Christmas

To me my favorite thing about Christmas, is Christmas Eve. There is nothing better than getting together with family and friend. Not only do I have the best family in the world, but we all love eachother, and I can honestly say all of my cousins are my best friends. They are amazing!!! Anyway....every Christmas Eve we go over to Gramps and Grandma Bob's house to open presents from Grandpa Harold. He starts shopping the day after Christmas and starts shopping all the best sales, and he is the sweetest old man anyone will ever meet. This year he got me a "Cozy-Up" and a necklace. A "Cozy-Up" is the same things as a "Snuggie." It's pretty awesome. My cousin Krista got one too! they are quite amazing. Than after hanging out for a little while we head over to my house to read the Christmas story from the Bible in James. It was a lot of fun, we read some stuff from 3 Nephi, and some cute meaningful little stories. The best is just hanging out with the family though! I love it more than anything! After reading the stories we played in infamous Instruments. We added a new instrument called the "Groupie." Funniest thing ever when Uncle Brent was in that chair, we couldn't stop passing it to him, him just dancing was sooooo funny! The game winded down and everyone left. My family opened up our pajama's and everyone went to bed. Me and Dan went to Midnight Mass with my cousin Jenna and her friend. I like learning about everyone elses religions, it gives me a better appreciation for others.
Today, on Christmas, we opened up our presents and than we went to Grandpa Kenny's and Grandma Marion's for breakfast with all the Stuart's. I am really excited about one of my presents, its going to be a Mezuzah Pendant Necklace. In Jewish culture they have Mezuzah's that hang on the outside of your house, and when people say it, its supposed to remind them that they the house and the people in it are dedicated to God. It's pretty cool. So they have it in a pendant form, and I'm excited to wear mine. I also got a new laptop :] Really exciting. I love it, usually I know exactly what I'm getting, but I was really suprised to get that!!!
