My family are absolutely nuts. Need proof? Here ya go!
For starters, my Granny Fraser - my mum's mum - calls our family a 'tribe'. Well, I say family, but the term kinda relates to close friends as well, so if you're in the tribe, you're pretty special :)
Granny also insists that my dad, my sister and I join her and Granda for Christmas lunch every year - hey, I'm not complaining, Granny makes the most AWESOME Christmas lunch in the history of ever. Mmmm, roast tatties XD
This year must've been a struggle for her, though. Not only did she have to cook for herself and Granda, but also me, my dad, my sister, her fiance, my uncle, his fiancee and her mother! I must say, Granny had the biggest turkey I have ever seen!
So after the lunch, we're all feeling a little lazy and a bit too full, but oh dear, Granny reminds us that we haven't pulled our crackers yet! With an epic, but a little half-hearted - we were all that full - struggle, we manage to get the crackers done, and oh no, Mick (My sister's fiance) has a bouncy ball in his.
Now, Mick is very much in touch with his inner child, so surprise surprise he starts bouncing the thing around his patch of the table. My Granda seemed to find this really funny and somehow ended up tapping the bouncy ball with a spoon, which somehow turned into Mick and Granda playing spoon-bouncy-ball hockey. Somehow almost everyone at the table got involved. It's weird, playing hockey with spoons and a bouncy ball turns out to be pretty fun ^-^
My idea of a perfect Christmas has changed these past couple of years; I really couldn't care much less about presents. What I love about Christmas now is spending time with my insane family... that, and Doctor Who!
