On Christmas day we got out of bed at about 8:50am. We got our clothes to change into later. We were going to my Auntie’s and Uncle’s house on my Dad’s side in our pyjamas. We left the house at about 9:50am. We arrived at their house at 10:10am. Dad wasn’t there yet so we had to wait thirty more minutes. We always start by seeing what’s in our stocking. My sister, Cassie, and I always go first. There was lots of stuff in our stockings like socks, pens, candy, etc. We did youngest to oldest so my stepbrother, Dustin, and my cousins Shane, Krista, and Jessica went next. Then Mom, Dad, Auntie Mary Anne, and Uncle Tony got to see what was in their stockings. Lastly Grandma got to see what was in hers. Now comes the funnest part of all! Opening presents! Again it was youngest to oldest, but one present at a time. I got Rockband from Mom, Dad, and Cassie, a Billabong sweater from Auntie Mary Anne, Uncle Tony, and Jessica, light pink LuluLemon headband from Shane and Krista, thirty dollars gift certificate to Southland from Dustin. We opened all our presents from Grandma on Christmas Eve. This part was really fun too! Brunch! There was cinnamon buns made by grandma, something like a cheese, bacon, egg omelet(cooked in a special way), lots of goodies, like fruit and cookies, and fruit punch. After we ate, Krista and Shane had to go to Krista’s family’s house, so they had to leave. Cassie and I brought our Playstation 2 and played the Rockband I got. I played the guitar, Cassie played the drums, and Jessica sang. We took turns playing each instrument. While we were playing Dustin had to go to his house to celebrate Christmas with his mom’s side. We played Rockband for a little while. Then Grandma wanted to play cards, so we played Whist. We played Whist for about 4-5 hours. Then we ate supper. There were cabbage rolls, ranch salad, macaroni salad, and a lot more! Then Cassie and I played Rockband some more. Lastly we sang karaoke, they call it Magic Mic, It’s from the Philippines and it is very popular there too!
This Christmas was really fun, and I can’t wait till next year!
