It's Christmas! This morning we woke up to wonderful stockings filled with presents from my parents. My one included:

1. A Love Hearts stamp.


2. Snow Fairy Magic Wand bath bomb from Lush.


3. Whitard's Very Very Berry tea.


4. A year's subscription to Elle.


5. An iTunes gift card.


6. A Lindt gold reindeer.


7. Giant buttons (I've missed Cadbury's chocolate so much).


8. A giant bottle of Snow Fairy shower gel from Lush.


9. A handy glasses cleaner keyring.


10. A tangerine.

Here's what Tom, my Mum and Dad got in their stockings too.

We headed downstairs to open even more presents from under the tree. I made Tom a plush of the Dodgesaur which he loves so much.

Here's the amazing things I got:

• This Book WIll Change Your Life from Mum & Dad.


• Pink cat coin purse from Jim & Christine.


• Pencil iPhone stylus from Jim & Christine.


• Drumstick lip gloss from Lisa.


• Subscription to US Elle from Dad.


• Cake forks, bucks fizz and chocolate from Nana.


• Vintage Tea Part book from Lisa.


• Floral pasta bowls and a pasta machine from Roddy & Lynda.


• Geisha tweezers and chocolate from Louise.


• Jewellery from Fiona.


• Mini Santa from Jim & Christine.


• Monsoon gift card and hairband from Mum & Dad.


• Lip conditioner and voucher for a makeover at Mac from Mum & Dad.


• Batman Arkham City game for the PS3 from Tom.


• Shoe forms and a voucher for new boots from Mum & Dad.


• Almond mini gift bag with body wash and body butter from Lisa.


• Pin-up girl tins filled with chewing gum from Lisa.


• Handbag hanger from Lisa.


• Banjo playing cat from Grandma.

We then rushed back to my house in time for Christmas dinner, which I was helping my Mum cook.

To start we had a cranberry, walnut and goats cheese salad served in hot homemade bread bowls. They tasted so good and will probably become a regular Xmas starter. For our main course, we had a Quorn roast with two types of homemade vegetarian gravy, homemade stuffing, roast potatoes and roast vegetables. We set fire to a Christmas pudding for dessert.

We then pulled our homemade crackers and read out our homemade jokes.

Here are our jokes, just in case you'd like to reuse them:

• What did the couple who were fighting over desserts do? Have a custardy battle!


• What is someone who parks cars wearing a tutu called? A valet dancer!


• What do you get if you boil a heart throb in a bag? A George Clooney dumpling!


• Why did the campers get so angry about Margaret Thatcher? The pole tax!


• Why did the napkin only eat protein? It was on the napkins diet!
