The Christmas Spirit
Technically speaking, Christmas is over, but everyone's STILL in some "Christmassy" mood. People love Christmas. There's no denying that. When I was little, I HATED the fact that my birthday falls on Christmas Day. I could NEVER celebrate my birthday on that same day, because I was born on the same day as you-know-who-come-on! I was merely an assistant to the superstar. But now, I'm in college, and living far away from my family. Now that I get to spend ONLY Christmas vacay with them, I'm treasuring every single second with all my heart!
 Last night, I celebrated my 18th birthday. There was no fancy shmancy debut or whatever. I found that "tradition" way too corny for words. I always have. So I asked my parents to give me a simple celebration instead. Like a small dinner. The only restaurant I could think of was Chili's and so there, we invited the people we were closest to in the world. Dinner was so much fun! We stuffed ourselves silly with fries, chicken, pasta, celery, and different kinds of dip. We took pictures, and told stories. We watched my sister and her boyfriend canoodle, and make "lambing" at their side of the table. We laughed our guts out! Oh Lordy! THAT we did! I'd laugh because Debbie was laughing, and she'd laugh because of my laugh. So we'd all just laugh away, and keep on laughing... Everyone was happy. And even more so, me. This was what I always imagined my birthday celebration to be. None of those parties with cake and baloons. I liked it simple. It was better that way. 
The waiters sang Happy Birthday for me.It was sooo weird! The last time I experienced that, I was still a kid with no boobs! So I was sooo blushing! It was kinda sappy... but in the weirdest way, it made me feel good. Special.
After dinner, we went roaming around in Seef Mall. Mango had this sale, and it was so much fun rummaging through the racks and looking at clothes I knew I couldn't wear anytime soon. Mom had bought me and my sister two MNG bags earlier, and the night couldn't have been more complete.
Okay, my hands are freezing up now... I'm starving and I'm a bit lazy to type some more. Belated Merry Christmas! =)
