merry christmas!

and a happy birthday to jason all the way over in china!

i remember when i couldn’t wait until christmas day. i would count down the days and jump with joy waiting for the inevitable day to arrive. on christmas eve i would beg and plead with my parents to let me open a gift or two…or all of them. i would get so excited about santa coming over that i wouldn’t be able to sleep.

when i finally was able to go to sleep, i would wake up extra early so that i could open up presents. on a normal school day, it was all that my mom could do to get me up and out of bed by 8pm. on a normal weekend, i’d sleep until 10. but on christmas day i’d be up at 5:30 and i’d be tugging my dad’s arm trying to wake him up so we could open presents.

good times.
