You see I'm coming round to that way of thinking.
Let me explain, Christmas had preceded as usual, Xmas eve fight between parents, problems resolved through a good nights sleep, heavily buttered toast and bucks fizz. Then came the massive dinner. Very good stuff, highlights include sausage stuffing, cauliflower cheese and my sisters attempt at bread sauce (milk with onion lumps in).
Understandable everyone was a bit stuffed and some members of the family went for naps. So we put off present unwrapping. This would prove to be a flawed plan as my sister then revealed she was going out for the evening and since the aforementioned fourth family member was asleep we would not be able to open them till she got back. No matter we thought, it will make boxing day something more than the day after Christmas, we were going to see Sherlock Holmes as well.
Oh well, i could wait. Especially with some 21 year crazy 40% dutch drink in my belly.
As I'm sure you've guessed it didn't work out that way. Oh no indeed, it is currently 23:28 and i have only opened two presents. One of which was two magazines produced by the met office (My mothers mother has a peculiar attitudes to gifts).
I shall attempt to sleep now, though the incredibles on iplayer is helping.
