Christmas is Over

[Laddy]

I watched Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer.

I've concluded Rudolph is so gay for the elf.

I think it's vice versa, laddy

Christmas is still going on for me, until January at least. =p

Christmas sort of began on its eve, a day that I was required to work. And these are the events after work:

Christmas Eve - Wednesday
1) 8 hours of work and disappointment. After this, a relative of mine came to deliver presents.
2) Meeting up with the family of my brother's girlfriend, in which the two of us were also going to stay with until noon on Christmas. The reason for this, half of my family (comprising of my mom and dad) were out-of-state in California on vacation, and I couldn't go, in part to event number 1 under this list.
3) We got to the house too early, and sat there for like an hour and a half. Next, we were required by the mom of my brother's girlfriend to attend an hour of church service. She was actually supposed to go with her mom, but we got caught in the middle for coming down to her place. The church was crowded and had very little chairs, which is the same condition the previous year. Before the drive home, we stopped to do some last minute shopping at a nearby Wal-Greens.
4) After church, we unwrapped the remainder of our gifts that were not opened earlier in the week due to excitement and curiosity. Finally, we gathered together for a Christmas dinner with some of the relatives of my brother's girlfriend. The dinner party ended for us nearly at 3am and we all went to bed.

Christmas Day (Thursday)
1) I was finally able to pull myself completely out of bed just before noon. My brother and I were in a rush to get home, because one of our cousins was expecting to attend lunch at 1pm, but we were already late. We were late because my brother thought that we were going to attend another meal with his girlfriend's relatives at a restaurant, but the plans changed, and it ruined an event we could've had with our cousin. The couple parted with a brief exchange of angry words.
2) Driving back home in the rain, we had no official Christmas dinner. My brother and I decided that all we could do to compensate for it was lunch at Denny's. His girlfriend came over shortly and spent some time before leaving earlier tonight.

Presents I Received:
1) Gift cards from a California-native cousin of mine. Every card included some money, while I also received a trinket and a T-shirt.
2) From my brother's girlfriend, first of all, two Wii games that came together. This was opened before Christmas, and she eventually returned it due to some problems. She would later replace them with the Wii remote charging station and MySims. She, my brother and I all got addicted to the latter.
3) $20 from the mother of my brother's girlfriend. It was unexpected, but luckily I had something to give her in return.
4) From my mom, I know that she will be returning with my gift late tomorrow. I had requested her to get one of my favorite dramas on DVD while she is in California.
