Merry Christmas, everybody! (or in the dialog of my dad, Happy Holidays!) The previous night was terrible. My parents lounged with me in the master bedroom until an "adult" movie came on. Not only did they send me out to the den, but after a while of my coming back for a bunch of random reasons, they locked the door. So, today, I woke up once, and I intently waited for the anticipation rush to smack me in the face. Nothing came. I was actually tired! But hey, I dropped like a rock in my bed after I made sure the cookies and milk was set out, (or is it milk and cookies?), the presents were all in place so if my parents decided to take one back, I'd notice, and that my holiday spirit was intact.
Well, actually, I had had a nasty case of the hiccups over nine times that day. Not the "oopsie and then giggle" type, but more like the "rabid animal with asthma" type. So, I hadn't gotten to sleep as much as I unwillingly wanted to until I had held my breath like a hundred times.
Today was the big day! After I got up and checked my hair status with my hand, I found that my night cap had completely fallen off. But who could blame it? It's elastic is about as stretched out as my lips when I fake smile for my mom's friends that I don't even know who claim that I've "grown so much". But anyway, I had gotten a little hot during the night, so...I'd taken my new pj pants off. (we have a tradition where we get new pj's to wear on Christmas Eve) But now, I was cold, so I slipped them back on along with my knitted Rocket Dog boots, but then took them off, not wanting to disturb my parents sleeping downstairs. I looked over to the living room to see if Santa had paid me a visit, only to see he had devoured two out of three of our late-baked sugar cookies, and gulped down the milk and left me no presents. Dang old fat dude.
I put my shoes back on and headed to the master bedroom to go get my parents, but only found my mom.
Long story short, I called my dad, who eventually showed up and sat down for what seemed like two hours before he grabbed his camera and we headed to the tree. But stop everything. Mom was upstairs brushing her teeth, so I sat down and picked what I'd open first. After she came down, the wrapping flew. I opened a lot of things, some of which I didn't really favor.
FAVORED: Avatar for wii, the Sims 3, Night At the Museum 2, My Sims Kingdom for wii, My Sims Agents for wii, iTunes gift card, net-book (talking to you on right now) and Wii Fit.
NOT FAVORED: Spa Pedicure Set (which will NOT be used even though I don't want to be rude), heavy blue jacket which I thought was a sleeping bag, and I think that's it.
I haven't opened ALL my presents, and we've got guests near four, so have a great time during whatever holiday you celebrate! I hope I do.
