a new and glorious morn!!!!
Merry Christmas everybody. :)
I was all alone in Florida at this time last year, so this was my first waking-up-on-Christmas-morning-with-the-family Christmas in what feels like ages. It was wonderful. I was worried because I wasn't really "feeling Christmassy" over the past few weeks but really... that's such a dumb thing to try to do. You just kind of have to let it come.
I'm so glad I got to be home for Christmas... I really do love my family and enjoy spending time with them and I know that's a rare blessing. We might not get as many presents as a lot of kids but it always seems like more than enough because everything always means so much more.
But speaking of presents!!!
um yeah... I got a freakin IPOD NANO!!!! 2GB, so I kind of had to pick and choose my music, but I think I'll survive somehow.
Anna got me A Series of Unfortunate Events on DVD, and Laurel got me The Thief and the Cobbler, in this really super amazing special edition with a POP-UP CASTLE in the front of the SLIPCOVER. yeah. amazing.
My parents also got me a pair of really nice sewing scissors, and a Narnia calendar, and a plastic case and radio transmitter for the iPod. Oh, and a wonderful assortment of leg coverings: two kinds of stripey kneesocks, one pair of argyle kneesocks, a pair of argyle legwarmers, and a pair of houndstooth leggings. yup, houndstooth. So I am all set!!!!
Merry Christmas, everybody, it's sure been a good one. I love you all!!!!
