You've got to be kidding me...

Is it really only a month til Christmas? Really? This one is going to be like Christmas lite around here. There is no way we can do the things we have been doing in the years past. I have a feeling we will all be ok despite that. I mean, the holidays isn't really about presents right? As long as we are all together having a good time sitting in the living room around a nice fire listening to Christmas music and talking it should be a great one!! Right?!?! Try telling that to my spoiled ass kid... Bubbles will be fine. She is the most polite kid I have ever seen. Alex won't care because she's at the age where tearing the ornaments off the tree and running around the house screaming "we will rock you" will make her day.


BUT 'Hala on the other hand will be on the BOOK OF FACE that afternoon talking to her friends about how cheap "santa" was this year (on the laptop we bought her) and

why her family can't afford to buy her food even... (while she will probably be eating turkey, ham and other assorted goodies that must have just fallen out of the sky) and drinking some of the 6 gallons of milk we buy every week or so to FEED HER &%&$&.... Then she will text her friends that she can't reach on facebook on that wonderful necessity that is her cell phone (her 3rd phone by the way... she wears them out texting). Then I am sure she will settle down and play some games on either her PS2, or Wii or maybe even her DS. She might even go outside if it's nice and use some of the tons of softball or volleyball equipment that just appeared in the garage (because we couldn't afford that, after all)... All the while complaining that she has nothing and everyone else has everything... It's fun raising a teenager...

happy holidays
