Merry Christmas! I am NOT A Slacker.

Actually, on second thought, I am. I am a total slacker, because who wants to write a blog post when they have other things to stress about? Not me. But spending five minutes to keep Garren happy is worth it. So this one's for you Garren.
Christmas is a great holiday! In that time of season everyone's trying to be nice, there are some really funny Christmas commercials, the house is all decorated and smelling like cinnamon, and lets not forget the endless supply of treats that you get from your neighbors. Best idea ever! We also have a few fun traditions.
-Every year we give out our famous salsa and we have found if we do it early in December, then we get even more treats.
-Every year my uncle comes down from San Francisco  and gives each of the grandchildren a present. This year I got a cinch sack and sweats.
-On Christmas Eve we always buy apple cider and celebrate before we go to bed.
-On Christmas morning the me, Maddie, (my sister) and Megan (my other sister) get up at five, go down stairs, open our stockings and then sleep on the couches while we wait for everyone else to get up.
Although Christmas is a lot of fun, it can also be really busy and really stressful. I never know what I want for Christmas so it's always a surprise. One of my favorite parts of Christmas time is the white elephant gifts. It's always fun to see what people come up with. So, that is a little bit about what my Christmas looks like.

Okay, So I'm a Slacker. Merry Christmas

As much as I'd like to, I don't have an excuse this time.  I'm not lazy!  Alright, I am.  I'm lazy!  I'm lazy!  I'm...


I've had many Christmases. 15, to be exact.  Two of which were White Christmases.  Cause, you see, in Las Vegas, Christmas looked a lot like this.

That's our Christmas Tree

In Utah, I've come to discover that Christmas looks like this.

That hit me kind of unexpectedly. 

Anyway, back to Christmas.  Best season in the history of ever!  Yes, better then the season of eating, and the season of going into a sugar coma.  You know what season we could do without?  January.  Who likes January?  Uh, nobody.  What's there to like?  Christmas is over!  Everyone hates everyone else.  

Anyway, back to Christmas.  Are family has mucho Christmas traditions.  I won't list them all, because I don't want this post to take forever.  A few: Going to see the lights on Temple square.  

We went this year.  It was around 10 thousand degrees below, but man!  Was it beautiful!  

We have our Christmas dinner on Christmas eve.  Every year all the kids sleep in the same room, and wake my parents up around 5 AM, and end up going to open presents around 7:30.  Also in Las Vegas we had a party at our house with our friends on Christmas night.  Yes.  In pajamas.  Christmas is the best!  But don't talk about it now.  It's January.  I hate you.
