Where Are You Christmas?

It all started on Christmas Eve, December 24th... I got up for work like any normal day, so it didn't really sink in til after I got home around 1pm. My dad was kinda silly and decided to save his shopping for the day before Christmas. Once he got home from work, we headed to the mall and did his last-minute shopping. Compared to other years, it went pretty quick and he was able to find exactly what he was looking for. So, we headed back home to do the wrapping. My mom didn't come home from work in a good mood, but that's nothing new. Dad got lots of wrapping done for her, so that seemed to cheer her up a little bit. Then it was time for church. It was a little weird since my sister and her husband weren't able to make it this year, but still all went well. It was good for them to be able to spend more time with his family, since there are multiple days with our relatives through-out the holiday season. After church, we all met up at my parents house for some yummy gingerbread dessert. Then it was time to dream of sugar plums...

Christmas day suprisingly went well too. Those of you who haven't known me for awhile know that this is a first for several years. I'm betting it's because no one was coming over yesterday. In other words, there was nothing to get ready for or clean the house for. We weren't rushed through opening presents or anything. It was very relaxing. We spent the afternoon playing Uno. We spent almost 2 hours playing the same hand! It was insane! It was a lot of fun though. Anyways, now we have my dad's relatives coming over for Christmas tonight and my mom's relatives coming over tomorrow. Now is when the real fun begins **sarcasm** Wish me luck everyone, I'm going to need it. My mom has been flipping out all day to the point of my depression returning. Once again I say, I hate Christmas. After going through this year after year, I dont think I will every like Christmas again. And I have my wonderful, pessimistic, border-line insane mom to thank for that.
