[Where Are You Christmas?-Faith Hill]
today was christmas. and it was not a very good one. i mean it wasnt horrible. but it didnt rank up there in the list of good ones. bob was sick. i am getting sick. mom started to not feel well. usually we spend it with family. but Gramcracker went to florida and my aunt chose to stay home with her new boyfriend. my other aunt and uncle wouldnt come over cuz we werent having a delightfully non-traditional dinner of spaghetti and garlic bread and my stupid aunt doesnt eat that stuff. so it was just me mom and bob. which is ok, just different. and money was tight this year so there werent too many presents. and i already knew almost everything i was getting. i got 4 new shirts. a new hoodie. a new pair of pants. some gloves. a printer. printer paper. and a hundred bucks. which is pretty good, i mean i dont wanna sound spoiled and selfish or anything. i stayed in my pjs all day. and i took a 3 hour nap in the middle of the day. then we had salad, spaghetti, garlic bread, and peach pie. it was pretty much the best christmas dinner i have ever had though. seriously, why does the joy of christmas start to fade away? its a gradual thing as you get older. christmas has always been my favorite holiday. in years past, i would wake up at the crack of dawn and scamper about the house waking up various family members in a fit of excitement. this morning, mom came in and told me to get up and i grumbled "it will still be christmas at noon. now leave me alone." i never used to be like that before. but slowly over the years it grew into that. i had less spirit this year. its just depressing really. and now that christmas is over, im sad that i missed all the spirit i should have had but didnt. its quite sad. maybe next year ill be better.
