Subject: And so this is Christmas... A recap of the past few days!
Christmas Eve: I worked 2-10 at the Pike and it was SLOOOOW as hell, so we had a pretty good time. Bill Blodgett sang Christmas carols into a parking cone for a good portion of the night, which was pretty hilarious. And I got to put myself into a machine on entry and then go and visit Marty for some of the evening, which was also fun, cause Marty is a cool kid and we have fun together. People were ridiculously friendly, which was awesome, but sadly that's almost over! I got a lot of extra tips and stuff, it was cool.
After work I had a crazy 2 hour road trip. I came back to my apartment, picked up all of my crap for Christmas day, and then went back to Sturbridge and met Munchie. We met Katie and Mike at St. Mary's for midnight mass, which was awesome. I really enjoyed it- it was so peaceful, the lighting was perfect inside the church, and Munchie and I (of course) got a fairly hysterical laughing fit in the middle of church. Actually, it was more like gagging because we were trying so hard not to laugh. It was fun.
I went back to Munchie's after mass and we stayed up until 4 am hanging out and talking and stuff. For some reason, we were just not tired. It was fun though, we haven't done the sleepover thing in a really long time, so we had a good time.
Christmas Day: I got up at 7 am, showered, and headed to Mom and Bill's. We did Santa and family presents. I think Bill gave my mom and I the best present this year: matching diamond necklaces. The sotry is cool though: the diamonds were both cut from one stone, and throughout the whole process of making the necklace, they've never been separated. It's a mother- daughter thing. So I really enjoyed that.
We headed to Auntie Linda's for dinner (which happens at noon for us) and hung out with Memere and Pepere, as well as my two very overexcited cousins, who are 10 and 6. They were crazy! We did presents and hung out and ATE SO FREAKIN MUCH and had a good time. When we were done there, we went to Auntie Margaret's for more food. My whole family was there and it was fun. The kids corralled me for awhile and I was stuck playing house (they are 10, 5, 3, 11, and 9) but then I escaped and got to chat with the adults as well. That was really fun- laughing with my cousins about everything. My generation is really young (all of those ages above are in my generation) but my cousins Jess and TJ are also in it (they are 21 and 20) and after last night, we adopted Tom and his partner Brian who are in their 30s. It was fun! :)
As for today, it is pouring rain and I have to work at the Pike. But I am stopping at CVS to pick up pictures from last Friday first!! I can't wait to get these into frames!!!
