Christmas Eve

Can't believe is now Christmas Eve got up 8am watch last episode 'Hart of Dixie' so not sure what I will watch now, prepared fruit for work tomorrow and chilled. Was thinking off going for a run whilst waiting for Rachel to get up but never got any further than that and Rachel got up 10ish. Eventually got moving 11.30 and not sunbathing weather but needed to get Vanessa a Xmas present as saw one off me from her under tea. So went to Rhodes shopping centre to see if could find anything for her but unfortunately was nothing. Then it was off to Coles to do our Xmas shopping since shut 2days from tomorrow think was there nearly an hour. Haven't spent that much in a while and had that much stuff actually bought the shopping trolley up to flat as far too much to carry. Had something to eat and left after 2ish to go to DFO was surprised only took 20 minutes to get there using train and bus. It looked liked everything else was open now but unfortunately wasn't much choice and few shops now not there. Very disappointing but at least managed to get what I went for Vanessa's Xmas present got her a beaded bracelet. Time then for coffee and cake I just had muffin which was ok but not the best I had, Rachel disappointed with her carrot cake. It was then time to head home to get ready for tonight as going to Tiago's families as their celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve. Once home shower and Rachel not keen to go to Tiago's as wouldn't know anyone but said I wouldn't know that many people as more going who I haven't met. She also wasn't impressed that had to get train and bus to his and he wasn't picking up but he had been working today got there 7.30ish. Went straight to his and after a few minutes left for his brother and sister in laws place in Cremorne was a few people there who not met before. At 8ish their did a service for 30 minutes singing songs and did prays in both Portuguese and English as was another person who didn't speak Portuguese. It was then time for food and was plenty to choose from the main dish been ham was a few sweets but nothing that appealed to me so had none. His cousins little girl was their was only 2 years old was very cute and kept doing hi fives with everyone. It was then Secret Santa gifts which I didn't know about as felt a little guilty as Diego and Gabrielle got me a present a stripe dress was very nice. Tiago also very kindly got Rachel a present a bottle of Baileys which when he wasn't she told me she didn't like, but it was the thought that counted. Then Tiago took me to one side to give me my present which he had chosen himself a beautiful sapphire and silver necklace. Unfortunately Tiago couldn't open his presents from me as we had foolishly left them at his place so he will have to open tomorrow. There had also hidden 2 stickers in the place and their was one under one chair, the gift was heart serving spoons. At the end of the night Tiago wasn't happy as wanted us both to go home with him and said 'No' since Rachel didn't want to. So it left abit off an awkward situation as if Rachel had not been there I would off stayed at his but Rachel wouldn't stay as it wasn't in the plan. Also in the way would off been easier if Rachel had stayed at mine as could tell didn't really want to be there or enjoy herself. Also we had planned to catch the last train home but we ended up missing so had to get taxi back but wasn't sure where we were so Gabrielle spoke to them. Phoned at 2.10 and said would be 10-15 minutes but never showed so had to re-phone and turned up 2.50. Luckily the journey only took 15 minutes to get home and was only $60 which was better than I expected. But Rachel insisted on getting taxi receipt as said only missed train because of Tiago so he should pay, but doubt that will happen. But once in couldn't get to sleep because could tell Tiago and Rachel didn't like each other eventually went to sleep 4ish.
