It 'Twas the Night Before Christmas...

Happy Holidays! And New Year too!
I think that you ALL want to know how my holiday went. If I were you, I'd want to know. The day started off pretty boring. I read on the couch (Ripley's "Believe It or Not's!") until lunch time, when I had a wrap. Someday, I'll give you the recipes for The World's Best Wrap, Fudge Puddles, and Mexican Mocha Cake. Mom was hectic, running around cleaning, doing the usual mom biz. Dusting, vacuuming, stressing, the whole bit. I was sucked into the Vortex of Holiday Mom. I dusted, vacuumed, and stressed too. My great-grandmother came over in mid-afternoon and sat on our couch. Everyone else came later, and they couldn't hug us :-( because they were loaded down with presents! :-) We ate dinner (lasagna, chicken-something-or-other, salad, BREAD, and rice. I ate most of the bread. Tee hee! :-) We opened presents after watching home videos. Those are some horrifying memories. I'm pretty sure my family could use those old Christmas videos as lethal weapons against me. In list form (I like lists!), and in chronological order, these are the goodies I got.

1. $25 to Icing (Claire's)
2. lotion, shower gel, fuzzy socks
3. a Munny (google it), and $25 to Target
4. a winter coat, and Bristlebots
5. $50 TO AEROPOSTALE!!!!!!!!!!!!

My family left, we cleaned up, spread some food for the reindeer on the snow outside, and left Santa some chocolate cookies. And eight carrots! Santa doesn't like carrots, so I wish I could've seen his face as he ate them! He only eats carrots if they're boiled and have butter. My sister woke me (and everyone else) up this morning when she yelled "SHE'S HERE!!!" My mom worked last night, and we couldn't go downstairs until she came home, at eight. Here is another list. Aren't lists so wonderful?

1. an orange iPod!
2. new binders
3. a history of Blondie (the comic)
4. an Aeropostale sweatshirt from the 'rents, along with Aeropostale jammies
5. there's more, but it doesn't look so cool on this list
   

My grandparents came over at ten, and I got more presents! A giftcard to Damien's Dancewear, more fuzzy socks, a bracelet, and earrings. I think I made out pretty well this season. What do you think?
It's not really the presents that count though. I've thought about it a lot. I was glad to see my little cousin, and my other relatives. There were certainly some more weird memories made. Actually, many more than I care to remember. Yikes... Now we're all chillaxing in new pajammies and watching T.V. Here's to you and yours! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
