Spending Christmas with a family other than your own has it's advantages and disadvantages...I mean I feel more at ease to get drunk here (lol) but at the same time I find myself missing my parents...
Christmas should be a time where we are all together but as my parents disapproe of Claire that isn't going to happen...and it hurts...I am here with Claire's mum and dad in Penarth when at the end of the day I want to be spending it with my family...until they can accept us though that won't happen..
If this makes minimal sense I apologise..I am drunk and emotional...QE11 is on the tv giving her speech...I have had some Bolly...some Stella...some wine...I have watched TV...I have eaten...I am happy...yet above all I want my Mum & Dad...
I think they believe I do this to spite them...I don'...but Claire is my partner so I can't not be there for her...I do want to be there with them but until they accept that Claire is a large part of my life too it won't happen...
On a more positive note Gill and Bryan are fab...they've bought me a stocking full of presents and ave fed and watered me...
Yes, hard as it seems to believe I am enjoying myself...I am loving my Christmas...but I can't wait for my Boxing Day with my own family...the main reason why I am here though...is to wish one and all a Merry Christmas
