The Post-Christmas Blog
Don't you just hate that four day period between Boxing Day and New Year's Eve? You know, that run of days on the 27th to the 30th where not much happens?
People are back at work, some are still with their family in far-flung destinations and most are too full from Christmas food to get up out of their chairs.
So we are consigned to spending most of these days indoors. To make things ever worse, the top-quality television is over and replaced by some sub-par films such as Princess Diaries 2 and happy Christmas songs have been axed from radio playlists.
I think I've cracked what these days are to be used for. They are to be enjoyed through the eating of more food, the drinking of more soft-drinks and alcohol and playing with those recently received presents.
I'm testing out my new laptop cooler, how exciting!
What did you get for Christmas? How will you spend this period of four pointless days?

The Christmas Blog
Its Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiistmaaaaaaasssssss!
That's right. T'is the season to be jolly.
I know that it is still three weeks until Christmas but I am very much in the festive mood this year. Since the age of about 14, Christmas has become less exciting as the priorities of the day have shifted away from receiving presents.
However, this year seems to be a different kettle of fish. I attended Kingston's Christmas light switch-on for the first time in ages and I brought a hot chocolate from Starbucks the other day and it came in those lovely festive red cups.
Upon finishing university on Monday, I walked into Kingston town centre to purchase a present and card for my Dad's birthday and I decided it would be wise to begin my Christmas shopping.
I went into HMV and, after much searching, I brought Rihanna's new album for my sister. I expected the shop to be empty at 5pm but I ended up queueing for around ten minutes. And they say that we're in dire economic straits...
In addition to these exciting events, it also snowed in the UK today which really emphasised that Christmas is just around the corner.
Excitement is building, I have my MA Journalism Christmas party on Monday and a big friends of the family meal next Sunday.
Christmas should be celebrated in a jolly manner, so be merry and pleasant over the coming weeks.
