Christmas has been over for two days and I’m exhausted.  This years celebrations were seemingly lackluster, but I enjoyed it none-the-less.  On Christmas Eve my sister decided to set up the tree (I still see it as rather pointless…) and I helped set it up.  The rest of the day was rather quiet, my mom and step-dad went out Christmas shopping (why they waited until Christmas Eve, I’m not sure).  I relaxed and played by Spyro The Dragon game I bought on Ebay and went to bed early.

Christmas morning I woke up at 5:30 with the dog sitting on my chest (I think she’s still trying to kill me) and I continued playing my game.  At 11ish, my brother and sister called me up and we exchanged gifts.  I received a couple games I wanted, a new computer mouse (as I wore out my old one), and a gigantic 2lb Rice Crispy Treat.  We then went to my grandmother’s house and everyone cooed over my uncles new son.  Everyone brought their dogs (and we weren’t aware my grandma was watching her sister”s dogs, so there are five dogs running around with ten people in a rather small apartment.  It was crazy, but by 9:00 everyone was tired and ready to go home.

I am so glad Christmas is over for another year and even more thankful that it only lasts one day, unlike the week-long celebrations of other religions.
