15 more minutes of Christmas

So as I write this there is about 15 more minutes left of Christmas. All in all had a wonderful day. I am spending my Christmas vacation with my Dad in the Windy City. I don't even want to think about how cold it is outside now. Probably in the single digits. Burrrr!

Anyway, another Christmas has come and gone. It seems like just yesterday that it was June 25th and Christmas was another 6 months away. It seems like just yesterday. But I had a fantastic day. My Dad let me sleep in until 10. It felt so nice. That was probably my first gift of the day. After I finally decided to get up I sat down for a while, drank some coffee and watched the wind blow the snow all around. It was a very peaceful morning. I made out with some wonderful Christmas gifts too. My Dad got me the perfume I had asked for, a really cool charm bracelet, and a very stylish weekender bag with some cute pjs inside. (Pictures to come) It's funny, as I get older I realize that Christmas isn't really about the presents it is about spending time with your family and the people you care most about. After all the family finally left tonight my Dad and I sat down to do what we do every year and watch A Christmas Story together. He is the only one that doesn't care if I quote the movie word for word, because he does it too! That was the highlight of my day. I LOVE that movie and but I LOVE watching it with him even more.

I hope everyone had a wonderful day and you got to spend it with the people that you love the most. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
