Merry Christmas!!!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!

Last night I went to church for the first time since last Christmas… it’s the only time I go anymore because it’s not a real serivce but something the kids do…. One of the kids said to my mom, “Wow Mrs. Lemmon, your son sure has changed” LMAO I found that very pleasant. From red to black hair…. dressed all in black…. nice….
After that we went to my Aunt Lucy and Uncle Larry’s place for the Christmas Eve party. I got to see a lot of my relatives…. overall it was really great… got to eat plenty of Chinese food and sweets(my family likes to eat when we get together…. never is there a Lemmon family gathering without food… even the family businesses of maple syrup and blue berries are all about food :P).
I had a couple beers there because Lucy offered them to me…. my mother freaked out because she had never seen me drink before…. it was really embarassing…. And my mother is generally embarassing even at the best of times…. this was pretty much as bad as I’ve received…. It was all easy to laugh off, especially with my cousin Marsha telling us on the phone how her dad had handed her the very first drink she had on the day she turned 19…. lol as bad as she and her brother were when they were our age it really surprised me the first time she told me that.
Well, after that we came home and went to bed.
I woke up at 8 and opened my stockings with Ilea… Got the usual things…. razors, shaing cream, deororant…. on and on… and a Wizard magazine. 🙂 I get it once a year to catch up on all that I missed in the world of comics…
Then at 9 we woke up our parents and we all opened gifts…. here is a list of the few I can remember right now:

Big Wreck – The Pleasure and the Greed CD (nice album!)
Tom Cochrane & Red Rider – The Symphony Sessions CD (sounds excellent! I’m listening to it now…. )
Wireless Headphones (I sooo needed these!)
A Death shirt (from DC comics and Sandman it looks great… my favorite comic character)
A magnet sculptor (I always loved those when I was a kid)
LotR Movie Guide
Tolkien Beastiary
Black sheets and other bed stuff
Black gloves
Black socks
Black scarf
CD case
Writable CD’s
Chocolate!
Tolkien Calendar(has an art style that reminds me of the 70’s and 80’s ones)
$m$o$n$e$y$

That’s all….. Tonight I have to eat Christmas dinner with my family and then I hope to be able to talk to Ashley… I miss her soooooo much!

Merry Christmas!
