Merry Christmas Eve!

Hello hello hello! Merry Christmas Eve to all my readers! Today is a special day to spend time with family, anxious for Santa Claus to come on his sleigh, and deliver presents. Nobody is going to get a good night's sleep tonight.


On Saturday, I slept in on my first day of break. That felt soooo good. I then spent the day hanging out in my room or with my siblings. I also had a sleepover at my cousins' house, which is down the street and around the corner. I'm so glad that we live close and can have sleepovers a lot. The last time we had one was after Thanksgiving last month.
We were supposed to get our cat, Belle, on Saturday, but the humane society never called. We found out that she gets crystals in her urine, so my parents were on the rocks again on adopting her. I of course got really sad, because I wanted to give her a home. Just because she has a condition like that doesn't mean she doesn't deserve a loving home. So my parents told me to research about her condition. I found out that she probably has a urinary tract disease, and that she will need a special diet. I am okay with that, I can make sure she has clean water, enough food and lots of love. Her vet might call today so hopefully we can talk to her vet about her condition and what kind of treatment she will need. She is so beautiful and I can't wait to give her a loving home.

On Sunday, I came home from the sleepover at around 11:30. We were all sleepy afterwards. That evening our church held a candlelight service at 6:00. At the end we all got to hold candles and sing a song. I was kinda scared of the candles though, because I didn't want anything to catch on fire! My dad and brother both got hot wax on their hands too. Sounds painful.

And of course, today is Christmas Eve! I am so excited to spend the evening with my mom's side of the family. We will exchange gifts, eat delicious food and get to talk and enjoy each other's company. I really hope that it gets me in the mood for Christmas, because with no snow and not lots of holiday cheer, this Christmas season really has been kind of bland. I saw a post on Tumblr that said something like this:

"Why doesn't it feel like Christmas? Nothing is cheery, and I don't feel happy or excited for anything."

Another person added: "That's because you're growing up."

That just really got me thinking and kind of sad, because I am growing up. I really and honestly hope that after tonight I get really excited, because right now, I'm just sitting in my bed, and it feels like just another winter day. In fact it just feels like a fall day because there's no snow.


I hope that you all have a wonderful, lovely holiday season, and I will update after the season is over. ♥
