Christmas Prep part 1

I say part 1 as I'm sure they'll be more to come...

Also this is a first 2 posts in 2 days from me?! Anyway Christmas is aproaching and it seems about to get festive. So I am currently back at my families' house until this evening so we can sort out decorations and the family xmas card (more on that later) and so we put Christmas decorations up yesturday, not the tree unfortunately as we couldnt find the base for it (yes it's a fake lol). But today my mother came across it so now the tree is up with lights and now we are just currently waiting for my sister to come home from work to help us put up the Christmas tree decorations. And speaking of work I need to soon talk to Budgens to get a Christmas job. I dont know if I ever mentioned this on here but while I live with my friends in Pottergate in Norwich I don't have a job. Thats right I am surviving on student loans and grants alone. BUT I VERY MUCH NEED A JOB! So this xmas holiday might be full of me working which would be great as I would much like some money. But I would also still like the freedom to go back and fourth from here in Briston and back Norwich whenever I feel lol Also my friends from the village will be back from there universities, so I'd like to see them and of course I would like to see Fern. Well hopefully I will earn some doh and still please everyone by making appearances.

Anyway back to the season of holly and whatnot. As for Christmas gifts I have only just started. So far I bought my sister and Fern but that is it! And both were over the net (Which looks like all my shopping is going that way as of the weather here!) I now just have to buy for my mother, father, possibly some extras for the previously mentioned and my friend Jonny (but Im just waiting for his gift to become available!

Now the Allen family's Christmas card is something I've been designing now for two years and this year is no exception. But the previous two years have been my drawings of the great Father Christmas but this year I wanted to design a card using a different character. Anyway here are the last two cards the first one on the right for 2008 and the left one for 2009. Now I wont be putting up the 2010 version yet as I'm going to be giving them to be people, so I dont want them to see them on here!

Anyway thats it so far, see you in part 2 or the next blog or whatever...
