Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! A day late.

Yesterday was a ton of fun despite the fact that we didn't do too much! As usual, I woke up around seven thirty and kind of layed in bed for awhile, trying to stay warm and to soak it all in. Another Christmas. Another year has passed in what seems the blink of an eye...It's a funny thing how the older you get, the faster time goes. Anyway. So after about fifteen minutes of laying there, I finally forced myself out of the bed with the prospect of a good day, complete with warm cinnamon rolls and gifts.

It was nearly eight when I made my way to the living room. It's a small room, with a small tree, but the atmosphere with the Christmas lights and the veiled surprises under the tree made me all giddy as if I were five again.

Fortunately, my parents woke up at that time and the three of us went to work in the kitchen to make some scrambled eggs and icing for the cinnamon rolls that my mom had cooked the night before. Breakfast was really good, but of course I enjoyed most the opening of gifts...

I hadn't been looking forward to it, really. I wasn't expecting anything, either, since we had been low on money lately. But when I woke up and saw the presents, I couldn't help myself. It wasn't much, but I really enjoyed what I got. My parents know me so well! I got a new pair of skateguards to protect my ice skates (I'm a figure skater <3) and a few odds and ends that I love. A new shirt, for instance.

The day wrapped up very uneventful after that. The usual lunch/dinner, but we didn't really go all out. Just a nice little ham and some sweet potatoe casserole. I love that stuff!

Just another day in my life. Nothing too eventful :)
