Ok, so it wasn't really that stormy. And I wouldn't call it peaceful right now either. But either way, Christmas is over, and it's time to just lay back and rest. For the most part, anyway. Just be glad if you don't have to return anything. It's time once again to take down the decorations, smash the christmas CDs, throw away the tree, and get on with out lives. And as Calvin would say: "Finally I don't have to be good anymore!!" Or do we? Sure, the holiday is over, but is the spirit gone with it? Are we sick of our relitaves, decorations, and carols now? Ok, so if we kept the decorations up and kept singing the songs all year it would get old. And even Santa would get sick of it. Hmm. Maybe he does. But some things about Christmas don't have to end when we go back to school.

Lol, yes, I know I already said most of that two posts back. But oh well. :P

Well, right now my family went to see Narnia and get rocks or something for the fish tank. So right now I'm with my 5-year old sister doing nothing. Yay!

Heh. Heh heh. Heh heh heh. (for Elyse)

Merry Christmas! Wow, it's finally arrived. Yet another Christmas has come and (almost) gone. This year, I didn't get that much because I already got drums and all...heh. But that's ok. I like my drums.

Yesturday (eve of Christmas) I went to my grandma's with my cousins. We exchanged gifts and such and had the annual christmas dinner. Yay! Now, you know you're definately getting old when you get candy and money. I'm not complaining. We got home at about 9:45 or so, and my parents sent us strait to bed and told us we couldn't come down. I think I heard them going to the neighbour's house to pick up my sisters' big presents. They've done that before. Yay big presents.

This morning my sisters got up at 6:30. And, we weren't allowed to go down until 7:30 (with out parents). So much for the last hour of sleep. But oh well. We eventually all went down and opened out stockings. My grandpa came down last night to stay for a while, so he got to join in and such.

Now, I'm sure you're asking "what did ya get?" ...Well, as I said above, not much other than drums. My sisters got a fish tank though, so we've been putting little lego divers in it and such. One of my sisters got a bike too. Yea, that one would be hard to hide in my dad's closit.

Eventually my uncle and aunt came for lunch, and we opened even more gifts. I got LotR: Fellowship of the Ring from them. I'll have to watch that sometime. Heh...

*reader is bored out of his/her mind*

Yes, well. Right now I'm a bit bored too. I'm just waiting until this turkey dinner is ready to go upstairs and such. I mean, uh...I'm helping.

I should probably be with my grandpa and aunt/uncle right now, I suppose. So I guess I'll leave you now. Bye! *waves franticly*

Yes, my friends, it has arrived. The one time of year every little kid looks forward to. Christmas. But the thing is, adults have a whole different perspection on Christmas, and they completely miss the point in doing so. To them it's the time of year where you actually have to be nice and give people gifts. You actually have to hold the door open for that person behind you. You actually have to send people the cards. My, how stressful. They get caught up in their christmas shopping, and totally miss the point of Christmas. You ask an adult if they like Christmas, and they'll probably say "sure I do." But if you tell them it's a month away they'll sigh and put their head in their hands. Why does Christmas have to feel like work? Shouldn't it be fun to give people gifts? Isn't that the point?

Now, another thing is...why only on Christmas? Why do we only be totally nice on Christmas, saying "oh, it's the season to be happy!" Shouldn't we be happy all year round? Don't you think it would be neat to just walk over to your neighbour on some random Saturday and give them a gift? Why reserve it for Christmas and Birthdays? Oh, and I am definately not just saying this because I want people to be nice to me and give me presents. No, I would have to say I'm part of the problem.

And then there's Santa. Oh yes...Santa. I hate him. Yes, hate is a strong word. And God says to love your enemies. But he's not real. Or is he? Lately, when I think of Santa, I'm thinking of the media. Of the commersionalism of Christmas these days. I think of Satan. Basicly what Satan is doing here is brainwashing us. I mean, think of the first few Christmas's in his eyes (no, not when Jesus was born, when we started celebrating it): "Aw man, they've set apart a day just for Jesus! I must get rid of this holiday. Hmm. I know, I'll tell them it's not about Jesus, it's about the presents! And 'being nice'! Haha! What a joke!" Ok, so he doesn't talk like that (I hope), but you get the picture. Santa is there to hide what Christmas is really about. And people are falling for it. Even some Christians.

Well, I do believe I've actually written a good Blog entry for once. Not just some useless things that I randomly thought of. Yay.

Remember the reason,

Oh hi there. This here is my new blog. Yes...I've started another. Maybe I'll actually use this one. Lol. Maybe.

...

Anyway, Christmas is only 9 days away. I can't believe the year went by so fast. It seemed like just yesturday it was last christmas. Well, ok, last week. But yea. Time just seems to go a lot faster as you get older. I know, that's what 60 year-olds say. But I really mean it. Really, I do.

Well, if I think of something else to say here, I'll post it. After writing it down and sticking it to my forehead.
