MadWords Then

Merry Christmas.

Well, today was pretty good (actually yesterday because it’s like 1:45am). I woke up really late though. I set my alarm for 6:45am, but it never went off. My parents had to wake me up at 8:30. I freaked out because it was so late. I always make sure to be awake early on Christmas Day. Oh well.

I got a laptop for Christmas. I got one last year, but I had to share it with my family. It really wasn’t mine in the end. So now I have one, a year late, but it’s better than nothing. I also got an iPod touch. I am in love with it. The first word I said when I saw it was, “Beautiful,” and it really is. Plus, I got a digital camera. It definitely has it’s faults (semi-cheap or just plain cheap I’m guessing), but it’s better than taking a million pictures on my cell phone.

So I basically got two big things for Christmas, if you include the laptop as last year’s present. I’m very content with everything.

I love this holiday. I like the feeling and vibe that you get from it. It’s refreshing.

@kaitlynn,

Merry Christmas, Kaitlyn.

I think that my favorite present was all of the snow melting early. I don’t know about all of you guys but my favorite season is spring right after everything melts and it is kind of cool outside. I don’t know why but I am always really happy when that type of weather comes around. it is just so refreshing. Anyways that was really random so… yeah um… HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

@Tess,

Really? I love the snow. I don’t like too much where it can get dangerous, but a few inches is perfect. It’s amazing how the world can literally transform into a winter wonderland in such a short time period. I love waking up to see the trees glistening and the street yet to be plowed. Everything is silent and still. Snow can truly bring out the real beauty in things. I love it.

Happy New Year,
Kaitlyn S.

@kaitlynn,
I think that light snow can be really stunning, but my favorite snow is wet snow becasue it is very good packing snow. I love to randomly throw snow balls at my siblings so naturally that type of snow would be my favorite.

Happy New Year!

Christmas for me was boring. For some reason I really wasn’t in the xmas spirit this year, I just wanted it to be over and be 2009 already

I knew everything I was getting because my mom bought everything in front of me….. but a gift is a gift…..
