i had a good christmas. i enjoyed seeing everyone. christmas eve was spent at tim's house with his family. there were some fiascos, but it was alright. his mom started a fire in the dining room with an oil lamp candle thing. ironic considered his dad was a firefighter. we went to my grandparents yesterday as we always do on christmas day. then we went to see the aviator. it was so good. leonardo dicaprio is so good. seems i've created a christmas tradition of seeing his movies on christmas day.

i think that's all. i got a lot, so much more than i thought i would. it was just nice to have a semi-normal christmas for once. last year was a huge ordeal, and the year before that my dad had a heart attack. so it was just really nice and uneventful. i hope you all had a good one too.
