Merry Christmas!

We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas, and a happy New Year!

...Yeah, apparently I'm using the royal "we" now... Or not. o_O

Haha, anyways! Merry Christmas, my dear readers! I hope your Christmas Eve went well and your Christmas Day will go even better!

I, for one, had a pretty good Christmas Eve. The only thing that could've been better was if my brother hadn't been sick. That's two Christmas Eves in a row now, I think. I hope next year will prove healthier for everyone.

At any rate, I spent most of the day trying to finish a 1000-piece puzzle that was in the living room so I could move it to make gift-unwrapping easier. I didn't finish it, but I almost did. So I moved the poster board the puzzle and its stray pieces were resting on to the dining room while we opened presents.

My dad, for what just might be the first time since childhood, was surprised at some of his gifts. The surprise he liked the best was probably the coffee mug that had a gun for a handle.

My mom's gifts were all on her wish-list except for two of the three things I had gotten her: 2 CDs with kids' songs. I think she liked it. I hope she likes it when she plays it. I know she likes kids' songs in general.

My brother, despite being sick, managed to be delighted at a good many of his gifts. For once, he seemed to be excited about an arts and crafts activity - tie-dying. I got him the dye, but a white hoodie was a little bit out of my price range. He got money for Christmas, though, so I think he'll manage, right?

As for me, I got two new Sims 2 expansion packs (University and Open for Business), half a dozen new movies (including a brand-new copy of a movie I got at a yard sale that didn't work), and books! ♥

Again and again, merry, merry Christmas! Have a holly, jolly Christmas this year! =D
