NEW YEARS.

Happy 2012 everybody! World hasn't ended yet, that's a plus.
Sorry for the late blog post, but I wanted to save this puppy for new years.


For new years this year, I had my cousins Alex, and Christopher over. Alex is sleeping over at my house so he is sitting right next to me helping me write this. They both got to my house at around dinner time and we killed time by playing Terraria on the computer for about 3 hours. After that we got kicked off by our parents, so we went and played a game called Quelf. Where basically you pick a card, and you have to do what it says or you get a penalty. So, Christopher was sitting under the table, and I was playing leap frog with Rob while Alex was singing "Take me out to the ball game" This game, is quite entertaining.

After we were done with that it was time for the ball drop. So we all went downstairs and started shooting each other in the face with those unrolling party thingys.

After counting down, the clock hit midnight and we all went WHOOOOO! Then screamed because of all the people making out on the TV. We turned off the TV, shook hands and started to make jokes about HEH, I BET I'M THE FIRST PERSON TO DO THIS THIS YEAR... LOHLOHAHAEHH.
or,
FIRST TOOT OF THE YEAR,
FIRST TEXT OF THE YEAR,
Etc, etc.

Or even,
I HAVEN'T SHOWERED SINCE LAST YEAR,
I HAVEN'T DRANK ANY WATER SINCE LAST YEAR.
The list goes on and on and for some reason, these jokes never get old.


After all that new years stuff, the party continues until the wee hours of the night.


While I was writing this, Alex has drawn this beautiful picture that explains the 2012 new years perfectly:

Happy new years!

The Christmas Post.

Christmas. Its the most magical time of year.

With the snow, the Christmas lights, the Christmas tree, And all the gifts everybody is giving each other...
chestnuts roasting over an open fire...
Yes, its all very magical.

But what are the parts of Christmas that stick out most?

Christmas music
Before thanksgiving, you can hear it on the radio.

But what they don't know, is the Christmas celebration technically doesn't start until AFTER Christmas day.

Gifts
What most people look forwards to most. What could be inside that wrapping paper?
Shake it, measure it, you can never be sure what it is until you rip off that paper.

There are many different methods of unwrapping a gift. I usually like to rip open a little hole and guess what it is from what I can see through the little hole.

Christmas lights
Around winter, it gets dark really fast. But, when its dark, its also bright with everyone putting put their Christmas lights. Some people go all out and decorate every contour of their house while others just hang some off their roof.

Snow
Of course! The magical white stuff.

Santa
Sometimes the fake ones at the mall can be a bit creepy, but Santa is still pretty awesome.
I still cant figure out where he gets his funds to buy so many presents.
Maybe he has a special card that makes the people that own the store have to give him everything he wants for FREE. Otherwise I bet they get coal.
Poor store owners must really not like Santa black mailing them like that.

Something some people might not know is that Santa is short for Saint Nicholas.

Christmas feasting
Its Christmas day, and the relatives come over with food. You lay it out and munch on it all day.


Merry Christmas everyone!
