once you open one, you just can't stop, and suddenly things have gotten all crazy and theres wrapping paper strewn across the entire living room. That was what happened to my family as we embarked on the traditional 'one gift' opening last night. We got greedy, and just ended up opening everything. Its funny how every year, something strange happens to me as the opening of gifts progresses. Im all excited at first, semi excited mid way, and for some reason, tired at the end. Im never disapointed, but always grateful, but for some reason, i get this feeling inside me. I think I get sad that after all the hard work wrapping and tying ribbons, arranging gifts under the tree and what not, the work is ruined in a matter of minutes. The christmas tree seems sad with out the truck load of gifts underneath it. I just miss seeing them there I guess....miss the anticipation. Alas, Im over it now. Im presently so full. It's nearly 2:30, and we havent "eaten" since breakfast early this morning, but rather we've been 'munching' on junk food all afternoon. Christmas goodies and chocolates...nuts and chips, sweets and pop. I feel like Im about to burst. My excuse of course is that Im never home, and it is Christmas afterall...why not indulge? Phew, hope theres room for some shrimp ring, turkey and STOVE TOP stuffing!!!! woo woo. Mmmm...Im off to watch my brother play one of the 3 Playstation games he got....man that kid is spoiled. Ciao! Buone Natale:)
