Every year my friend has a party which is normally held on Boxing Day IE the day after Christmas. This year he had to hold it the day before Christmas Eve due to his work schedule which made for a very tired Miss Ash come the 25th as I had another gathering on the 24th. It's been one get together after another and there are still a few more coming up this week, I'm absolutely knackered just thinking about them. I'm also not 19 anymore and after that first party I was a complete lump of uselessness all day long. I wasn't hungover at all, just sooooo tired! Apparently getting in at 4am after some cocktails is not what adults should do if they want to accomplish anything the following day; Especially when that day is Christmas Eve eek!
I've been eating like an absolute pig ... literally, all week! I went to PP's to visit some friends and it was all I could do to keep my pants done up and on! There were cookies and cupcakes and cake and pavlova (yummmmm).....she even gave me a plate to take home (cause that's what I need) and a yummy spicy shrimp dish! Sooooo good but I'm soooo full!!
So it's been a busy holiday and will continue to be so for the remainder of the week it seems. It's funny like I want to complain about it and whinge about how tired I am but if I really think about it....how lucky am I to have such great friends.....to have lots of wonderful people to visit and have laughs with and share good times and fatty foods with it makes it all worthwhile! For some people this is a terribly sad time of year and it's all they can do to get through the holidays, so I really am a very lucky girl! I know a family who suddenly lost a loved one a few days before Christmas which is really awful and I can guarantee they are far more tired than any one of us. Tomorrow we say goodbye and I can't even imagine the depth of pain they are going to feel, but they will be surrounded by loved ones and great friends and maybe even some fatty foods, though I'm not sure any of those things will help.....
......I am a very lucky girl!

I'm glad you are having a busy and happy holiday, despite the abundance of food. lol That sucks about your friends who lost someone. My brother in law lost a dear family friend this week too, which is awful anytime, but especially now.
I can't stop eating. Holidays are overrun with food and parties.
I'm not gonna think about it till February.
Jlee, it is awful anytime but you're right, this time of year makes it even harder for the families.
Berly, ha! I have to think about it now, I can barely due my pants up!
I'm sorry to hear about your friend's loss. That's so sad.
I hear you about the food. I feel like all I do is eat. Tonight I've got a party to continue it too.
I went to the gym today to try to counterbalance but I think all it's done is increase my appetite and I want to eat more!
I have no regret about all the good Christmas cookies I consumed.
Good on you. Eat all you want.
This time of the year doesnt make me sad necessarily but does make me anxious for whats next to come.
Lemme give some advice. Just because it's the holidays, doesn't mean you have to lift your ass outta bed to go visit people. Stay home. Sleep in. Use the time off to relax.
Yay for busy and lucky - you totally deserve it, sweetie!
I'm with you on the overeating though - thank heavens for sweatpants!
Cxx
Christielli, I know I got on the scale at the gym today and went WHAT?!?!?! It's not just this week, I've let myself eat whatever for the past oohhhh month....
