day in a life

Last Wednesday was my last exam, in horror studies. It was also my dads birthday, he would be 67 years old if he were alive. I was really nervous for the test but I think I did OK. Well now my Christmas vacation has started and I am reading for myself for once. My son will spend the holidays with his dad so I am trying to make as much as I can out of these days in decorating and baking and stuff like that. I don't really like decorations that much but he loves it.

We have a few traditions we like to hold on to, like watching Christmas Vacation and making our own wrapping paper. Also we always read Christmas Carol by Dickens, that is a necessary part of this season.

It is always weird not having my son during the holidays but this is the first time I won't be working on Christmas eve and on the 25th. So I'll be at my mom's house, I really just want a quiet night at home but my mom would really never forgive me and it would ruin her night.

Here on the ice the main night is the 24th, we open presents and everything that night and then we just get two extra days off. We are very good at adding holidays to the calendar, we have 'the second' in everything.

The santa's have arrived, well three of them have, ten more to come. My son is up just over six every morning because he is so excited to see what is in his shoe.

Well I have nothing to do except read so that is what I am going to do now.
