Christmas and the Like

OK, So today is my 20th birthday! YAY!

I am currently at the toy shop where I opened for the first time by myself. It's just me, the stuffed animals and a little Rockabye Baby U2. First customer of the day was a woman and her daughter returning a rather expensive present that the girl did not want. The woman in general was in a cranky mood and rather nasty. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU TOO! The customers after that were nice so that fixed my put-outedness.

Onto Christmas:
I got a lot of nice things from my family. My family break Christmas up into 3 distinct sections. Christmas Eve = Grandma's house from my mom's side of the family. We open those presents then, then have a mini birthday thing for me. The next morning we open our presents at home then head over to my aunt's house form my dad's side of the family. Everyone at our house knows the best extended family presents come from my grandma's house. This year did not disappoint. I received a balloon animal making kit and some magic books. For my birthday I got a REALLY cool knife from my uncle (He's prepping my armory that I plan on having in my house when I move out on my own). On my dad's side of the family, excluding a beautiful earring and necklace set I got from my one aunt, I got sheets. 2 whole sheet sets. Granted they are nice sheets, but it still felt much like opening your package and finding socks. Pleasant, functional, and lackluster of that holiday enthusiasm.

So today is my birthday and now to decide where I will go with my family for dinner and a movie. I've narrowed it down to The Day the Earth Stood Still or The Tale of Despereaux. As far as dinner is concerned, I think I might say Red Robin because I know Amanda likes to go there.

I think I'm going to add a separate post about some other stories/ things going on. This appears to be a strictly holiday post. That being said:

MERRY CHRISTMAS
HAPPY FESTIVUS
HAPPY SOLSTICE
and
HOPE YOU HAD A ROCKIN" SATURNALIA!
