I was up since 5 in the morning on Christmas day and left my room around 6:30 am to go take a shower and get ready. As soon as my Grandpa, sister, and I was all set we started packing the truck with gifts we got mom (ok one gift but at the time she though she was getting two). When we got there my parents and siblings were all wide awake and ready (as planned) to open presents. We stuck the two presents for mom in the kitchen out of the way. At that time the kids got to open their gifts first and the look on their faces would make you laugh. They got EVERYTHING on their want list and more, the boys got the Nintendo DS each, my sister got her damn zhu zhu pet thinger that my dad tried weeks to get because it was in so high demand that the stores would be fresh out the moment they opened the door (hell people would BUY them just to take them home and SELL them on ebay double to triple, to ten times the amount you could get them at the store, and morons would actually buy them. A ten dollar toy hamster you can get on ebay for over 100 dollars…yeah, seems quite worth it [insert sarcastic snort here].
Every year there usually seems to be one “main” FAMILY gift that the parents would buy, this year the family got the Nintendo Wii, the kids ‘bout shit themselves LOL. After the kids opened their presents it was time for the parents, my dad opened his from grandpa and I, we got him a DeWalt tool package, he was extremely happy, he did need new tools! Then it was mom’s turn, I slid her a heavy box, when she unwrapped it she was freaking out, the box was of an HP Touchsmart desktop. She told us if that was the computer she’d kill us, we laughed and made her open it.
Inside was a note and 3 bricks, the note read “Now that you shit your pants, open the gift grandpa and I got you”. The computer box was a gag gift and mom was relieved, so I moved it out of the way so she could open her real present. You know those wooden dolls that has another wooden doll inside? and you open that one to reveal another, and keep going until you have a tiny solid wooden doll? Yeah, well that’s how I wrapped her gift, when she opened it, there was another box, and there on another box, and she was getting frustrated so I had to do the rest until all that was left was a sock that held her gift inside. When she pulled it out there it was, her very own iPod Touch, she was surprised and happy to have one…mostly because she loves the game skee-ball and would always bug me for mine so she could play it, so now she doesn’t have to, she has her own.
Oh, forgot to mention, I got a shirt with a wolf on it (because I’m a wolf fanatic and collect anything with a wolf on it) and got 4 new lounge pants (I was in desperate need of more). Most of my gifts I got early from grandpa, a fire safe, a robe, & pants. I don’t ask for much anymore, because there isn’t much that I want (that is reasonable to give me as a gift because of price LOL). Well, everyone’s Christmas was great, I wish it was better for me though, it didn’t “feel” like Christmas, last year was almost the same, except then it did feel like Christmas…but barely. This year it wasn’t Christmas to me..period, so it wasn’t exactly enjoyable for me (and no it wasn’t because of what I got, I love my wolf shirt and grateful to have the lounge pants). I don’t know, I guess it’s getting to the point to where I am growing out of the whole Christmas excitement, yesterday I would have been happy to just lay in bet for several more hours and then wake up to work on my template store, I only went mostly because, 1. I wanted to see the look on mom’s face when she opened her present, and 2. My parents would be mad at me –smirks-
Oh well, hope everyone’s Christmas was awesome, have a wonderful new year!
P.S. Wow I wrote a lot LOL
