Happy Birthday, Jesus!!

It's the most wonderful time of year...

YES IT IS! i couldn't sleep for some reason last night. all i could think about was "what in the world did mom & dad get me?"

RECAP: on saturday, my mom and i went Christmas shopping. we had to go to best buy so my mom could return something. i thought it was something for one of my brothers so i mosied on over to the videogames to see if i could pick something out for them, another guitar hero game perhaps. we leave the store empty handed and i asked my mom if she returned something of mine to which she nodded her head. "what could it be??!" my brain racked for answers: a camera, a zen...what?? my mom refused to tell me. it drove me insane up until today when i could finally open my gift. so you can understand why i was tossing and turning last night.

well today was the big day: Christmas! my parents werent done wrapping gifts so we had to wait until about 10 before we could unwrap them. we decided to do each other one at a time so that it was more relaxed, organized, and longer. the 'thing' that was to be returned, i still have to find out but what i got instead were the piano tribute to Wicked and the Wicked soundtrack. my parents are also getting me tickets to go see Wicked very soon!! so that was very exciting/surprising!! i wanted to go see it for such a long time so to finally be able to see it is well amazing. i didnt expect to get tickets because when i snooped (oh, come on! you do it too!!) i didnt see anything from ticketmaster or theatremania in mom's inbox so i kinda dismissed the idea of going to a show. however, i stood corrected and happily at that.

among the tickets and cds i got Celtic Women cd, potc 3 w/ calendar, $25 gc to borders, hot new clothes, a book, curling iron, slippers, & money. it was a simple but relaxing Christmas and this year i felt more excited giving my parents and brothers their gifts than actually receiving mine! i love Christmases like that!!

so all in all a wonderful day spent with family =D






hope your Christmas was as happy and bright as mine. from my loving home to yours, Merry Christmas
