yay christmas!

It's been a really nice couple of days chilling with family and catching up with friends. I really love Christmas. I wasn't ready for it when school ended, mostly because I spent Wednesday climbing and buying porn. Climbing was amazing though. Chelsea piers is amazing. If i ever have money, I'm totally getting a membership. Yeah so I totally wasn't ready for the holiday but then friday morning my dada nd I tore through the mall and get basically everything we could ever need. The only thing that threw me for a loop was that Dan sent me a present so now i need to think of somehting for him. Damn boys.

Yesterday I got to hang out with karen for a while and then my family went to Mass. I never wanted to be a Christmas/Easter catholic but that's what i am at this point. I still enjoy the ceremony though and I like being there with my brothers cause we start singing "jeramiah was a bullfrog" when the choir cues up Joy to the World. And we poke each other. Something about being at church makes us act like we're 10.

Me and Mikey made chocolate mousse last night that came out really well. Usually we make creme brulee but we decided to branch out. Then we get to open one present christmas eve so mine turned out to be an iHome which is pretty sweet. Mikey and E opened the one i got them which was a mini billiard table and a back massager. And it was great; my family just sat around in the living room playing with the billiard table and chatting and listening to my ipod. Even eric who usually runs away from family stuff.

This morning we were pretty slow getting out of bed. Me and Mikey finally had to go up to erics room and poke him with sticks (yardsticks) to make sure he wasn't dead and get him downstairs. Christmas loses some of the excitement as you get older. Most of my presents were extremely functional. Santa even left a bag of over the counter drugs from the medicine counter in my stocking. We're talking sexy stuff like imodium and band aids. But it did get a climbing harness and some nice clothes which i'm excited about and my mom will probably take me shopping at some point.

Since then, I've done nothing except eat the left over cheese and crackers from breakfast and watch clerks I and II in a row. Eric got Ninja Turtles I, II, and III so at some point we'll probably fire those up.

So yeah, break is awesome. I saw O Malley a couple of times before he went off to Germany, I saw Sarah a couple times which is great and I'll get plenty of Karen. We'll head out to pittsberg thursday to see the family and all the little ones (my dad and I had to buy presents for 11 children under the age of 7). I am so chill and I can't wait to start packing for uganda.
