Christmas Past..

Well Christmas was great this year. Spent the entire day with my family, Nick (my sisters boyfriend), and Phil, (my mothers childhood friend). We opened presents around 9:30 am, then played a game of Monopoly which i completely killed them in. Ate a huge lunch, and then watched movies and we all played with our presents all day. It was grand. Then around 9:35 pm Justin came over and we rushed to see Benjamin Button at the movie theater. Lasted til 12:59 am. Longest movie ever. But really great. Inspirational. Many underlying values in the movie.

And here are the gifts!




Cole Haan Genuine Leather Messenger Bag



Apple Ipod Classic 120gb Black



Cole Haan Nantucket Oxford



Minnetonka Traditional Double Bottom Softsole

Hanes Medium 5-pack V neck shirts



Some kind of super comfortable slipper from Wal-Mart

Set of 5 socks. (no pic online)
A $25 Itunes giftcard
A $20 Walden Books Giftcard

Great Christmas. I love my family. And I wish i knew if Jesus did anything on his birthday. I wonder if all the people that want to call it X-mas or something else even know that the entire point of this Holiday is the birth of Christ. Love!

I'm pretty sure everyone knows the original holiday is meant to be the celebration of Jesus, but as time moves forward and people realize that faith in unnecessary in this society they will call it something different (or keep calling it Christmas) because the TRADITIONS have been around for so long that they are still enjoyable to non-believers, just for different reasons.
