How was Christmas?

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

Hi all.. How was your chirstmas?

I just got home from mine.



Ours was good.. Was playing pool and riding the quads most of the day in between eating and visiting. My lil one was playing with her cousins all day and did not want to go home when it was time to go, so I can tell she was having fun.



No body really exchanged gifts this year outside of their immediate family (like I bought for my daughter, uncle bought only for wife / kids, etc). Which I dont mind at all.



Tomorrow (Saturday) going to do it all over again with my other side of the family 100 miles away.

Wow! You had/have a lot in store for yourself~ Woah, Glad my family meets at my grandparent's house, five minutes away.



To start, my dad had to wake me up to open presents. One of my presents was this fire bowl that you can start fires in during the winter/whenever. After opening presents, we went over to my grandparents and had ham, mac N cheese, rolls, and much more. Next, we exchanged gifts and opened presents all over again. However, after the kids, including myself, opened presents, my grandma had her own special time to open presents. Some of you may remember, but my grandma has alzheimer disease, well, has had it for a while, but she has really got bad lately. She thought it was Thanksgiving, yeah, she had it mistaken for Christmas. But.. Today she had her own little opening time and we video taped it and took a lot of pictures. Before I left, she gave me a hug and told me she loved me, she even remembered my name. As I left, I was fine, but then it hit me and I realized that this Christmas is probably the last Christmas she will remember, and it really upset me and it has bothered me today, but overall, we had a great Christmas, and if that is the only christmas she can remember, I'm glad that christmas ended on a good note.



After my grandparent's house, we came home and started the fire bowl by putting fire logs in there and then building up the fire with fire wood we chopped up earlier. Had a great Christmas, couldn't have asked for a better one!

Pretty good, First we woke up and opened our presents. I got some cool stuff like a new lap top. Than we went to my cuz's house and gave and received some more gifts. Then we talked, had Christmas dinner and I went home.

I'm exhausted after my holiday.

First was gifts at Momma's on Christmas Eve. Not a lot, just a little rememberance thing.

Hubby and I decided not to exchange personal gifts this year. We just bought for our youngest.

Hubby's truck is in the shop, so I did the Chauffeur thing on Christmas Day. He went to work, and I drove 50 miles away to visit our older son. The youngest looked forward to spending the day alone (he had a new keyboard, lots of junk food, and a 3 DVD set of some sort of wrestling videos)

Older son and I watched Inglorious Bastards (excellent movie BTW) on DVD at his house. I had brought him a huge care package of groceries and household items. Then we went to the opening of the new Sherlock Holmes movie (tooooooo cool for words) Went out for Chinese Food (just like in A Christmas Story) then came home.

Saturday and Today we have had more company--lots of cousins, lots of neices and nephews, lots of aunts and uncles.....I can hardly wait for Monday to come so I can go back to work and relax.

I don't celebrate it, but seeing as work was closed and no shops were open I just chilled out with a few beers, played my xbox and posted around on forums.

My Uncle Jason came over for Christmas... I got a new cell phone, a Monopoly game set, a bunch of movies, and other things. I had fun this year!

I went swimming at one of the largest indoor waterparks in North America on Christmas day. We had out get togethers on the 24th and 26th. It was amazing. Surprisingly, still very busy. I'll see if I can snag some pictures off my sister's facebook.

Basically the same old same old I got a few great games to keep me occupied and I wasted my main item on something cheap that didn't work every year for two years I would get a camera for Christmas and I would never use it due to it not being able to work at the task I wish it to work for. I finally realized that I needed a capture card to fulfill my dreams and I got one as my main present because my mother could pretend it costed alot and it turns out it wouldn't work and it was only 20 dollars
