REALLY Late Christmas Post

Hey guys!!!!! Don't really know if there are any of you actually out there.

Boy, it has been awhile since I last posted. I probably should post less spastically and set days were I absolutely have to have a post ready to publish. Seeing as how this is a school assignment it builds up too much. Anyway, I'm just going to say how my Christmas went.

T'was December 25th and all through the house, everybody was stirring and walking about. HAHAHAHAH  I can't believe I'm actually going to post that sentence. Crap, I'm getting off track again, back to Christmas! My mother's side of the family has this game that we all compete in on Christmas called "Christmas Gifts". It's where when you see someone for the first time that day and you have to say, "christmas gifts" to them before they say it to you. It's so much fun even the grown-ups play in the game. I think year I got nearly everyone. There's not a prize for the person who gets the most people but it's a great way to get everybody in the spirit Christmas morning and it's a ton of fun. So I was in Virginia which is where my mom's side of the family lives. They all live on this enormous piece of land that we've nicknamed "Lorely" ("lor-ah-lee") . The driveway is mostly rocks and dirt daily because it's a mile and a half or two miles long. I have 14 cousins on my mom's side. So yah it gets pretty hectic when we come all the way from Utah to see them. They also live in a small town like Park City except it has less famous events. The name of it is Charlottesville. It's amazingly beautiful and very spread out. So on Christmas we open presents at the Big House which is what everyone calls my grandfather and grandmother's house on which they own a farm. That's where my family stays because all of her siblings have houses on the road and it, miraculously, has enough space to fit all 6 of us plus more!

Usually my family has to wait for a little while for everyone to show up. But I don't usually mind waiting. It gives me time to eat some breakfast before the junk fest that comes with it being a holiday starts, plus the wait make everything sweeter. So when when everyone gets to the Big House, we gather at the curtain that hides what's inside the room where all the presents are so nobody gets a sneak peek at what they're getting. Once the curtain was lifted we all go inside and find a place in the room to camp out while my grandfather plays Santa and hands out the presents. He does that so it lasts longer and we have more time to enjoy each present before the next one is given to us. I got so many amazing presents for Christmas. My favorites were my new Xbox one and my Patriots sweatshirt (some of you guys are probably not going to read anymore just because I like the Patriots but thats ok, you are allowed to have your own opinions).

Anyway that was my Christmas and I hope you guys got what you wanted! Until next time Flies!
