Christmas is Over

So I survived through Christmas.. it’s really hectic with my family, but it’s great seeing everybody. On Christmas Eve, somebody in the family has a party.. this year it was at my Aunt and Uncle’s, next year it will be here at my house. It was pretty boring because my cousins had their friends there and stuff.. and I don’t really like hanging out with the adults. I’m sorta at that awkward age where I don’t fit into either crowd. We played our annual gift swap game.. that was fun. Then the rest of the night I played Tony Hawk Pro Skater #whatever. Good times. (: I ended up staying up way too late on the computer so getting up the next morning wasn’t fun.
My mom woke me up at 8:00 in the morning, obnoxiously singing We Wish You a Merry Christmas. I almost killed her. Then she got all in my face and I almost punched her. It could’ve been messy. I’m really not a morning person, and she knows it. You should know it too, so I don’t punch you in the face. Because I will. (: So I got up and dragged myself downstairs to open presents. For the first time so long it actually snowed on Christmas morning! It was beautiful.. kinda bad though becuase we had to drive in it. But that’s later. So I opened my presents. Got a lot of fun stuff including a lovely digital camera and a down comforter. Woo hoo! I was happy. Then my parents opened their gifts and we opened our stockings. Before we went to get changed to go to my grandma’s house, my dad was like “My sinuses are really bothering me, can you get me a sinus tablet?” So I went in the bathroom and there is an instrument case wrapped up on the floor!! I almost peed myself. They got me a new bass! I couldn’t friggin’ believe it.
It’s a 4-stringed Warwick Streamer Stage 1. It is soooo sexy. I’ve been wanting a Warwick for a while now, but I have two basses, and I couldn’t afford one. They’re really expensive, but they’re really really nice. My dad had asked me a while ago, if I would ever replace my 4 string, what would I want? I told him a Warwick, but that would be down the road since they were so expensive. So a few days later, he came across an ad in the newspaper for a used Warwick!! He checked it out and ended up getting it. I guess this bass was just meant to be for me! (: It’s in perfect condition and it’s wonderful. I’m so excited about it. (:
Sorry, I’ll stop blabbing about that and finish up. We drove in the snow to my Grandma’s.. it was pretty bad. And then we got 3/4 the way there and realized we forgot some important gifts. My dad got all pissed off and drove all the way back. I’m surprised that’s the only time he got pissed off. =D When we finally got to my dad’s parents’ we had a big yummy breakfast. Afterwards we opened presents, and then headed off to my mom’s mom’s house. Then finally I got to go home and SLEEP.
I hung out with Veronica, Liz, Ryan, and Sheila that night. We watched Goldmember.. hehe funny. “It looks like a baby’s arm holding an apple!” bahaha… It was good hanging out with all of them. (:
