    Actually the X is an abbreviation devised by the church, based on the greek letter chi, the first letter in Christ.

    whoo hoo!

    13 days ppl. and one week left of school ( well, seven days anywho) That's not counting today or the actual xmas day. Well, my mother finally started to decorate today. I'm so happy!!
    I have another xmas memory. My brother was about 8 (meaning I was 12) and he decided to wake me up at 4 in the morning. So, we sat down there ALL night in the cold because at the time we weren't allowed to touch the furnace. We watched christmas specials and some weird show about some girls bangs. :glazed:
    I don't understand that odd and pointless show to this day. *sigh* memories.

    We decorated (rather, my parents did...i was working a full shift) the house last week. not much, since the house is bigger than our old one...but at least we're getting into it.

    Hmmm, another x-mas memory?

    Okay, 'bout maybe five years ago, my whole dad's side met up at a cabin we rented in Big Bear. Seriously, like...60 people in a made-for-30 house. It was cool though, all the big kids got to sleep right by the fireplace, while we waited for the snow to fall. We wake up, and the whole place is FILLED with about 9 inches of snow. (That's GREAT if you live in California, like poor Izzy) Then, after we all woke up, we all went snowboarding since it was the 23rd. First time snowboarding for me, and dang it was fun! :D I seriously can't wait to go this year, my board's been in like...stasis for far too long.

    Oh, forgot to mention, all we did at the cabin was play pool, darts, and killer instinct.

    I love pool. and darts....except, they're a bad thing to play when you're erm.....inebriated. Don't try that at home kids. I speak from experience...:dizzy2: man do I ever wish that my mom would decorate insanely. Like, i mean garland everywhere and all the tackiest things u can find. I shall do that when I have own appt....or dorm...or house. Muhaha. now, down to business.
    12 DAYS LEFT WHOO HOO. and *6 days* left of school. there is tons of ppl in this place, LETS HEAR STORIES!!! *hands out lollies*

    I did pretty much all of my shopping.

    I got my dad some Jazz CD's

    My sister a photojournalism book on the NBA

    And my mom the new Beauty and the Beast DVD (Its her fav movie)

    I've only got 5 days left!!!!!

    Since I'm a senior its not like school is work, its just boring

    Anyway my cousin is comming back from Army Training for X-Mass and I haven't seen him in forever so Im excited.

    Oh and my friends and I are getting together for a Burton Christmas which will involve watching Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Batman: Returns.

    Merry Christmas yall.

    LOL, I'm marginal in what shopping I've done.

    -Bought my sister "Mario Kart Advance" and will likely buy her "Kirby Advance" as well.
    -Mom gets "The King and I" in deluxe widescreen (HER favorite movie)
    -Dad, oddly, wants a watering pail for the holidays. Makes sense since the parentals seem to like having trees and ferns in the house.
    -"Can't Hardly Wait" for a friend...so I could watch it with him and we can BOTH stare at Jennifer Love Fefferman.


    ...and I'm still lacking about eight gifts...DAMMMMMMMIT...and I don't get a day off from work until Monday!

    Yeah, christmas. I am without fail, always sick on christmas day. It's the only time of the year I ever get sick too, due to my otherwise unbeatable immune system. Last year for example, I was up in donneygal with my relatives and I got that 'chirstmas vommiting bug' that was going around Ireland. It was even better because we were eating out at a big fancy hotel place. It was gone by the next day too. ****ing bollocks. I remember getting Warhammer 40k models fo christmas, back when I used to play that many years ago. They were cool. I also rembemr getting those tennis rackets that I've never used onec. My parents really suck at choosing presents for me unless I tell them specifically what to get me.
    This year niisan is buying most of the presents, we usualy buy stuff between us, and I got most of them last year, so I only have to get a couple of things. I'll probably get them next week.

    Hopefully you don't get sick this year DL... I still have a few things to pick up for people. But I don't think I ever asked for anything from my parents this year >< But I guess it matters more what I give and to see people happy ;) But I think I may get stuff from Hawaii from my parents because they went there like a month ago!

    The tree's up now too and there's a Christmas party for the family today!!! I won't get any presents though, since the family is buying presents for I guess poor children who otherwise wouldn't get anything (that's what Christmas is all aboot though :))


    And blarg!!! need more snow.... I'm in Canada and there's no snow in sight... it looks like it's going to snow, either that or it's overcast.

    My cat Max and Missy should meet. Max loves it under the tree. She smashes a record of 2 xmas balls a day. *sigh* but we love the dirty lil bugger anyway. Well, having a tree fall on you is quite memorable, lol. I would definetely save that story for years to come. heh heh....oh dear...merry freakin christmas, that was excellent.

    That Guy! : I want more snow too. :( I'm in Canada too, and it JUST AIN'T SNOWY ENUF. *shakes fist at rain clouds outside*
