all the stops however possible but unfortunately I don't have the ability nor am I in a position financially to pay out for over several flights from all over the world. I can only keep hoping that at some point in the near future I'll be lucky enough to have traditional, all-out Christmas celebrations spent with every single one of my relatives.
