The Holidays

Well the holidays are finally over and all the craziness has died down. Things are starting to get back to normal, friends are back at school and I am the lucky one that gets to continue to stay at home all day and do pretty much nothing. I know you are all jealous of this. For those of you who are not in Chicago, you missed out on a sweet ugly sweater party. I think our friend Dan won with probably the ugliest sweater I have ever seen. I cant find a picture of it right now, but if I find one I will throw it on here. For a white elephant gift I got one of those nerf disc shooter things. We lost a lot of those discs that night I am pretty sure.

Christmas came up really quickly. For Christmas Eve, the family all got together at my parents house for dinner and to open presents. I got a White Sox pull over jacket, a Blackhawks long sleeve tee, some really nice comfy socks, some gift cards, candy and an awesome plaque of Mark Buehrle's no hitter in 2007. I got a phone call at 3am on Christmas morning. It had snowed and I had to go into work and shovel before I went about my Christmas day. I got off of work at 9am and immediately had to go to my parents house for breakfast and then cleaned out our stockings. Then we had a family Christmas at my aunts house, we watched a bunch of star wars while there and had an awesome meal. I went home and crashed right away after a long ass day. Then the day after Christmas I had to go back out and shovel more. Haven't had to shovel since then.The only work I have done since then is take down Christmas lights the last two days. Went to another family Christmas last Saturday. On both sides of the family I never realized how many children my cousins have and have been having. It is insanity.


Thats about all I have for now, comment and let me know how all of your holidays were.
