Christmas Eve and day

Christmas Eve on another late so before work me and Debbie went to Rhodes to get our Boxing Day food as having another Christmas Day and Coles wasn't as busy as what I thought it would be. At work was nice we had lots of discharges so their could go home for Christmas and once left we only had 15 patients. But we had one patient go home without his medications as didn't listen to us and wasn't happy when we phoned him to say forgotten it and couldn't come back but luckily his friend could come back tomorrow. When finished work it was raining and had to wait 30 minutes for Debbie but I had no umbrella so got to wet.
Christmas Day all three of us at work today on an early and didn't want to get up. It didn't feel very Christmassy where we live probably because where we live is mainly Asians who don't really celebrate Christmas. Also at work didn't feel that Christmassy even though we had our Christmas decorations but no music playing not like at home. I feel back in England we celebrate Christmas better on the wards as all patients get a present but not here so just felt like a normal day for them. I got a Christmas present from Mona just some hand cream which was nice but felt bad as not got her anything. We did get our Christmas lunch provided had choice of turkey or ham I had turkey but was not the best like plastic, also veg frozen ones which were cold and no roast potatoes. For pudding was supposed to be Christmas pudding or fruit and custard but no pudding left so had fruit was just cocktail fruit. Throughout the day it had rained most of day and even had thunder so when walking home with Debbie we got very wet even though had umbrella and feet so wet might aswell not had shoes on, Bianca luckily got lift back as finished before us.
When got home was time to get changed and then open our Christmas presents think I had the most presents. I got some lovely presents a camera, pandora charm, Toms shoes, cardigan, a calendar with the family on mainly off Ellie. From my friends Rachel got me a silver clutch bag, Nat got me some bracelets, hayley a star scarf and picture of godsons, the girls got me a Michael Kor Estée Lauder make up set in a nice shiny bag. I have also still got some presents to come as awaiting Ruth's we got Bianca a panettone since half Italian think she liked. Then Jen and Lisa arrived to take us to Jen's for our Orphan Christmas, which was for all the Orphans staying in Sydney over Christmas who was lonely and looking for a good time. At the Christmas shack (hot tub included) got dinner, $10 Secret Santa gift and a pool to lounge in and hot tub. All we had to do was volunteer a favourite dish I took along cheese and biscuits as didn't have much time to make something. Bianca and Debbie did ginger biscuits and pigs in blankets or lamb blankets as used lamb sausages not pork ones. When got there was about 15 of us in total and I foolish start at the table with the fruit and cheese so kept nibbling at it with Jen's homemade mulled wine. Our main food was ham, roast veg and potatoes, bread sauce Jen's delicious gingerbread stuffing and some Chinese dishes was so much food very nice. Then had to have a rest before dessert unfortunately we couldn't use the pool or hot tub as was still raining. When time for dessert we had mince pies, Christmas mini cupcakes and pavlova berry yoghurt dessert which was delicious had to have two portions. It was then time to swap Secret Santa gifts which was just a token gift to swap on the day I got a chocolate scrabble set. We left about 10ish as the Debbie and Bianca both at work tomorrow got a taxi back and it was a very enjoyable first Christmas in Sydney. When got back I spoke to Sharon on Skype before I went to bed and phoned dad to wish him a happy Christmas then was bed not before watching a Christmas film on TV.
