Why am I so EXCITED?!

Well, first of all tonight is the band concert featuring all three of Athen's finest bands! I am in the younest group, being a freshman and all. We are playing four wonderful pieces, but my favorite is "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"! We will get to show the older members just what we're made of :).
Tomorrow is the last day before BREAK!!! Tomorrow is gonna be sooo great. We are having a party in Band and Study Skills. Tomorrow is also when I am delivering a load of gifts to my friends! And after tomorrow it's freedom! HAHAHA! I am sooooooooooo ecstatic to see my four year old cousin. She came up two weekends ago to see me in the Cary Christmas Parade and after we went to see Disney on Ice. Two weeks ago seems like FOOOOREVER ago and I can't wait to see her again! :) I also get to see most of my family and I haven't seen them since like... I can't even remember.
So my mom was trying to be sneaky... but I think I saw some of my gifts in her trunk and I saw a Hollister bag! Yaaayyy! I also really want a profession Canon Rebel T3 camera. Tomorrow just can't get here fast enough.

My Holiday Traditions

During the holiday season, my mom and I travel down to see the rest of my family who live in Wilmington. We usually stay at my aunt's for Christmas Eve and Christimas day and stay at my Grandpa's (in Holden Beach) through New Year's.
Used to on Christmas Eve all the kids (well now whats left of the kids) get to open one small gift. Of course the rest are saved for Christmas! Also on Christmas Eve, we leave out cookies and milk for Santa Clause and ofcourse carrots for the reindeer xD. When I was yonger we used to spread a mix of oatmeal, sparkles, and something else in the yard so the Reindeers could find their way my house.
I was supposed to be born on Christmas, but I came four days late on the 29th. So over Winter Break I get to celebrate Christmas, My Birthday, My two cousin's, and New Year's :). When I was younger I had small parties with my cousins. I would get a cool cake from Apple Annie's and we would go to Chuck E. Cheeses, Jelly Bean's, or Jungle Rapids. Now that I'm older, my mom takes me out to a movie and then to my favorite restraunt (OUTBACK).
