Happy Holidays!

Christmas was fantastic this year! Last night, we had our family Christmas dinner. It was so good I couldn't even eat any desert (too full). Everyone was getting along, and we all pitched in to help get everything ready and then clean everything up. Then we played Crainium - it was the first time I can remember my family ever finishing a game together with all of us, without someone getting upset, or bored, or there being a huge fight. It was hilarious, and fun, and... well, wow!

I was teamed with Jessica, and we didn't win, but we did beat Mom and Dad. We were tied with Megan and Leslie right at the end. It was pretty close!

Then this morning we had breakfast and opened presents. We got some new clothing, all of which I love. I'm wearing some right now. My sister bought me a charm bracelet, and I got some movies... on DVD.

Yeah, my parents got me a DVD player!

I was so thrilled with that, it was hard for the other presents to compare! I have a DVD player! Yay! Now... I plan to order Card Captor Sakura on DVD. And probably Weiss Kreuz, too. I can't wait! My parents already bought me Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as a present, and a really old Shirley Temple movie called 'The Little Princess'. I plan to go out tomorrow and buy Lord of the Rings, the extended version. I can't wait to see it again!

And, I managed to get my Christmas fic, 'Just Perfect' finished in time. I posted it on the YoujixAya and KenxOmi lists, as well as Fanfiction.Net, my website, and the KO Fanfiction Archive.

Now... to work on the New Years fic.

Well, I'll start on that tomorrow. Today, it is Christmas, and I intend to spend some time with family.
