Normally, I would use this time to rant about how I had a family gathering tonight (with my dad's side of the family) and received nifty presents. Unfortunately, I'm not really feeling like ranting.

I'm trying to stay positive though. I really am. It's just hard to do so when the people you care most about are so far away. I wish I could be with every single one of you this Christmas. Maybe another Christmas?

So tomorrow, we have breakfast at my grandparents' house (Mum's side, obviously). I love Christmas breakfast at my grandparents' house. I told Mum earlier tonight that I wish we were Jewish so I could have eight days of this. :)

We (Mum, Dad, my little brother Joseph, & I) are leaving early Sunday morning for the Smokey Mountains. Mum and Dad both want to head back late Tuesday night but I don't really see the point in that. Of course, Wednesday is the absolute latest we could stay but still.. I think we should stay until Wednesday night. Good thing I'll be off work on Thursday so I don't have to literally drag myself in.

Anyway, the only point of this entry really is to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas. I hope everyone has tons of Christmas cookies, kick-ass presents, and lots of love from the family. Maybe some of you can even be lucky enough to have someone to kiss underneath the mistletoe. I wish I did.

Merry Christmas, my darlings! I love you all!
