christmas memories

i start a new class tonight which is so silly. it will start tonight and then go on break for 3 weeks. it took all the energy i had to get here tonight. i still want to be on christmas vacation. i'm sitting in the computer lab killing some time before i have to go into class. i'm typing really fast so everyone thinks i'm super smart and writing a long paper just for fun. i'm in here thinking about some of my favorite christmas memories. would you like to hear them?
-the year we got all our presents on christmas eve. it was the christmas that i got my american girl doll. oh, i loved her so much. i'm pretty sure i brushed her hair everyday, which is more than i brush my own hair. we all opened our presents and then watched a christmas carol and ate crunch and munch. it was really fun.
-all the christmas' that my sister and i would find our presents. if they were clothes, we would usually end up trying them on. we were awful.
-this isn't christmas, it's birthday, but they're close so it doesn't matter. i think i was five, maybe older, but i got a precious moments bible and a totally hair barbie. the barbie came with gel. i think i used all of it for my own hair. anyways, those were the two best presents ever. sometimes i still read that precious moments bible.
-last christmas when the roommates and i went and picked out our christmas tree and then set it up at home listening to carols. it was a fun bonding/tradition setting moment.
-every christmas that my great grandma would make santa claus out of the huge apples. it was the neatest thing. she would put cloves in the apple as his buttons and every year i would somehow eat one and every year i would spit it out because it's so gross. i never learn.
-i got a baby doll from my grandma. it was a boy and i named him michael james, i called him mikey for short. if you moved the baby the right way it would say, "mama." i carried that little guy every where i went until i think i was about 22. just kidding. 17. no no no, i must have been 12. i loved him so much.

i have two clementine oranges sitting in my purse and i really want to eat them before class, but there is a sign that says no food. and when you peel oranges the whole room you're in smells like them. i don't want to make these people jealous and i really don't want to share.
