Both of my Christmases were really neat for different reasons!

First, Christmas with my mom!

We didn’t have a traditional TURKEY DINNER, but all of our favourites that my mom never cooks for us any more. I made the cheese cubed tray and the veggie platter. What can I say, it’s my bread and butter, literally~!

Apparently most of the pictures I took are crappy from this day. This is the first year I went above $10 for each gift lol… so everyone got something nice!

These are the gifts I received, minus the stuff from Ariel. Yes that is PINK toilet paper you see there, and kleenex with flowers printed onto the tissue!!! I know, that may not excite most people but for me it’s AMAZINGGG!!!!

Ariel got me another Hello Kitty plush (I can always use moreee) a silly card, and a pair of earrings!!! Yea I totally just pulled the pic from Facebook cause I don’t have many pix of myself.

Then a lot of sleeping went on in between my Christmases… well and movie marathons >_<

One evening I rented Mr. Pauper’s Penguins (which was cute but the storyline was very weak), then Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen was on TV, and after that Memoirs of a Geisha…

I think I’ve watched enough trash TV for an entire lifetime now!

The next time I really even remember there being a day was Boxing Day, because we had Christmas with my dad on that day!

We just had some snacks and treats, talked. The usual… Then PRESENTS!!!

My dad got me the wine glasses I was looking at in October hahahhaha yess!!! He also got me earrings, but they were broken, so we had to go return them before my train the next day.

I was worried because someone mentioned that my dad got seasons 1 and 2 of The Muppet Show…….. and I had got him the first season T_____T Before he told me he only had #3, turned out he still just had #3 so I was SAFE!!! I was e-mailing my sister back and forth before Christmas trying to figure out what everyone was getting him, cause I saw a book, but if others were getting him books I didn’t want him to get ONLY BOOKS for Christmas. We watched a couple of episodes and the HAIR on the female guests is HILARIOUS!!!

And now this is stuck in my head eternally…

Hope you enjoy it too LOL…

Its weird to go back to the place I grew up after so many years. One of my sisters doesn’t even come because she feels like a kid again when she’s there. I feel it a bit, but only because I’m thinking of dumb stuff that happened in the past when I lived there. Mainly high school crap that I don’t really want to think about. There was only 1 evening where my younger sister didn’t hang out with me late at night and I started thinking about all the crap and how in many ways I still feel a bit shackled to that aspect of my past. I need to learn to go to bed early so I’m not left alone with my own thoughts too much.

It was a green Christmas this year, but as soon as I was waiting for my train back to Toronto, the rain turned to snow…. and the snow greeted me in Toronto. It was both craptastic and magical all at the same time. I’m actually still on vacation, I only have a shift on Saturday for NYE and then who knows how much I will be working in the new year? Anyways I don’t have classes until January 11th, so I still have a fair amount of time to relax~!

Weeellll sort of. I would consider where I live now home more than my mom’s place where I grew up.

I’m here getting all my appointments out of the way first and relaxing after. I just came on the train on Sunday night and I’ve been very busy ever since, helping my sister Jen start and finish her Christmas shopping in one day. I just had one more gift to get, so I’m really happy about finishing today!

We went to the mall and saw the mini train set up there. It was pretty neat as always.

So cute~!

Supposedly I’m having my Christmas with my mom tomorrow and with my dad on boxing day. The joys of having split parents! Between those days I’m really just going to relax and enjoy my holiday~!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS~!
