We're halfway through our second viewing of A Christmas Story and my parents are asleep on the couch. They asked to let them nap for thirty minutes and now, two hours later, refuse to wake up. Zak went to bed around eight, which is odd, but I'm not complaining. Meanwhile, it's making Emmy very restless that my parents haven't started wrapping yet. She keeps messing with the fireplace bellows, despite the fact that my mom wakes up each time and threatens to burn all of Emmy's gifts.
By some brilliant stroke of luck, not only did I not have work today, but I don't work the two days after Christmas either, so I drove home last night after my shift and don't have to leave until Tuesday! (Of course, they have me scheduled to work thirty-four hours in the four days remaining in this week, but I'm going to be rich, so it's okay.)
It's nice to be home. I missed my family and Schnookums (a.k.a. the best, cutest dog ever in the world) who is curled up next to me as I type this.
Since I've been gone, my parents have taken out the wall between the living room and Emmy's room and added a fireplace, so Emmy is in what was my room. It doesn't bother me that I don't have a room at home anymore, but I do really miss my bed. Alas, I shall have to wait until I get an apartment to be reunited with it.
In other Christmas-related news, the Blogger Family did a Secret Santa gift exchange, and I got mine from the lovely Lizzie on Wednesday.
I was bouncing around as I read the letter and looked through everything. She not only gave me a magnet of my favorite picture of Joey Richter (complete with speech bubbles), but a collage of James McAvoy, a bracelet, and a great mix CD.
Have I mentioned lately how much I love the Blogger Family? I really, really love the Blogger Family.
In true Maggie fashion, I sent out my package way later than I was supposed to. A combination of my general procrastination and starting a new job set me back, but it is chock-full of stuff, so hopefully my person will come to forgive me in time.
Well, I must go to bed now because SANTA is coming soon, so Merry Christmas to everyone! And Happy Hanukkah! And other holidays!

Merry Christmas to you Maggie! Have a 'fudging' (except I didn't mean fudge/OMG A HIMYM REFERENCE) wonderful holiday.
Merry Christmas maggie! Have a wonderful day!
Love you lots. <3
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Or, as my friend said as she sent me a photo of Darren Criss, merry Crissmas. :)
Merry Christmas, Maggie! I am really happy you enjoyed your package; it was so much fun making it. Especially the magnet. Heh heh heh. <3
I love that your name is Maggie, too. I wish I'd gotten on the bandwagon earlier and gotten involved in some sort of blogger secret santa! That is one heck of a cool gift. Gosh. And I didn't see A Christmas Story ONCE this Christmas! Isn't that terrible!?!? Nor did I see Elf. I think over the remainder of my break I might just need to bring Christmas back for a day and watch them... :)
