Christmas...kind of?

This Christmas did not feel like Christmas to me. Everything was just...different than it normally is.

I started off Christmas by watching the "Blackadder Christmas Carol". If you don't know what Blackadder is, well... it's British. It's got Hugh Laurie (Dr. House) in it. It makes me happy.

So I didn't get to sleep till 2ish because I was also listening to some Beatles songs and stuff and I just couldn't sleep. I think too much about...things that I care about.

Anywho, I woke up early-ish and decided to start off Christmas morning with something that couldn't possibly go wrong: a shower.

Then I found out that Mythbusters had a marathon all day. Too bad I don't have the Discovery Channel. roar.

Christmas this year was different because a lot of my family didn't come. They didn't want to risk their lives and drive a lot to see us...which is understandable. That's cool.

For the past...forever, we have always gone to my great aunt's house in Winona for Christmas. For the very first time in the history of forever, that did not happen. Everybody (except my dad who quoted "if it was my decision...we would have just gone!")thought it would be best if we didn't make the trip to Winona. So...SURPRISE! the people who lived in town came over to my house.

The biggest meal was always lunch...but we didn't have anything planned because all the food was kinda in Winona. My dad basically told everyone to just find something to eat before the family all came over. So I found myself enjoying leftover mac n' cheese and pizza rolls for my "big" Christmas lunch. It was delicious.

There was still an hour to kill before people came over so I ended up watching Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. Enjoyable indeed.

Then people came over...I hid and played the piano in the basement for a while...ate lots of sugar cookies...yep.

Then I went over to another house in town for the other side of the family. We had lasagna. More delicious...but I was sick from eating lots of cookies. Oops.

There was a squabble about who had more pain than who and blah blah blah. Nothing out of the ordinary. Overall it was an unusually alright evening. Nobody cried so....that means it was good.

By the end of the night though I felt very very guilty because sometimes people decide to guilt you about things. Christmas isn't Christmas unless you feel guilty at some point right? :-/

I went to Crazytown though and things went well there. We had a laser party and made fun of people on HGTV.

Overall, today was just weird. That's about all I can say about it.
