Merry Christmas! :christmastree: This year Christmas has really snuck up on me. But then, for the past two months I’ve been busy with having and then caring for Alyssa :heart:, and this past week was spent seeing my grandmother and grieving. 
However, we’re still going to try to have a nice Christmas. :nod: My grandmother wouldn’t want us moping around and being miserable. She’d tell us to “cut that shit out” because crying “ain’t doing [you] any good”. :no:
So, is everyone having a nice Christmas so far? My brothers have made out like bandits. Especially Yusef, when it comes to getting something he’s been wanting for a long, long time. Daniel, my mother and I bought him a Gameboy Advance SP, carry case and a Nicktoons video game. He’ll be so excited, I can’t wait! :bounce: He has several other things as well, and Amr is getting things he really wanted: more crayons, markers, popcorn (seriously, he asked for popcorn! :haha:), a stuffed Clifford, and legos. I also bought a white turtleneck and iron-on transfer sheets and printed out a nice, full size, colored and detailed picture of Mario (he is obsessed with Mario) and ironed it on the turtleneck. I can’t wait to see the look on his face when he sees that shirt! He’ll probably wear it until it rots off. :laugh:
I have a few things under the Christmas tree for Daniel, and he has three things under it for me. I know what one thing is, because I begged him for it and we purchased it online together – a Wacom graphics tablet! :clap: I can’t wait to rip that present open!

So far so good for me, I plan on sleeping in.. having a big brunch and opening the presents I got. I’m equally excited about the response of the people whom I got gifts for
I’m sorry about your grandmother. I lost my grandfather fairly recently and it was and still is is tough, but I pulled through. Merry Christmas!
My little cousin has been begging for that gameboy for a while. Maybe Santa will bring it
The turtleneck is suck a cute & creative idea. Let us know how they like their presents!! My grandmother & grandfather would never want us to greive for them whick is why we keep their memory a happy one. I know your grandmother will be happy! Merry Christmas, Jenn! :heart:

Merry Christmas!
So far Christmas here is going really well. It sounds like you got your brothers some cool stuff. Amr’s got good taste, asking for the popcorn. Popcorn rocks. 
Merry Christmas, Jenn!
My sister asked for a poinsettia and carrots. :haha: She didn’t get them, though. I got everything I wanted–I’m on my new laptop right now! :laugh:
Anyways, I hope you and your family’s Christmas is good!
i completely understand what you mean about christmas sneaking up this year because of the baby…it’s been the same way for me.
our christmas is kind of crappy so far…we’re all sick!
anyway, have fun opening your presents (and i’m very jealous, by the way, of your wacom graphics tablet!!)
Merry Christmas! I got a GameBoy Advance SP and carrycase too LOL! I can’t wait to see what kind of graphics you make with your graphics tablet. I’m glad that you guys are able to work around your tragedy and still have a merry christmas!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
:hug:
Your Grandmother must be proud of you, being so strong. You all will make her very happy to have a good Christmas for her. That tablet sounds really awesome, cant wait to see your graphics either!! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Jennifer. I hope you and your family have a good one! :-)
Merry Christmas!
Popcorn is a odd thing to ask for. Kids are funny sometimes.
Your optism about your grandmother’s death is very encouraging, indeed.
Haha I got my brother a Gameboy Advance too… except instead of 9 (or is it 10?) he’s 21, ha.
Happy holidays! I hope you had a nice day, considering. Take care, honey. :hug:
Christmas was good for me! I’m so sorry about your grandmother but you’re right, she wouldn’t want to spoil your Christmas. Hope you have/had a great time!
Merry Christmas!
Sorry I’m late. :dammit: I’m sorry about your grandmother. 
Atleast she didn’t suffer any more though. :heart:
Happy holidays!
