The holidays have come & gone & so has the year 2011.
I overall had a good time this holiday season. I spent time with my loved ones & my dude. Oh, & of course, my cat, Xiu Xiu. However, I am happy that it's all over because the holidays were stressful this year. I didn't particularly like being broke, & not being able to buy more presents for my family. Nor did I like not having a tree for the first Christmas in our house.
Oh well, hopefully the world doesn't end this year, & I get a chance to make up for all of it this Christmas.
Here are a few photos from my holiday season:
The first Christmas presents I received were from my bestie, Jackie.
First Christmas card of the season from my friend, Venus.
Christmas morning with an awesome card giving to me by my friend, Amanda.
Christmas tree & gifts at my mom's house.
I spent Christmas Eve at my MIL's house, but I didn't take any photos. I really wasn't in the mood. I had a nice time, but honestly, I just wanted to sleep the whole day away.
On Christmas Day, which is also my Grandpa's birthday, I spent it with my family. The dude & I packed up the car with booze & gifts & headed to my mom's house. It was a nice time with my mom, step-dad, grandparents, sister, nieces & nephew, my mom's BFF, & the dude. We ate lots of good food & watched TV. We also cut a cake for my Grandpa & sang Happy Birthday to him. Good times, indeed.
Spoiled Brat...

My mother bought me practical stuff, which I asked for: towels, a plush blanket, an apron, a cookie sheet, & various other things.
I hope you had a nice holiday with family, friends, loved ones, your pets, whatever.
