So this is Christmas

Another year another boost to the economy with the most commercial holiday known to man. Am I complaining? I guess so. I haven't been a big fan of Christmas since my family moved from NH to AZ when I was 12. It just didn't seem like Christmas as I would swim outside instead of gathering around my grandmother and cousins.
This is my first Christmas away from my family. I got the presents in a box in the mail. I opened them that night. I got a pretty good stash. I tihnk the gifts I gave were pretty good ones too.
Christmas used to mean so much more when I was a kid. It was getting up as early as I could after a night of tossing and turning in excitement waiting for morning. My sister and I would run downstairs, we had to stay in the hallway, and call for my parents. We would all go into the livingroom and open gifts. After a big breakfast we would all get ready and head to my Gram's house. Everyone would be there. I'd play games with m cousins while the adults talked. We'd eat then go home.
This year I woke up at 1pm, had already opened all my presents, ate some cinnamon rolls and took a shower. With the rest of the day I might work on more lesson plans, but will most likely play Sims2.
Well I guess I better get started on slacking off. Who knows when I will be able to do so again (I'm thinking Spring Break.)
