Christmas has come and gone, and this christmas didn't feel like Christmas really, I guess because everyone was stressed, because traditions were broke, and all that jazz, but that's okay.

On Christmas Eve we always go to church, and this year I was very happy with doing so, We drove out of the city to go to mass with a priest who isn't just a priest to me, but a childhood memory, friend, idol. It was really cool walking into the church and having him yell my fathers name and come up to us even though he was in a crowd. It was just really nice to see him, of course he didn't recognize me at first, its been a few years since he left. It was just a comfort to fall back into old memories.

This was taken on Christmas Eve, note the red to be festive = P

After Church we came home and exchanged our secret santa gifts, my older brother had me and surprised me by actually getting me something really cool. There these speakers that light up and change colours with the sound of the music. Its also really cool because I've been bugged with how quite my laptop emits sounds. I was really happy with that.

Normally after that we track Santa on Norad Santa Tracker, and my dad did that for me : ) And after that traditionally my twin and I crash on my brother's floor for the night so we all wake up on Christmas at the same time, really early, and wake my parents up. This year my brothers didn't want to do that, yeah I know I'm bigger, but that still takes away from Christmas for me.

I was the first to wake up of course, I was up a little before five, traditional Christmas morning time = P but I stayed in my room talking to my Jorelle on the computer until six before I turned on the lights in the hallway and waited for my parents to wake up, it worked = P then my brothers appeared. We then headed down stairs, without our usual take pictures on the stairs, which I miss, but that's okay.

That's my dad, he enjoyed my present wrapping : ) As you can clearly see it also doubles as a moustache decoration.

We then opened up our presents, I was really happy that everyone liked what I got them, since I put extra thought into them, especially my older brother's, I was really scared he wouldn't like it, but he was so happy with it . : 3

Emma with a bow from a blanket I recieved, she looked like Marie the cat from Disney's Aristocats, so for the rest of the day she was Marie.
The aftermath of our christmas , more not visible behind the table and on the couch = P

Christmas breakfast, my mom peaking in on my Dad, I didn't dare take pictures of my brother's that early in the morning, I would have gotten eaten D :

I ended up getting some really cool gifts : ) I think the big thing was susposed to be this printer I got, but we ended up returning it because we couldn't get it to work and my dad was getting made at me when I said my opinion on how to fix it, and my brother was getting mad at me for being a dumb ass, and then he yelled at me for twenty minutes because I pushed the button before he was finnished reading, so he stored off, at that point the photo printer wasn't worth it to me anymore. My mom offered for us to take it back, along with some apple headphones I got ( because they were the ones that go IN TO your ears and thats gross ) so we did. I ended up returning the stuff and buying a desk instead of getting new headphones or a new printer, I was really low on space in my room, and my brothers took all the extra free room in our house so I was really excited to get this desk. It's got a bookshelf on the top : ) SOOO HAPPY about it : D I know, I'm a loser. = P
These are the speakers my brother got me, the sound is a little fuzzy sometimes, but there awesome and if I don't want the glowing lights I can turn it off. : 3 These are some "tarot cards" my mom got me, well I kind of picked them out :3 There "Messages from your animal spirit guide" I can't wait to use them : ) I got this really cool tea pot too, its got japanese writing on the tea cups and the pot, joy, faith, peace and love.

Then there was this aboriginal painting my mom got for my from this man that comes to her work. I love it : D It's so pretty.

I also got a remote control bumble bee car from my brother = P He always gets me something transformers. A Princess Belle Mug and blanket, because ever since I was little I was always Bella, or Jenna Bella, and I've grown up being Belle. I got lots of vanilla smelling stuff from Bath and Body works, and moneeey : D

OH AND THIS REALLY AWESOME GAME FOR THE WII, Trauma Center, second opinion. THIS GAME IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. You get to play doctor and perform surgeries, ( which I was a little iffy about ) and it has a really good story line.

We then had the Christmas Dinner with My immediate family, my dad's friend Ralph, he's always here for Christmas dinner because he's own family is always away and he is a really good friend of my dad's, and my brother's ( and sometimes my own :3 ) best friend Jeff, So according to my mother she had we had an adopted grandma and brother to join our dinner.

Then on the Twenty sixth it was boxing day shopping. Mom and I woke up extra early and hit the malls just in time for opening, so it wasn't busy for us. At the first mall we went to I spent 118.84 on stuff I added up that would cost 405.30, so I thought I did pretty good : D Soo happy , I finally got the Victoria Secret's PINK stuff I've wanted for a long time, for more than fifty percent off.

After that we headed to a second mall. We ending up finding this store that sold wigs for fourteen dollars ( their not human hair of course, but still pretty cool) So my mom and I bought a couple, one for her, two for me.

In my favourite one, I think it was really cool, and honestly, I can't curl my own hair so its cool that it can be curled for me . I actually went out the next day wearing this wig : D Its actually a good wig and looks real for what it is made out of.
For some reason, I reaaallly really really like this picture : )

So that has been my Christmas holiday's so far, Now I think I have a week or so left. I'm actually pretty happy with things right now, and really excited because my boyfriend comes home from the Philippines tomorrow : D He's been gone for a whole month and he shall finally be back : D
