christmas.

christmas is over. the day after christmas is the worst day of the year, i think. going downstairs and seeing the mess of the living room with new goodies and tid bits of wrapping paper is so sad, because all the giddy anticipation is over. yes, even as a 20 year old i experienced a bit of this today. to end this depressing note, i had a great christmas with my family. my mom said it felt like it was a "grown up christmas" for me, and i think she is right. each year it becomes less and less about the presents, and more about the spirit of christmas, family, comfort, and love. to quote jamie myers, "i think i am transitioning into adulthood fairly well" haha!

but now that christmas is over new years is left to look forward to! as a goal-oriented person i love this holiday. its like a clean slate, a new beginining, a fresh start, etc. basically its amazingness. its refereshing to be able to think about a whole new year. and i have a good feeling about 2010. i wont go into deatils, as many of the reasons i have such high hopes for this year are solely based on susperstition. (ex: 201o is an even year, divisible by 5 (my fav number)) yesss, im a fuhhh-reak, i get this obsession from my mother.

last photos of christmas '09:

about the 75th photo taken of the Lester family christmas tree '09.

my aunt got us reindeer antlers. shockingly enough, this photo ranks in the top of favorite family pics.

hope everyone had a wonderful christmas, and is having a relaxing break. i know i will have to adjust when i am expected to do more than sleep till 10, and watch 90210 all day long. but i will enjoy it for now!
