It's Day morning. In other countries children open their gifts around this time of the day. But here in Sweden Christmas is celebrated on the Eve and so I got my gifts yesterday. But before that, the day started with me waking up at 8 am and then watching some telly until the Christmas Peace is announced. From that on it was playing Pokémon White for a good 3 hours before I woke my mum up, as she went to rest for a bit before we were going to my sister's.
At 2.30 pm my sister's boyfriend came to pick me, my mum and my brother up and we took the around one hour trip to their house. There we ate dinner, watched some more telly, sang songs, tried to keep my 2 month old niece entertained because she was so tired she just started crying if it got boring, exchanged gifts and then my brother took part in a local tradition. He's completely out now, sleeping in his bedroom, in which I'm sitting and writing this entry while guarding my cat, as I don't want him to eat my brother's toes up.
So what did I get?
Let's start what I gave away. To my brother I gave my old tablet, which he really wanted, and a volume of Battle Angel Alita and Skip Beat together with my mum; To my sister, her boyfriend and their daughter I gave two boxes of chocolate together with the rest of the family and two hand-painted boxes I personally painted; To my mum I got a book. I can say all were happy about the gifts.
Then to what I got... I got two films (My Neighbour Totoro and The Black Cauldron) as a joint gift from my mum and my brother and random-access memory and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy from my brother; my sister got me Pokémon HeartGold; my mum gave me four of her paintings and two picture frames with the promise of giving me two more.
My mum also got two other books, and one of them is the first book from the series The Wheel of Time, which means I might sit down and read it in the close future. I have as a goal to read and review 13 books next year. I also hope to review some games. On my list of games I need to play (and which I have a console to) and review are as follows Pokémon White, Pokémon HeartGold, Dissidia: Final Fantasy, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. More about my plans closer to the new year.
How was your Christmas? Mine was, in the end, surprisingly good. I don't like Christmas, so I don't usually find it good or fun, but this year honestly was fun.
