Christmas was great this year.
We all woke up at 8:30a.m.(later than usual on Christmas) and my boyfriend, mom, dad, and brother and I first went through the candy in our stockings. I purchased and filled a stocking for my guy on Christmas Eve and he didn't know it. ^_^ Then, we gave our animals all of their presents before doing ours.
