Christmas 2006

So today is Monday, December 25, 2006. What a fucking day. I remember the days when I could barely sleep through the night, wait anxiously till 6am to wake up my little sister and then crash the parents room. That was then. Fastforward to present. Still waking up early, but for every reason that is not included in that wonderful memory of what xmas used to be to me. A bit sad about it to be honest, that I can’t get that back anymore. The closest I will get, and it will probably be better, is waiting till my daughter is old enough to have those same feelings about xmas. Right now she is still too little, but I shit you not, having kids around the holidays (even real little ones) is so damn tiring. And it doesn’t make it easy when your parents, and your fiance’s parents are divorced. What a neverending headache it turns out to be. Well, I shouldn’t say headache because everyone loves to see the baby, which is cute, but it is most certainly is tiring. I can’t wait till we get our own house and start our own traditions…everyone coming to our house to exchange gifts with the kids. But till then, I (we) will have to deal with all the running around. Ah the joys of parenthood.

Merry Christmas to all, and Happy New Year.
