Santa Has Come to Town










Today was Christmas. Usually when I think of Christmas I think of waking up, snow on the ground, being chilly as I run to the living room to get my stocking. Well that was not so this year. In Colorado, we had no snow. What is this!!! I can't believe it! How is it supposed to feel like Christmas when none of these things happened. The sun was shining and the sky was BLUE! Craziness!

My family did not wait for the snow though. Christmas went on as planned. It never once felt like Christmas today. I woke up at my Mommy's house and opened my stocking and waited for Grandma to show up so we could open presents. I got some pretty cool stuff including a hoodie and t-shirt from the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop which is from the TV show,Pawn Stars; Loveland High sweat pants; heat blanket; candy and such; Andrew WK CD; socks; razors; and a Marilyn Monroe calendar. My sister Megan was over with her baby Charles and her boyfriend Anthony so we took lots of family pictures as well.

After the celebration at my Mom's house, I went over to Dad's where the chaos seems to be increasingly stressful. I opened yet another stocking, ate dinner, and open presents with the family as planned. Some of the presents I received included a drill press, dapping block, pliers, elves, and lots of hammers (tools were what I mainly asked for). So my Dad's side of the family has this tradition of how they always play this game where you wrap a gift SUPER tightly and use oven mitts to attempt to open it before another person at the table rolls doubles. It is an intense game! Especially when my sister Nikki is playing because she is really competitive. She uses lots of sound effects when she is ripping open the present; it is quite entertaining.
*Well now it is time to rant because frankly, I have been too nice in this blog. I need to bring some attention to the HIDEOUS leggings that EVERYONE seems to thing is flattering to ALL body types. Well whoever told you that was lying!! Leggings are flattering to no one and really, I am just going to put it out there, I don't want to see your cellulite and fat rolls. I really don't! I don't care how fat you are or how skinny you are; leggings are just disgusting! Please stop wearing them everyone!
I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas because I know that mine went alright.
