This Christmas was not notable as far as celebrating goes - but there were many incredible memories that were made. They should be saved. So here goes.
Christmas Eve was the designated day of gift-giving amongst the members of my mother's side of the family - I received probably the best gift of the season that day from my grandmother: a Sony alarm clock. The reasons why this gift is great include but are not limited to:
- It has an iPod dock that charges your iPod and plays music from it
- You can set your alarm easily!
- It is synced to the atomic clock
- You can wake up to music from your iPod
- The speaker quality is incredible.
- You can control the music it plays using a remote control. And not just like next/previous
Once this portion of the family went back home, some of our cousins from my dad's side of the family arrived. This is where things got interesting. We ended up spending lots of time playing video games and watching youtube videos until the wee hours of the morning for two days in a row. It was pretty fantastic. Christmas morning wasn't terribly exciting, since we had already opened gifts the day before. After we had all woken up, we made the trip over to my grandparent's home, which was quite uncomfortable. My grandfather suffers from Alzheimer's and ended up talking to me about music for half an hour before announcing that he didn't even know who I was. So the rest of my family told someone else to play the piano and distract him so I could escape. It was pretty sad but comical at the same time - you have to be able to laugh at stuff like that. We played pool and then went to go see Avatar. Again. (There really isn't much else to see, and I didn't want to be lame and not do anything so I just went along with them.)
Afterward we annihilated a cube of mountain dew and stayed up quite late into the morning. That was that. There really isn't much to talk about that isn't me whining about my life, and I feel the need to post here, so please forgive the stupidity of this post.
