11 days until I go home for Christmas and I am SOOOOO excited, probably more than the average child! I can't wait to be surrounded by the ones I love and get into the Christmas spirit. Unfortunately here there is a severe lack of anything Christmas related. I mean there are some fancy Christmas lights above El Corte Inglés (a department store), some tinsel and decorations in the shops and I heard
one (yes only one) Christmas song in the Mercadona (supermarket) the other day. But other than those meager attempts, Spain is lacking on the run up to Christmas.
So today I listened to some Christmas music online and almost cried with excitement (sad I know!). I am so looking forward to arriving home and putting up the tree and making my house look like santa's grotto :D.
I have also been Christmas shopping online today which only added to my excitement :D.
It is my 21st this month as well so I am going out for dinner and then out partying with my lovely housemates on Wednesday to celebrate. Exciting! I love spending time with these girls, they have been so good to me whilst I have been here so will be awesome to spend a night together with just the three of us :D.
Partying the other day;
Fun times with the girlies
In the bar
What a fun night we had! A lot of alcohol was consumed (let's say almost a whole bottle of rum between two).. Many confessions shared via the game "yo mai mai" the Catalan equivalent (despite sounding Chinese!) of "never have I ever". It was awesome :D.
That's all for now folks, peace out :) xx
