I am currently laying in my bed on Christmas Eve, trying to fall asleep, but cannot.
It is blizzarding outside right now, like full on winter wonderland style.
My mother is downstairs cleaning up for “Santa” and trying to make my brothers go to bed, so that “Santa” can come and my mom can get some sleep.
It has been snowing since around 3pm Thursday, the roads are so bad that the LJ World tweeted that if you leave your home, you are risking your life.
I did in fact leave my home, and the moment all my people arrived safely to their final destinations, it felt like the stress relief that happens after a hard test.
I have had a fantastic holiday so far and I am sure it will only get better. I will tell all about my gifts and such once I open them, though I already received one of the best presents I could ever imagine, thanks to my dear friend Brian and our lovely Secret Santjew exchange.
I will leave you on this snowy night with a photo that expresses one of my favorite Christmas decorations from my childhood… Santa’s bells. This single ribbon with tiny bells is forever a part of the holiday for me. (and since I found out about an hour ago that one of my other fave decorations– the little drummer boys that played music– were given away without consent the santa bells are right near the top)
merry christmas to all, and to all a good night

I am so sorry about the Little Drummer Boys, Shan. Who knew???
