Christmas time is.... near

wow, in the past few days so many people have posted!!! yipee!!! So I decorated the Christmas tree at my dad's house yesterday, it's HUGE. We always get big trees because our living room is two stories. But this year it took us like ages to get the angel at least close to the top and she's sorta facing the wrong direction, but we couldn't really fix it.

I'm at my step grandpa's and step-step-grandma's house right now. It's my grandpa's birthday and we're gonna go out and eat dinner sometime. I'm sitting downstairs on the computer instead of socializing, but i think it's ok. I'm SO tired of baby-sitting my little sister, i finally told her to go upstaors so i could spend some time with my older sister and she started crying.

Eh, well... tomorrow i'm singing at church which'll be weird cause it'll be like the first time i'm in an actual church service for around a year, and the first time i'll be at this specifuc church for like three years. (i'm gonna be at the church that i went to when i was little, and i haven't gone there for ages because my parents went there together but when they got divorced it was awkward for either of them to go there so i ended up not going there even though all the people i knew went there and it was like three minutes from myself....)

i've been really busy getting ready for christmas at both housees, spending time with my family, making presents, making everyone feel good etc. etc. etc. Although when i make presents it's usually pretty fun. I'm making paintings for all my relatives and i've got this reallllly cool big plan which i'm gonna do with allth e various paitings which i've started but will take me a really long time.

So tomorrow evening i'm at my dad's house and we all open one present. Then we go to sleep, wake up in the morning and open the rest at my dad's house. Then around ten my mom comes to pick us up and we open presents at her house. Then either tuesday or wednesday we come back here and open presents with my cousins and grandparents. It's like three different christmases!!!

That's the cool thing about having such a big family, but the problem is I really should (basically have to) get pressents for all of them too!

What're you all doing for the holidays? What holiday do you celebrate? etc.
