Christmas 06'
What a wonderful Christmas! Well, I didn’t have time to write on Christmas day, or the many days after for that matter, but here I am writing, finally, about my wonderful Christmas experience. It basically started on Christmas Eve going into Christmas Day at midnight when my family and I went to midnight mass. We got all dolled up and were looking pretty good if I do say so myself. haha. After church we went up to my Aunt Rita and Uncle Chuck’s house for a little yearly shin dig where we chat and eat a lot of food..preparing for Christmas Day food. Us Henley’s are pretty impressive. So, I got home around 3 am Christmas Day and after taking some family pictures I got to bed around 3:30. Just before Santa and Mrs. Clause started to listen to some bad TV Christmas Music Channel while they put the presents under the Lunt tree. It was a good thing I went to bed when I did. I don’t know how long I could have listened to that channel. It was this bad Jazz Christmas stuff that sounded like Mr. and Mrs. Clause were trying to get it on. (not cool!) Anywhen…
I woke up at 9 am and laid in bed for a little bit…just relaxing. 9 is relatively later than we usually wake up for Christmas Day, but it was when Christian and Kate made it up to the house. So, we started unwrapping presents around 9:45 and didn’t get done till about 11:15 since we still unwrap presents one at a time and talk in between. It’s ridiculous but I love it. So my family was pretty happy with the gifts they got from me, even Christian and Patrick who are near impossible to shop for. My favorite present I gave was an engraved star ornament for my aunt and uncle. It made them cry they liked it so much. Yeah…I’m a great gift picker outer for people. Seriously…you should want to be my friend around Christmas. lol.
My Christmas intake on the other hand was just as enjoyable. I got some CD’s, some books, a few DVD’s, and lots of clothes. My favorites include The Beatle The White Album (LOVE IT!) from my parents, Catcher and the Rye from Patrick, and The New Adventures of Lois and Clark Season One from Katherine. I love my sibby…she knows me so well. lol. I also love all my new clothes. I got three green shirts (all different shades...) from AE. They are all SO me. haha. I also got some green pajama pants and a nice red sweater and red sweatpants too. So, I have a whole new Red and Green Christmas wardrobe. haha. It may sound like I got a lot of stuff for Christmas and the truth is that yes..I did. Every year my parents say they aren’t getting us that much, but we end up getting spoiled in the end. Not that I’m complaining or anything…but I never expect so much from them. I think mom just likes buying stuff for her girls since her boys are so hard to shop for. But anywhen…
Christmas day we all went up to grandma’s and ate lots of glorious food (specifically the dressing that just melts in your mouth) and played board games and just hung out Henley style. lol. Another enjoyable holiday and I can’t believe it’s over already. But I still consider it Christmas even though New Years is next and there is no snow, which totally sucks! Pissed about that. But anyway…that’s it for now. I’ll make the next entry shorter.
