Isn't this the greatest picture?! Reminds me of the year my mom made my step brothers and I matching Disney Christmas sweatshirts. Mine had Minnie Mouse on it and if you pushed a button, it sang! That's right, it sang. I'll have to try and find the picture as proof.
Found it!
As for the holiday, it was enjoyable. I was the only kid home this year, so nothing too exciting to write about. Is it tragic that all I can think to write is a list of the presents I got? Damn materialistic Americans! Actually, I only got a few things which was quite nice. Quality over the quantity, as they say. I got a sweet long-sleeved camo shirt (corn-field to be exact), some sketcher slippers I've been pining for for awhile, a mini-muffin pan, pasta noodles shaped like the Space Needle (which I think is my mother's subliminal effort to get me to go to grad school in Seattle...over the course of the next few months she'll be sending me random gifts related to Seattle), and a zhu zhu pet from Burger King. Speaking of my mom, this is a funny story...we were in Fred Meyer's the another day and we see a set of zhu zhu pet accessories, and my mother thinks out loud, "why would anybody dress their pet hamster up, that's torture!" I barely had the heart to tell her that zhu zhus are toy hamsters...so what does she do, she gets me one for Christmas. My family also gave me cold hard cash. They were too lazy to fold $1's into a money chain, so they just gave me a wad of money instead. The teller at the bank though I was a stripper when I went to deposit it in my account. Classy! I bought new skates with that money though. My holiday has been reduced down to a secular list of greed-inducing acquisitions. Oh, bother.
I like being on the giving end, more than the receiving end. This year, I made my mom's dog a snuggie for Christmas. It's ridiculous.
Poor thing.
