| | The Best Christmas Ever!!!!!First off, Merry Christmas everyone! I hope that each of you had a great holiday and were able to hang out with those you love and maybe even receive a few really cool gifts. 
This is Nessa and my first Christmas together and it was so amazing! We even started our own tradition of buying a special ornament to commemorate the occasion. The plan is to get a new special ornament every year. Here is a pic of our tree.
Oooo.... pretty lights...
My parents came over the other night to check out the decorations and they brought Speedy a present.
Tonight is Christmas Eve and we just returned home from a wonderful evening of seeing our families and doing our gift exchanges. It is an unfortunate circumstance but I had to work tonight and I have to work tomorrow too. I was lucky, though, and we were offered early outs as early as 1:30. So I decided that since I wasn't going to receive holiday pay until tomorrow, and since we were going to do gifts and whatnot tonight since I would be unable to attend the family events tomorrow, I would leave and spend the day with the people who matter most and not the stupid last minute flying public. I came home, changed, went out to Nessa's moms place. We all hung out there for a while and exchanged gifts before they went to church. Her brother, Jason, and sister, Jessi, got me these really cool candle holders and candles to go with them. They will be pictured later. Nessa's mom, Nancy, surprised me big time with a homemade gift. Check it out.
 It's a robe! I was amazed, not only at how well done it was cause she made the whole robe, but also at the fact that she would go to the time and effort to MAKE something for me. Especially something so neat. Thanks mom!
We left there and headed out to my folks place. There we got to see my parents, my brother and Staci, my grandmas, and my aunts Susan and Sharon. We had a great time eating, drinking, and being merry. Then came more gifts. Here is a picture of just my haul this year.
Yeah... OMG... Here, in no particular order is an actual list of what is pictured.
Candle holders, candles, Marvel coffee mug set, Marvel 06 calander, Crown Royal gift set, Fantastic 4, Lost Season 1, Phantom soundtrack, 24 Seasons 3&4, a sweater, Starbucks GC, AMC GC, QT GCs, and as a joint gift from the folks, a night at the New Theatre Restaurant. Also pictured above are my gifts from my wonderful girlfriend. They are the DVDs of Serenity and Hulk along with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest pack for the Game Cube. Thank you baby! I love you! Also, not pictured is my brother's gift to me, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 for the PS2. Thanks bro!
I found several neat things for Nessa that she really seemed to enjoy. Belly button rings, a GIR t-shirt, a print of Starry Night by Van Gogh, and the Harry Potter movie collection.
All in all, I must say this has been the greatest Christmas ever. I am so happy I can't even believe it, and it isn't just because of the presents. Vanessa, you are my rock, my heart, my soul. I am looking forward to many more happy Christmases by your side. I love you, doll.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night. |
