Christmas

    I woke up super early this morning for no apparent reason. I was ready to begin opening gifts at 6:30. So I waited for my sisters to wake up, and waited, and waited. Finally at 8:30 I went down to their beds and started kicking them to wake up. My sister got real pissed at me and started yelling. Finally I was able to convince them to come up stairs by telling them lies and making false promises.

    My family sat around in my grandparents living room and one by one opened gifts. My little sister gave me her old digital camera because she was getting a professional camera from my parents. My older sister gave me a shirt and my parents gave me an android tablet.

    Even though it's not an iPad I'm content with it. Actually I find it just as good if not better than an iPad. What I liked about it was that it had flash player which the ipad doesn't, and that allows me to watch shows online and things like that. I'm not exactly sure if I will use it as my primary computer at school but I will try.

    We went to my grandparent's church around 10 for Christmas mass. It was a very elegant church beautifully decorated for Christmas. Stain glass windows filled the walls, spreading a warm rainbow of light over everyone who was present. After church we saw a mother and child who were asking for money outside the church, the woman had a sign saying that she had been layed off and they needed money for a Christmas meal. My family and I felt really bad for them, so we went to a store and got the kid some small gifts and we gave the woman money for a dinner. This, more than our gifts and feast, made me most happy and reminded me of the true meaning of Christmas.

    Around noon we went over to my cousins house for a lunch. We feasted on delicious ham and scallop wrapped in bacon. We hung out with our cousins for the rest of the day. Marry Christmas!
