Macy Day Parade

So today all us lucky english interns got to join in the Macy Day Parade at Universal! We were going to have one balloon with us all one, but we were divided into the parade.
I got to be an escort for the one and only Santa Claus himself at his sleigh at the back of the parade. WHOOOOP!










So we all arrived signed up and put our most amazingly attractive various coloured jumpsuits on and wandered around the park to recruit guests as fellow balloon handlers. During this time all the TNA wrestlers were preparing for filming...and i bumped into THE kurt angle. I have no idea who he is, or appreciate how famous he is, but i've been told people would be jealous so i thought i would share my blind dumbness when meeting a celebrity.




It was pretty awesome to say the least. Although i didn't have a balloon i felt well special standing next to santa's sleigh. As we walked through the park, just watched the excitement on the little kids faces to see THE father christmas HIMSELF, they were all frantically waving and shouting his name it was SOOOO cute. There was even this adorable lil girly trying to copy the dance moves that santa's lil helpers were doing. It's the first time i felt christmassy and felt that xmas was coming.

So it was all excitement and fun....


(this uniform is better than my shrek uniform anyway)


But now, 6 hours later...i feel a lil homesick, and i just been reflecting on past xmas's, and what ill be missing this year.

• The annual christmas meet with my school friends at St Bees on xmas day to play on the swings.
• Falling asleep on xmas eve to the noise of my mum stuffin presents into my stocking on my bedroom door.
• Waking up with my bro and sis and sitting on my parents bed to open our stockings
• After opening presents downstairs, trying on all my xmas presents and stuff, and then after gettin ready , being with my family, smelling the turkey cooking and listening to old fashioned christmas carols. My mum in her silly tartan pinny.
• Going out in Whitehaven in silly fancy dress on the friday before xmas, xmas eve eve, xmas eve and boxing day, and then new years!!!
• Getting ready with my friends before our nights out, drinking and chatting in spoons or cat, then ending up dancing the night away in galls and senny's after cocktails in shakers, shots in jpjs and browns, and meeting everyone in north.
• Sitting with my sister, stealing her clothes and joking around
• Fighting and shouting with my brother about stupid stuff that means nothing
• Opening the first of the xmas presents at the sunday church family service, and watching the xmas play.
• Fancy dress at the church xmas party, playing the games, the buffet and sophie singing and dancing

Its pretty depressing i won't be at home for this stuff....stuff that i took for granted. Christmas Day will be horrible without my friends and family, and i will deffo appreciate it more next year!!!!

So...i need a mission....all suggestions are appreciaited!
My apartment are probably all working over xmas day, so we are going to go out or cook a meal together in the evening afterwards, and we are getting a tree to decorate and tings. We are going to have a great day together and be each others family for xmas day.

Also when my family get here we are having our own xmas day.

The only thing missing is my friends from back home.



I hope you all enjoy ur holidays and get what u asked for, but don't take it for granted, enjoy every second, including the arguements.
