Hey cyberspacers, it's almost Christmas.
Due to my family dynamic I had an early Christmas yesterday. I'm spending actual Christmas with my father's half of the family, but the one this weekend was my mother's half of the family. I don't think I've expressed quite enough how much I love my family. On Friday and Saturday I spent large amounts of time either playing video games or holding my new baby cousin. He is the cutest sweetest baby I have ever seen. For the majority of the time he was rather quiet, just looking around, which for being not a month old is pretty damn good to be awake for that long.
I also realized a little more about the magic of Christmas.
My cousin Kenzie is nine. She's one of those awesome kids that reads and reads and at her age still believes in Santa Claus. At somewhere around one am there were only 4 people left awake. I was getting tired and planning on going to sleep rather shortly. At that point I realized that the two people that usually set up all the christmas things for the morning had already gone into very heavy sleep. My uncles were in the basement playing darts, and this is the first year that that the other has spent Christmas with us. Until setting up that night I had never quite realised how much work everyone else goes through to make that magical. Setting that up was insane, but also a huge adrenaline rush for some reason.
So cyberspacers, how did you spend your saturday?
