Dulce Navidad
I have mixed feelings about Christmas this year.
It was good. I was happy. It just didn't feel like Christmas, though. It was like any other family gathering, this one just had presents involved. It kind of sneaked up on me unexpectedly, at least that's what it feels like. I don't want this to keep happening, I need to feel the holiday cheer in me, hold on to what still makes me feel like a kid. I don't want to go into that, so I'll just let it go.
I did feel like a kid in a way. I mean, the only thing I really wished for was either Pokémon Diamond or Pearl for Nintendo DS, and I got Pearl. I was so giddy and happy. I started playing right away and only reluctantly stopped about three hours later because I was all filthy and the family was coming in.
Among the other presents there was money, iTunes and Borders gift cards, a froggy cover for the DS, cute jewelery, a pink traveling case for my laptop, a flat iron that I don't know why I asked for and the weirdest of all: a pack of post-it notes. And these weren't just any post-it notes, these had messages like Passive Aggressive; In Total Denial; Complete Narcissist; Depressed; Obsessed; and Addicted printed on them. I don't know what my mom was thinking. But I guess they are useful...
Oh, and as I have been watching Pushing Daisies for about two weeks and became obsessed, my incredible cook of an aunt baked a pie just for me, the pie I'd been bugging her about for a week, my first real pie. That and Pokémon were all I needed to be happy and I truly was.
I hope everyone had a nice Christmas.
