Happy - err... After Christmas? lol

Well, I had hoped to post a Happy Christmas message for you all, but alas, it's 12:30 pm now, so I guess it isn't really Christmas now, eh? hehe. Oh well! I tried! :3

So, just a little update for anyone reading this..

First off, I finished watching Higurashi no Naku koro Ni (although a new season will be out in Feb.) on Christmas Eve and I intend to write a proper review of it later in the week.

Secondly, well.. Christmas Eve was interesting.. :P At least I didn't get laundry soap this year (if you don't know, feel free to ask ^^; ). Anyhow, having some time to spend with my dad and my Aunt Cindy was fun. Oh, and Aunt Cindy's little girl, my cousing Sunny (who is five). I was really happy to see this part of my family and having some time to talk with them (for the small amount of time my step-monster wasn't aroung) was really awesome. :) Dinner was good, too! My Grandma's lasanga was excellent as always (although I could have done without having my step-mother blatantly insulting my Grandmother's ambrosia salad.. That woman has absoltuly no class.. -_-; ).
Present opening was fun, although Ryan and I already knew what we were getting from Grandma and Grandpa, since we bought it and wrapped it ourselves.. Lol.. The presents from my Dad, brother, step-brother and step-monster were... Better than last year (who gives a water cooler to two teenagers who don't have a car to get refill bottles with? ^^; ), thankfully, but still a bit odd.. Oh well! The photo-printer (which my Dad obviously picked out - he even said so), was a nice idea, although we also ended up with some really weird junk.. And dollar store stuff.. Yay to my step-monster.. (who we are guessing also spent the $100.00 of Grandma's money we didn't get on her bratty kid's brand new t.v.... ).
Anyhow, some moron decided to buy my step-monster booze, which was a disaster and led to her mixing up drinks and pressuring my grandma into taking shots.. Yah.. My Dad, Ryan and I all sat together in the living room when we heard "chug, Grandma! Chug! Chug!"... The three of us were about ready to hide under the couch.. We were all so totally blown away.. Then she tried getting my grandpa to do it and oy.. >>; Luckily, it all went without incident and my dad shortly got us all out the door.. On the way home, we ended up stopping at my other aunt's place and my step-mother said "just for one minute", which turned in to more like 30-45 minutes..

Oh well, it all ended up going fairly well! :P Better than I expected, at least. We got home dead tired, though.. Which inspired today's sketch:























Lol, yah, that about summed us up after the 24th! XD We felt about that this morning, too (Ry still feels like that, lol).
Sadly, we didn't make it to my Nana's, we didn't wake up until about 1pm and we were still tired :P! But we did talk with her (and my mother, step-father and step-grandfather) today, though. Later, Ry got to talk with his family, too, so that all went well.
We got lots of nice gifts this year, too.
As for dinner, we had pancakes and eggs 'cause we were too lazy to cook anything else! XD Annddd.. We spent most of the evening watching X-Files episodes from my DVD set.. :P It was quiet and it was lots of fun!
Anyhow, that's all for now, I will type more tomorrow, if I get a chance (we may be seeing Nana tomorrow, since we missed her today). I hope all is well with everyone! ^^ Take care! :)
