Merry Christmas! (and a happy New Blah...)

Gifts received this year (and I was very spoiled):

An Italian Barbie doll

Several t-shirts from Hot Topic, Wet Seal, and Aeropostale

A gift card

A blue net book (from my dad)

An exercise ball

A stuffed cat

I really wasn't expecting the computer. It's making me guilty; I thought it'd be a small Christmas this year. But I named it Minnie.

I had to stay at my grandparents' house for Christmas Eve. For some reason I find it difficult to sleep in the same house as anyone who isn't in my immediate family, especially if I'm on the floor. Don't ask me why. I maybe got six hours of sleep. And don't you dare laugh; I like to sleep,

so six hours is hardly sufficient. My relatives have the worst sense of humor. They're all a bunch of prejudice, racist bastards. Except for a few of them who rock. At least that's over with and I got to eat part of a cinnamon roll.

When we left we opened our gifts from Mom at our OWN house, thankfully. Man, does my mum rock. Now I have a t-shirt with two tennis balls on it and one is saying to the other, "You got SERVED!" It's adorable! And my dad was beyond generous this year. (With the net book and all. Plus he bought collars for our cats. Mao Chu looks quite handsome in his and Willow is charming.)

But you gotta remember that Christmas is about Jesus, not Santa Claus. (That's another thing that bothered me. I'm thirteen and my grandpa expects me to believe in Santa. He's a freakin' stalker, man! He sneaks into your house at night, and he's all about commercialism, ya know?) I'm thankful for our Savior's birth and his incredible sacrifice for the whole of the human population. It's pretty awesome if you think about it a little.

So, Happy Christmas and New Year, everywhobody, and I hope your year has treated you well. I hope it was as good as mine, if not better. Love you all. <3
