"Now i'm not one to second guess what angels have to say, but this is such a strange way to save the world"

To my all my followers a belated MERRY CHRISTMAS, KWANZA, HAPPY HANNUKAH *busta rhymes voice*. The holiday season has come to an end and I have to admit it makes me a little sad. I love the holidays. I love the lights, the christmas tree, the sense of hope everyone seems to have, and just the feeling of love surrounding you. My Christmas was spent with those that I love the most (minus a few). Christmas Eve was spent cooking Biriani, or watching my mom do it because she hates anyone in the kitchen when she's at work. We sang Christmas carols and went to church twice. I was a bit disapointed by church though to tell you the truth. Christmas is something so special. I love how it's described in the song A Strange Way to Save The World. The song talks about how Joseph and Mary (Jesus's parents) must have felt. Mary gave birth to the son of God. IT doesn't get to be a bigger deal then that. It's huge! And the son of God wasn't born surrounded by gold and the sound of trumpets or anything to that extent. He was born in a stable and slept in a manger surrounded by sheaperds and farm animals. It was humble. It was real. I just love the Christmas story. Every year I read Luke 2:11 in complete awe. The story will never stop being completely magical to me.

After Church we went to my aunts house to hang out and have some cookies. By the time we got home it was Christmas. We hopped in bed and woke up fairly early to open presents. My brother got an iPad and various other games, I got the laptop which i'm typing this post on, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift (The Monster Ball and Speak Now) Dvds. It was cool because I saw both shows and got to relive it. I got Never Say Never Directors Cut which comes with an hour of footage and all the items for the collecters edition. I got one of my favorite movies the notebook, and the Paris Hilton perfume. It was a great Christmas and got more then I ever could of dreamed of. It's not about the things but gifts sure are fun to get.

After our gift opening we had a party with the same people who always come. My uncles, my new baby cousin, and ALL of our family friends. We always have a good time together. It's nice to see everyone. Sometimes I feel like I feel closer to them then they do to me. I mean we grew up together, but ever since puberty it's like "Oh no, I can't talk to you. You're a girl and I might melt or you might think I like you". It's like with African guys instead of moving forward they revert back to kindergarden ways where girls have cooties and they must avoid them like the plague. It's cool, I'm over it. I hung out with my best friend and other little ones. It was a fun holiday and I'm glad I got to spend it with such great people. I feel very blessed.
