This is my review of Christmas day in the Rad household. I’m writing it late, because I Was so full of food, and I just fell asleep.
It’s always nice to spend the day with just the four of us, even though the kids don’t particularly appreciate that. We did stockings from Santa at 8am, opening up some high quality items from Poundland – including the first of the truckload of chocolate we received.
Then we went through to the front room for the big presents. Mrs Rad got lots of nice lego and we had a few Switch games including Sonic and Mario Wonder. We tried to play Mario Wonder together, but unfortunately, the quality of gameplay thatI can produce spoiled it for everyone.
Then I went on the make the Christmas Dinner. I hadn’t planned a stream but I saw the go-pro and went live. IT was nice to be able to say hi to everyone on Christmas Day. Something went wrong with the turkey, IDK, it wasn’t cooked when it was supposed to be, so I had to microwave a couple of pieces so we could eat it together – then we had the rest in sandwiches later in the day.
Radling 2 had been given a wooden Concorde, which we built together – that was a cute very ‘dad’ thing to do. Mrs rad did the gluing though, because who can be trusted?
Living in the city centre, our tradition has been to go to the only shop open – Starbucks – for a Christmas drink. It’s nice to walk through the city on a quiet day.
In the evening we did a Whatsapp with my dad, who lives about 70 miles away, that was nice, and it’s important to remember family at this time of year.
My big present from Mrs Rad was a chocolate fountain, which I built and we plied with chocolate. That was great fun, but also filled me up and I think that’s what sent me to sleep.
