Hello people of all ages. Welcome to a world of festivities. December is one of my favorite times of year (along with Summer break, Spring break, and Thanksgiving break ^x^). So many things happen then.
First Amberstripe and Blotchblaze (mine and Silversong's stuffed animals) have their anniversary on the 16th (but this year they celebrated on the 18th). Then we have the Tuesday before Christmas where me and Squirtle exchange Christmas gifts. Then comes Christmas eve. Our church has a 5-o-clock service, and every year I play piano before the service.
Then it is Christmas morning. All the presents awaiting us, and Teddiursa sneaking downstairs before the opening of presents. Naughty naughty girl. Then of course new years eve... the most important day of the year. Why is that? It's my birthday! But today, I'm going to talk about Christmas eve and Christmas morn.
One of my favorite things about Christmas is going to church service. I really like playing piano there, and this year I'm playing "I Wonder as I Wander." And I also really love singing "Silent Night." When the lights all go out, and we wave candles. It's so awesome.And who could forget Christmas dinner? All that food on the table, begging to be eaten. Especially the ham, deviled eggs, and more. And desert... I think I have a pie with my name on it xD
Then there's Christmas morning. And the knowledge that I'll get more of this stuff 6 days later. Some of my favorite gifts are these:The gift of life (given to me 6 days after Christmas, thanks mom!), My Nintendo DS (thanks granny!) my mp3 player (thanks daddy!), I giant bag of summer things for a surprise cruise in April (thanks Nina!) and my yellow puffle (thanks Teddirusa!). And of course my old bike (which is now too small for Teddiursa) and some electric scooters. Thanks for the gift of vehicels! I hope for the Christmas that I'm 15, I'll get a car (I'll be able to drive it on my own 6 days later. Until then, I'll stick with my learner's permit xD)
One vivid memory I have is from our old house. Teddiursa was about 3 or 4, and she got a mini slide. And all she ever wanted to do was go up and down the slide. No opening more presents, oh no. Because slides are all the rage.Speaking of Christmas presents. I have a present for you:






(This is my favorite book in the 2nd series so far... still have 1 to go...)



The second thing we did was to go look at the banzai trees. They looked so cool! People wrapped wire around the branches, causing them to grow funky. Again, very cool! They could also make them grow on rocks! I liked the mini banzais the best, they were very cute! What, a tree can't be cute?
Once that was done, we went to wait in line for the children's area. Mom took me over to look at the rice paper while Pikachu Jr. and Teddiursa sat down and... I don't know what they did exactly. But anyway, the rice paper was beautiful! There was a scene where the sky was purple, and there were golden tree branches everywhere. The birds flying around on the paper were sage, gold and they had some red.
After the rice paper heaven, the children's area was open! It was all crafts, with Japanese music playing (in Japanese!). I made a lanturn that was all blue, and a fish stick. OK, it was a wooden stick with three paper fish on it. But the opportunity was right there!
When we finished that, the five of us went to the food court. I got shrimp tempura over noodles, and Teddiursa got green tea ice cream. We learned alot of things in the food court. We learned that the noodles from Japan are thick, that shrimp tempura is really good, and that a traditional Japanesse snack/lunch is Lay's sour cream and onion chips and diet coke.
After that, we began wandering around looking at stuff. We saw people doing kung fu (or something like that). They showed us how to do it in slow mo, so we could understand what they were doing. They attacked each other with sticks, and with spiky wrist thingys. They also did self defence sitting down.
We then got our names written in Japanese. They look so pretty! Then we headed out. Imagine this taking 3 (glorious) hours. Bye bye!

This is probably the bumpiest ride at six flags over Georgia! I have bumped my head on this about one trillion bilion milion thousand hundred eleven times. OK, not that many times, but you get my idea.
I've been on this one 14 times! I can also explain every little detail. OK, so obviously you wait in line. When you get inside, you and a bunch of people you don't know (or possibly you do know all these people) cram into a room to watch a 5 minute movie. Then-- more lines! There are three elevators to choose from, but there's no difference. Once you get into the elevator, you go up and see blue holograms. They crack and you go up some more (yay!). Then the elevator stops, and goes forward. You see a floating eye, and some other stuff. Then you get to a point where you either go up, or drop. The dropping number is random, but is also so fun! Me and Dad and Teddiursa rode this 11 times in one night!
This is the bob family, where everyone is named bob. I've ridden this thing 4 times in a row without stopping MAN! It is my favorite ride in Disney World! And yes, I laugh maniacally on this ride. What? It's fun!
