Wow, procrastination

Well, here I am on New Year's Eve writing a post about Christmas.

I really need to quit doing that.

My Christmas was really great this year. It hardly felt like Christmas until the 24th and 25th. It was really weird, but almost all the family was visiting, so that was awesome.

At around 5:30 on Christmas Eve, me, my parents and my brothers headed off to church for the children's Christmas mass. I love the children's mass because it's shorter and more lively. It's always very loud because of all the screaming children. I love it.

After church, we headed over to my grandmother's house to hang out. I hung out in the living room with my brothers and cousins watching Christmas specials on DVD. It was all good. Except that my godmother brough the hellspawn (her daughter) with her. For the record, I do not like the hellspawn. I mentioned her in one of the first posts I ever made on this blog. She hasn't improved at all since then. If anything, she's gotten worse.

So, she was there. But I mostly ignored her, that may sound mean, but it's really better if I do that. Four of my cousins were there, and they were pretty entertaining. The youngest one, who's about three I think, bounced around the room and kept spilling chips everywhere. Her sister wandered around with a singing Frosty the Snowman doll-thing. And they both loved my camera, as most of the kids I know do. My two other cousins, 8 and 12 (about), talked about books and ipods.

After the party was over, me and my immediate family went back to my house to open presents. I got episode DVDs, the Dirty Minds board game (entertainment for get togethers), sweaters, a calender, and a pair of clothespin chopsticks. The chopsticks look like a clothespin with a very long end. I guess it's for beginners (like myself). I haven't had a chance to use them yet since no one has bought any noodles yet (that's the only thing I eat with chopsticks so far).

Christmas Day dinner was at Nanny's house, and supper was at my other grandparents' house. Santa visited my other grandparents' house for the my three youngest cousins, that was cute. I was teased about not having a boyfriend, everyone joked around, and a good time was had by all.

Nothing has really happened since then. I'm on Christmas break from college until the 5th and I've been using my free time to watch movies and endless hours of TV. It's very relaxing not to have to worry about school and assignments. I like it.

Another thing I've been up to is putting more effort into learning Japanese. I haven't played the My Japanese Coach game in a while, I have to get on that. Before I start playing the game again, I have to learn the hiragana and katakana alphabets. I didn't bother to learn them while I was playing the game and that's just made everything more difficult. I'm pretty good with the hiragana, but the katakana is another story altogether.
