MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

It's been a while since I've written, sorry, but here's how my Christmas went down.

The 23th, we had Blandine and Jean Dorner come over for a Christmas Dinner. Jacques deMoissac also came and satyed afterwards to play some black ops with me. It was fun and I think he enjoyed it.

The 24th, well I went to a gym for the first time besides the U of M gym. Yeah I know right, who goes to a gym on the 24th? Well I wasn't the only one there. There was at least 6 other people at the gym. It was fun, although a little weird but I guess I'll get used to it.

Later that day, my parents and I went to the new restaurent in Bluemenort, Manitoba called Portokalos! It was pretty good. Our friends own the business and I think that's why we went. But the food was good, and the decoration and everything. Also, we found out that right next to it, in that little mall, there's a massage salon that offers deep tissus massages; what I've been looking for! So I will try it out some time. If it's good, it would be perfect because it is only 15 mins away from my house.

After that, we all took a nap. I slept for three and a half hours. Guess I need that. I wrapped some presents up, wrote cards and looked at videos on YouTube. Found this amazing video of a 7 year old girl that sings:

RIDDICULOUS... First thing my mother asked me after I showed her this was "What are they feeding her?"

Next came the time for our family meeting on Skype with my sister France who's presently in Japan for studies and judo. It was a weird discussion but it felt good to keep in touch with her. Soon came the time to say good-bye and with that, time to leave to go to midnight mass. It was fun since I hadn't been to church for a while. The new priest has, as my dad said, "a very feminin voice". And next to him was a guest priest who had the hardest voice ever so it was quite the transition between the two. I saw some friends and handed out my presents.

As we were leaving, I was surprised at how fast the church emptied. I don't remember being the last ones to leave the church. Hhhmmm, I guess everyone is eager to open there presents!

Speaking of which, I got more then I hope for! But it's not just the quantity, it's more the quality. In my case, I had both, lucky me! Here's a preview of what I recieved.

First of all, here is our Christmas tree that I decorated! I know right, very stylish even though it doesn't change much every year since we use the same decorations...
