Christmas!

I got my mum a hefty gift card to a gardening website she frequents, so she can buy a bunch of seeds and plants for her garden and future business' inventory. I bought my sister Just Dance 3, and a 20 dollar Wii Point card so she could buy a good number of DLC songs for the game. For my brother I got Homefront and Bulletstorm (both pre-owned) and I'm paying for his Xbox Live Gold account for a few months. My mum's boyfriend doesn't celebrate Christmas, and thus doesn't like to get presents, but I did find a way to give him SOMETHING: paid him back the money he lent me to afford Windows 7 for my new computer. For my girlfriend, I got her long-anticipated Sonic Generations and a pretty expensive light box set for her jewelry making. And finally for my friend, Max, I'm letting him pick a Steam game, and I'm also gonna get him Saints Row 3 so we can play multiplayer.

As for what we're doing... same thing as every year. Tomorrow, Christmas Eve day, early morning we're going to my uncle's house for a smallish party, gonna stay til a little bit past 2 PM, then we're leaving and going home to prepare Christmas Eve dinner, with a few people coming to our house that night. On Christmas morning, we get up about 8 AM, settle down, start opening and exchanging gifts. Once that is all done, we have our usual Christmas morning breakfast (lots of bacon and cinnamon rolls--I love me the orange frosted cinnamon rolls). After that, we enjoy everything for a bit until about noon, then we have to drive about an hour away, meeting up with my father, get dropped off with him, then we go and celebrate Christmas at his house, including a full Christmas dinner with everyone on his side of the family. Then once it gets to about 10 PM, we leave and head back home, and that concludes our Christmas day.
