Merry Christmas!
Evening, Christmas Day!Wow what a crazy time since I've been home. Last wednesday my parents asked me to come with them to pick up 'furniture' that was supposedly a christmas present and they needed my help loading it into the car. So I went. We drive into Glastonbury and lo and behold, pull into a Volkswagon Dealership. Me, being the blonde that I am, say "what furniture can you buy here?" Oh the stupid things I say. So we get out of the car and several newer cars are parked in front of the dealership, engines running. My father points to a silver Jetta and says, "I think the silver one's yours Ames." My heart must have skipped a beat. My parents have been telling me forever that I would not get a car from them and that I would have to pay for it myself. Apparently not! We sign all the papers and I can barely do anything except grin like a little kid. I even found out that Eric was in on the secret! The stinker!!!! The amusing part of all of it is that I had just several days before told my parents how my dream (albeit one I though unrealistic) of christmas would be to wake up, reach into the last part of my stocking and pull out a set of car keys and have my own car sitting outside. Who knew that such a wild fantasy would actually come true? As I reflect on this, I realize that I am extremely fortunate to have the family that I have. I am extremely thankful for everything that they have done for me.
Some details about my cute little silver Jetta.
2003 5-speed
This means that I have to learn how to drive a standard. My current issue is getting the car rolling in 1st speed. I just have to learn before Eric gets here.
Christmas today was excellent as well. I finally have an iPod. Which cannot be used with my laptop due to the stinky USB ports. At least the good computer in the family room can transfer my music over. I got a cool cookbook from Better Home and Garden. I made cheese muffins for dinner tonight! They came out really awesome! I got a couple cds, Narnia, Beauty and the Beast (Broadway version), Rent (movie version), and HG2G soundtrack which are all awesome!
Poor Eric is sick for Christmas. I hope he gets better soon.
My favorite Christmas currently is "Father Christmas" by Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Here are the lyrics:
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked at the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise
I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas you get you deserve
Have a Merry Christmas and God Bless!
