Christmas Day
@ 2:29 pm on 26 December 03
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and got everything they hoped and dreamed for. For once in ways, I did. And it was nice. :)
The familia got together on Christmas Eve and ate snacky type foods (this is something you can expect every year. Than after we had stuffed our tummies we went into the family room and watched TV for acouple hours talking about random stuff. At this point we were waiting on Seth (my younger bro) and his gf, Sammy to arrive. Seth and Sammy had gone to her parents and grandparents first.
In the meantime mom and I had went upstairs to wish Aflinger (our 5ft long iguana) a Merry Christmas. After we pet her we ventured off into her bedroom so she could show me what my Uncle Ahmed brought me from Egypt. (Heh, yes I think its damn cool that my Aunt Silvia snagged herself an Egyptian man).
So, its this thin rare paper that for the life of me I cant recall the name of and on it painted in golds, blues, blacks and various other earthtone colors is the Spinx and pyraminds. The painting is so, so beautiful!
And mom showed me this awesome necklace that Im dying to have~ a Nefertiti necklace, like what she had worn. Mmmm. I think mom is considering giving it to me because I love Ancient Egyptian times.
Once Seth and Sammy arrived we all tore into our gifts. Usually I buy alot for everyone this year I just bought a 1 gift for each person.
For my mom I got a antique style standing gumball machine w/acouple refills of gumballs and a Ty Beanie Baby named Bearon (this bear represents 100 yrs of flight/aviation). My mom is a pilot who just got her license back earlier this year.
I got Dad a super nice leather money clip by Tommy Hilfiger. Simply because I couldnt find the cool Fossil brand one he wanted. Ahh well, I tried.
I got Val (older bro) a George Foreman Grill and Seth (younger bro) some coffee type thermos dealy that you pump the coffee out instead of pour *shrugs*.
My folks always set aside acouple hundred dollars for each child. Heh, you dont know how much I love that. Ive got some cool fun stuff over the years. And this Christmas was no different. :)
I got myself a new digi-cam. OMG!! This one is so, so, so, so nice. *drools*. For a chic who is so into new gadgets, technology and PCs this is a dreaaaam. Almost had an orgasm right there with how cool this cam is. Heh.
And lets see, what else?
8 Dale Jr Christmas Ornaments, a Dale Jr desktop calendar, White Shoulders perfume and a snowman ornament, gift certificates to Blockbuster and Borders, a lava lamp type deal that looks more like a capsule with greenish liquid with a floating alien body (heh, this would be the 2nd most awesome gift because of my obsession with alien type things), snowman slippers, a turtle shaped clock, Dale Jr coffee mug with Nascar shaped chocolate cars.... and I cant think what else. Maybe thats it.
From Rog's Grandma (Ruby) and his cousin (Dolly) I got a bath gel set in apple flavor... mmm it smells so good!
From my Aunt Judy I got 3 small journal type books with Winnie The Pooh and Tigger on them! Yay! I love Tig and Pooh.
Rog got me a cool Dale Jr Chicago All-Stars car with hood.
Summer got me a beautiful cross necklace. This is so, so beautiful and 3 scented candles in cool jeweled boxes.
Heh, and goodness. I cant forget what my friend, Jacky sent me. It came on Christmas Eve... aww just in time for Christmas!! What was it? My sex toys!!
I cant remember who I was telling about it the other night on the phone but with all the speeds and things this one can do Im hoping I dont have a heart attack from pure ecstacy! Wooo!
And in earlier entries if your a regular reader Im sure you read how this Christmas Id like nothing more than to finally be able to give my mom a hug without shying away. Guess what? I gave her a hug. Not just one but two hugs. Thats like such a huge accomplishment for me-- you have no idea. It was really nice. I cant really describe it but god it felt nice. :)
Christmas Day, Summer woke up and of course tore through her gifts. This time I didnt go overboard with presents. I gave myself a limit. I figured she would see the few gifts and be disappointed but she wasnt.
She got tons of stuff from everyone though. As always.
We went over to my parents for Christmas Dinner and had lots of yummy food~ turkey, ham, mashed potatos & gravy, sweet potatos, scalloped corn, green bean casserole, stuffing, rolls, homemade cranberry sauce.
Once again the boys stuffed their guts. Heh, Val ate so much he could barely walk and when he did he made it over to the family room and collapsed onto the couch. lol
Seth followed him but went for the floor by the tree.
Summer opened her gifts from Santa (yep, he makes 2 stops in this familia lol) and she got her guitar. Heh, I dont think Ive seen her so excited. Its an acoustic, pretty nice looking. I bought her acpl months worth of lessons for now.... should be fun. Hope she sticks with it. That would definetly be cool.
When I left the folks house lastnight I gave my mom another hug and even gave dad one too.
I got home and sat some things down about to call Anthony when Rog handed me the phone and it was him! I guess he had called 15 mins beforehand and Rog kept him on lol
It was so great getting to talk to him. We both have avoided the phone due to our arguments but last night was great. Made me a happy gurlie. :)
I just wish he couldve been here with me...
His mom wished me a Merry Christmas. Aww I thought that was really sweet of her.
Anyways, I should hop off here and go venture out for abit. Have a good one.
