Christmas. ♥

Merry Christmas Eve, you guys! We opened our presents today, to avoid stress tomorrow. Gotta say (thanks to Mum, Dad, my siblings, Uncle Jason, and both sets of Grandparents), this was one of the best Christmases evaaaahh! :D

*ahem* Now, here's a list of the presents I got... For some reason, I always do this... it may seem like I'm bragging or something, but just so it's clear... I'm totally not. I just want to write this down somewhere, and pleo's a good place to do it. It's sort of a way of counting my blessings (of course, these are just earthly blessings, but you know what I mean). So there you are!

*****

A bunch of candy. :]

Some candles and Pixie Hollow notebooks from Josh (d'aww... ♥).

A book full of Sudoku puzzles (from Leah ♥), pencils and extra lead (from Julia ♥).

A mug that has a pineapple on it and says "I'm a Psych-o!"

A cute little re-usable cup thingy, with a straw, that's all pink and has a twirly-looking design and a shoe on it!

The scarf I was planning on buying. It's light pink, silver, and white. And gorgeous. I love it!

An owl necklace, and owl earrings. :D

Pink butterfly wall stickers (from Hannah ♥).

The most amazing antique Japanese tea set... Iloveitsomuch! ♥♥♥ Thanks, Mum!

Dad brought home a new TV last night... it's hugenormous, the picture is crystal clear, and it came with a Blu-ray player and it can play 3D. Soooooo amazing! ♥ (thanks, Uncle Jason!!!)

Jonathan bought us girls Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and a collection of Pokemon movies. Thanks, bro! :D ♥

Mum got a mug for our kitchen collection... it's like, all book-ish and colourful, and it says the names of famous authors like Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, ect. I love it!

*****

See what I mean about this being the best Christmas ever?

And Monday, I'm gonna buy some manga. XD

We watched Planet of the Apes yesterday, thinking it had something to do with the one that just came out... It totally didn't, and it was stupid. :P The ending.... Grrr.

Buuuuuut then we watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Ohman. It was SO good. It had a little bit of swearing, and it was pretty violent, but that's really all. Oh, and it was sad... like, really sad. But amazing. :)

Tom Felton played a really dreadful part in it... He hurt the poor apes. -.- Oh, but when he was on his hotel balcony in Africa, reading a script for Labyrinth, he almost got attacked by a baboon. Karma? I think so. XP He's still my favoritest actor, but... He needs to play a nice person in movie. Haha.

On a completely different note, tonight's our holiday party... I'm excited. I just love the holidays, don't you? (:

    Glad you enjoyed the (second) movie, anyway. ;)
    Hope you have a wonderful time tonight!

    I saw the Planet of the Apes (the old one) awhile back... I didn't get the point. It was okay. I could have thought of a better ending...in fact, I think I would have tweaked it right then and there if I'd had the oppurtunity. I'm hoping to see the Rise of the Planet of the Apes sometime...maybe it will be better? ;) Who knows? I'm pretty hard to please.

    Glad you enjoyed the new one. :) You should let me know the details. XD

    Have fun at your holiday party....

    Tim Burton did a remake of Planet of the Apes. I adore Tim Burton and his work...I HATED that movie. I haven't even liked any of them actually, but I had hoped Tim Burton would give it some kind of redeeming quality. :)

    Miss you guys!

    Well, let's see...in addition to all of the *usual* stuff, AND some Christmasy stuff, I've been watching the extended versions of LOTR with Andrew. I've never seen them before all of the way through. It takes us a couple of nights to watch a single movie, but I'm really enjoying them.

    Glad you had an excellent time.

    What have I been up to? Starting my ASL 1 class, putting out the last of the winter/Christmas decorations, cleaning (Particularly with mother recovering from her surgery, so we have to do a lot the things she normally does as well.), preparing for things like the arrival of Savannah and Cara tomorrow! And Nathan on Saturday! =D

Over Thanksgiving, the Graves (Mrs. Kym, Mr. Philip, and Andrew) came to stay with us. We had a brilliant week with them! Spending the holidays with kindred spirits is extremely enjoyable. I miss them all so very much and hope to see them again soon. (:

This Thursday, a bunch of our close friends are coming to stay at our house over the weekend. We're calling it "Little Christmas", and it's gonna be awesome. :)

I hope you all have a fabulous day!
