11:14 PM

I wish I could name this feeling, but I can't. I am all jumbled up inside and can't figure out why, or how to fix it... Right now, I maybe, just might, bah I don't know. I just need someone to listen. However, t'is life, and "the thing to do... is not be scared, but to learn..." (Atlas Shrugged - read it!) So I'm trying.

Christmas in a nutshell

-Leslie and Jessica woke me up at 6:30. In the morning.
-Did the presents thing.
-Left for O'leary, hmm, probably 10:15ish
-Went to the farm. My family + Gram and Gramp, Patrick, Justin, Ron, Theresa, Florence, Darcy, Rachel, David, Marion, Steve... hope I'm not missing anyone...
-Christmas dinner at the farm... mmm :D
-Watched some old home movies
-Did the presents thing
-Left about 4 for Gram Daisy's. My family + Gram, Patrick, Christopher, Ashley, Mary, Pat, John, Jason, Michael, Stephanie... again, hope I got everyone!
-Did the presents thing
-Christmas supper
-Left about 7
-HOME @ 8ish :D

Somewhere in the midst of that, I heard way too much about my relatives sex lives, learned how to best beat someone up, got a glass of wine spilled all over me, stuck my foot in my mouth (several times) :P

Christmas Eve!!!

Christmas Eve :) It took an inordinate amount of time for me to get in the Christmas spirit this year, but I finally have :) I think it was deciding what to wear to church tonight... maybe it sounds silly, since I'm not a big church goer, but there is nothing better than going to a small community church on christmas eve... the whole family is going to corpus christi in Glenwood, and we're all getting dressed up for it. Last year, the whole congregation ended the mass by singing happy birthday, and the priest brought out a birthday cake. I love going to such a place where this is possible...

There is no snow yet, but there is still time.. It's not *truly* Christmas without some snow...

Tomorrow will be a little different as we celebrated last Saturday with my Dad's side of the family... I can't think of a Christmas when most of us haven't been there... So I guess that a few of us will still go, but it will still be a change... Either way the day will be spent with family... and that's the way it should be :D

And on that note, I shall sign off,
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Last day of classes. Finished First Aid and CPR yesterday, and now all that stands between me and Christmas vacation is a 3 hour WHMIS session.

All finished Christmas shopping...

Christmas dinner at Chris and Pat's tomorrow... without Chris... go figure...
