#flat christmas

[governed-by-sound-reason]

Just had a lovely Christmas meal with uni friends. I'm pretty sad it's our last year together. On a happier note, @radagastians is a beast in the kitchen. The food was glorious. Like, amazingly-glorious-and-she-could-totally-do-masterchef-or-bake-off glorious.

Today was flat Christmas day. The Miracle on 23rd Hanson Street. 

Lame jumper gifting and domesticity and walking and shopping and roast dinner and calls for fluffy potato recipes and 40p bottles of apple and raspberry soda and hugs and love and cheesy songs all day and silliness and losing Scrabopoly and losing a sandwich (tragedy) and losing and finding a glove (yay) and I feel so lucky to have friends like these. I know they are now few and often restricted to this little group, but I am so happy in their company. 

I haven't worked at all, have barely done anything for my essay, but I am so happy and my sweater is jingling and I feel bright and shiny.

We had flat Christmas last night.....

We decided to have a flat Christmas so we could celebrate together and swap our secret santa's before we all part over the coming week to go home for Christmas. So yesterday we all ventured into town to buy fake snow and stencils for our window - it looks SO cool now - and a tonne of food for our Christmas dinner. We bought -

A 75 piece starter platter - which included cheese straws, little pasty things, cocktail sausages and sausage rolls

A turkey filled with stuffing with bacon on the top

SO many roast potatoes

Loads of vegetables - including brussle sprouts (eugh no thank you)

Pigs in blankets

Yorkshire Puddings

Lots of gravy

AND THEN......

A strawberry and champagne gautaux

A Baileys cake

And a 60 piece dessert platter - which included, strawberries covered in chocolate, doughnuts, brownies and chocolate eclairs

The whole making of the dinner was really successful and it was SO yummy. It was really lovely to sit down and have a meal together. We pulled crackers, wore those delightful christmas hats and laughed a lot. Then, after washing up and singing along to christmas songs, we swapped secret santa's. Everyone did really well and managed to buy presents that were really nice. My secret santa was Duncan - the flat mate that I argue with the most - but he bought me some really lovely soap and a bath bomb from Lush which smell delicious -despite him wrapping it up in about 50 different layers.

We then watched loads of episodes of Family Guy and just hung out eating ridiculous amounts of dessert. It was a really lovely evening and I'm going to miss my flat mates over Christmas.
