Christmas, Ahh not Too Shabby

Well looks like I underestimated the spirit of Christmas, I actually spent it at my sister's house. Which wasn’t bad if I exclude sleeping on my niece’s bed with her many stuffed animals. Lets see she had a about 5 dogs, 6 tigers and about 15 other miscellanies stuffed animals including dolls. I probably got about 3 hours of sleep, which was fine since I had my niece and nephew around to entertain me.

I was happy to be woken up from my Amazon slumber by my nephew’s tumbling towards the Christmas tree, I am a light sleeper so going back to sleep was out of the question. Soon as I got up he asked me to build his Bionicle, which Santa Claus had brought to him on the previous night, for those of you who do not know what a Bionicle is, it’s a mastermind creation from Lego. They are robots that are build from many different smaller pieces. Now my nephew is 7 years old he isn’t good at building these creations so of course I jumped into the opportunity to help. Now keep in mind that on Christmas eve I build three of these Bionicles for him. I sat there for about an hour, I was going as fast as I could so I can have it done before church, which I may add my niece was participating as an altar girl, apparently this Bionicle was bigger then the previous ones, this one was massive, it was a dinosaur type. I finished the torso both legs and one arm before I had to run in the bathroom to shave and freshen up so I can catch up to my fleeing family. They left me so I jumped in my car and made it to church just in time.

I had forgotten how I liked going to church on Christmas day, since it consisted of singing the many Christmas song that I grew to like when I used to go to church more often. Well it was great, I found it more entertaining watching my niece fidget behind the priest during the entire mass.

After church I raced back to my sister’s house to tackle my newly acquired task brought by old Santa Claus. I finished that project an hour after arriving, soon after that task was done my sister informed me that she had given my nephew Transformers for Christmas, and that she was having trouble transforming these robots in disguise. I said to myself I’ve build 5 Bionicles already, how hard can these Transformers be. It seems that these Transformers were not like they used to be. These transformers had a skill level, their skill level was the highest of their class. My nephew wasn’t anywhere near this skill level. I once again took on this task and made it a personal issue, to be honest it wasn’t as easy as I thought. I actually needed to look at the pictures to accomplish this task. They got done and my nephew was happy. He played and smiled, that’s what every kid should do on Christmas day.

To recap on this whole Christmas thing, it was great I liked it. I spent the entire day fixing, building, eating and watching kid’s movies, watching three Bionicle movies that my nephew suggested so I can be more familiar with Bionicle. This brings me right to my Christmas wish, on the previous wishes, I asked for things that I didn’t really need, or things that I thought would make me happy. Well this wish is different, I can’t really confess this wish since that would disrupt the probability of my wish becoming a reality, which I don’t dare to. Just to say, it took a long time to figure it out and today’s occurrences had a lot to do with my decision. Well it is 11:40 right now and Christmas will be done with in about 20 minutes. Now I’m debating whether to dive back home tonight or not, hmmm Well I would get my goodnight sleep. Well I think I might, I think it is time to head back, I been away from my castle for quite enough time now.

Well Merry Christmas everyone, I hope your's was as good as mine.
