We arrived home to find that in our absence the heater had stopped working. Now coming from Hawaii where it was very warm to our house which was very cold was quite a shock. Fortunately about twenty-two or three years ago when my Dad built the house he installed a “woodstove” heater which still functions occasionally whenever somebody bothers to put wood and a lighted match into it which is seldom. But despite the fact that the “woodstove” heater has been raging since we got back my room is still a little bit cold. But my computer is keeping part of me warm…

I just have been reading the comics and I noticed one where the main character posts their Christmas wish list on the refrigerator for the rest of the family to see, and the all mention that they have all done their Christmas shopping. There are some advantages to writing wish lists early.

Now, for an update on my brothers. Daniel: Have received five dollars worth of internet connection while gone but I’m not sure that was a Christmas present. John: He says he has one for me but I haven’t gotten it yet. Andrew: Admits he didn’t get one for me.

So you know what I think I’m going to do? I think I’m going to try going shopping in the after Christmas sales at Walmart and Toys R Us and buy myself a few toys to wrap up and have a special Christmas party for myself since I do miss opening wrapped presents, although the Cruise was a GREAT Christmas present which couldn’t be wrapped. So I suppose I’m not totally without Christmas presents, I got a cruise and some souvenirs from Hawaii from my parents and a check for fifty dollars from one Grandmother and a yet unopened present from my other Grandmother. And that is why I think I’m going to buy myself a few Christmas presents, probably with the fifty dollars from my Grandmother:) But considering the state of my room… Well, I suppose having a lot of stuff in it means less room for cold air.

And speaking of cold air I am not particularly feeling healthy due to the amount of forbidden food I consumed on the cruise. I should be feeling healthy again soon but right now it is rather fun just lying down in bed and using my computer. (Insert contented sigh) I could almost be on the cruise again… Only then I was watching movies on the state room TV. So Happy holidays for what’s left of them.
