my christmas was pretty good.
it was the first time we didn't do christmas day at my house in a while.
instead, we did it at my grandma's house. i was the only kid there and all the adults were drunk before noon. so i snuck out back and called people for the whole day, which was fun.
christmas eve was at my other grandma's house and was awkward as usual.
i got four movies (pirates 3, the simpsons movie, west side story, and phantom of the opera), a lot of gift cards, a really nice hoodie that i love, a really nice barn jacket that i love, more clothes, chocolates, and a vacation to Lake Tahoe on mlk jr. weekend with my best friend.
that last one made this a really good christmas.
i'm going down to my cousin's tomorrow morning and might not be on for a few days. sorry!
