::A Very Merry Christmas to All::

Ah yes, Christmas Day. Instead of knowing the joys of snowfall, me and my fellow San Diegans are getting rained on. All good. I'd like to wish everyone a blessed and relaxing Christmas. I hope you guys received some wonderful presents. I know that I'm more than appreciative for all the wonderful things friends and family have bestowed upon me. And to all my friends who aren't feeling too great because of that gross bug going around, I hope you take the time to recuperate so you can feel much better. I, myself have been sick for more than a week. Thank goodness I only now have an annoying cough.

Well moving on, I had fun yesterday. I can't say that I did a whole lot. I dropped off a few presents and took some time to catch up with friends. Brenna and I got to see Charlene again. I always miss that girl. She's so full of effervescence. Not in that bubbly, airhead, kinda way. She's quite refreshing. I've always loved hanging out with her because conversation is so upbeat. She has an infectious, positive, personality. I'm so thankful that we've known each other since middle school. We had a genuine girl talk. She's at a happy point in her life and I couldn't be more excited for her. After seeing Char for a bit, Brenna and I rolled over to Minh's. We didn't stay long, but it was a nice way to wind down the evening. I'll say that the presents we gave to each other were, "entertaining". I'm not sure how else to put it. After that, I invited Brenna to hang out for a bit at my house. We ate a little. We watched, "The Nightmare Before Christmas". I love that movie. Then I dropped her off a little before midnight. I visited Mike, and gave him the wonderful baked goods Brenna hooked up. Then I attempted to go to Midnight Mass alone. It was CRAZY!!! I've forgotten how much a big deal Midnight Mass is because I was working the past few years, and just ended up going the next morning. I honestly don't like dealing with large throngs of people so I decided to pass on church and I went home. I got back home around 12:30, and everyone was awake. We ripped open all our presents. It was cool. I got the orange controller I wanted for my Gamecube and Mario Kart Double Dash. My younger brother got me the new Alicia Keys CD. All in all, I got more than what I expected. It was nice. It was even better to see that my family liked all the stuff I got them. That's a good feeling.

Well today, I caught the 8 AM mass. I kinda sat in the back corner. I took this opportunity to speak to God and Christ in my own way. I got back home, to find that my dad had cooked MORE food. I'm going to be a blimp when the season is over. I have a few more things to drop off later in the day. I'm going to see Jenn today. That's going to be so very nice. She's been in Japan for the past 3 months, working abroad. I've missed her. We never really have a whole lot of time to hang out. Anytime we can make for each other is a good time. I was going to try to catch a showing of Cold Mountain, but this weather is making me think twice. We'll see. Well that's all I have for now. Again, I hope everyone enjoys their holiday. Take care of yourselves and each other. Peace and Blessings.

Random Blurb: I still need something to do for New Year's. I just want to shake it like a polaroid picture.
