My first Christmas 13 degrees above the equator was rather delightful...but bizarre.
Woken up by my little brother, who leaped onto my bed and started screaming something like "WAKE UP! IT'S CHRISTMAS!" at 6:20 am.
Ate a breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, scones, & mangoes. Weird not having the usual pancakes...
Then just as my brother's present opening excitement elevated...my dad got called into work.
So, he was forced to wait until 6pm...to open any presents. Torture.
Went to the beach, on the way the van stalled on the highway and as soon as we pushed it to the shoulder it started again. stupid van.
Got to beach and this killer telephone poll that must have been broken in the last typhoon got caught in the surf...and decided to smash the top of my foot.
the best part is it may be broken.
When presents time finally came around i got...
-an MP3 player that looks like a jellybean :)
-Some shirts I wanted
-Money...the exact ammount i do not know...
-Driving Lessons (i almost had to pay 215 dollars out of my own pocket)
-a pocket knife?!
-$20 Amazon Gift Card
...other things i cannot remember at this time...
I hope everyones xmas was very merry!
