Christmas Eve 2009

Well I can't say that I'm 'in the spirit' of Christmas right now, but hey, I'll give it a shot. The Elivs Christmas album is not helping much either. How is it that I've never been a big fan of Christmas music but somehow Elvis' Christmas songs do it for me sometimes? I don't even like Elvis that much. Just doesnt feel like Christmas around here. Even KZ had some Christmas perks. Here, its just cold, wet and muddy. If I could have one Christmas wish it would be to wake up tomorrow at Mom's have a huge breakfast and sit around laughing all morning while opening gifts. Here, I just have to wake up, have some instant coffee and bread for breakfast and then go to school for 6 hours. Bah-Humbug to that!

Anyway, we had our 'Christmas' padgent at school today. It wasnt really a Christmas padgent, it was more for New Year's but Santa a.k.a. one of my 9th graders was there and there was a tree. I gave some presents to my counterparts, director and vice-director thanks to Mom and Elaine who sent them over. I didnt get anything and that was fine with me. Better to give than... well you know. I'm also planning to give my host-family their gifts tomorrow night at dinner. The only thing I'm really looking forward to other than that is diggin' into my stocking that Mom sent me tomorrow morning.

There really isnt anything to tell you on this post. Just thought I would say Merry Christmas and put up two editions of MTV. Hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
