"Not All Who Wander, Are Lost...."

Christmas, has come and gone in the blink of an eye. I can't believe it's almost New Years! I think one of my New Years resolutions is to read 150 books in the year. I'll post what I'm reading at the bottom of each post from now on to kind of remind myself of my resolution=) I hope everyone had a good Christmas mine went well I got some really nice things. The best part by far though was just having my whole family together. (well minus a few people I have adopted in lol).  I went to my sister grace's house on Christmas Eve we just started last year rotating who's house it will be at. so last year it was at my brother's house, and next year it will be at my sister Dorothy's house. Christmas day My grandma, and uncle Jeff came over we played Christmas trivia (yearly tradition) guys vs girls. guys won last year, girls won this year! I love that game. I'm not sure if you've ever played but, some of the questions are ridiculous, and tricky like for instance.....

The question: What is santa's favorite Christmas song?
The answer: "he likes all of them" 
We guessed "Santa clause is coming to town" we ended up getting that question wrong:(

The question: 82 members of what crew were released during Christmas 1968?
The answer: "USS Pueblo"
We guessed: USS Pueblo! my uncle got this question right.

Question: Symbolically , what do the red berries of holly represent?
Answer: "drops of blood"
we didn't have this question but, I thought it was interesting. I didn't know that's what the berries represented.

Yesterday, I was at my moms family's Christmas party. I always enjoy being with all my cousins, that was fun. I was really happy to see my grandpa too he had a heart attack last week but, is looking good going to therapy now but, can't do anything for a month. I know that's going to be extremely hard on him he's a farmer so some of the grand kids are going down to help him out. I think I probably will go down too and help him around the house. The reason I use the term "go down" is because my grandpa lives about 2 hours from my house.

today has just been a lazy day I was up at 9, and now it's 12 and I haven't accomplished anything besides writing this. I hate days like this, I feel like I'm wasting time. I was supposed to take my grandma to the dr. and out to eat but, because of the snow she called and cancelled. I was also supposed to have dance but, they changed the time from 130 to 3:30 and I work at 4 so that won't work. I think I'm going to go and buy my violin strings today though. my "A" string broke last practice so I need to get it replaced before Saturday.
Right now I'm going to go clean my room, and put everything I got for Christmas away.
