So this is Christmas?

This year's Christmas started off the same as any other Christmas. My younger brother and I woke up around 8, persuaded our mom to go wake our older brothers (it's taking your life into your hands when you try to wake them up before noon) and then opened stockings. After stockings came a quick breakfast before tree presents. We spent the rest of the morning watching P.lanet Earth, before having Christmas lunch. Usually we have our big meal for supper, but this year I was going to be working. My mom decided she liked having it at lunch and we might do it every year. I just have to say I loooove me some turkey and mashed potatoes!

Work was about how I expected. Something happened that was beyond our control, and of course people had a lot to say about it. One man told me that I ruined his family's Christmas. People can be real assholes. Not once do they think that we're away from our families, working on Christmas. Or maybe they just don't care. It's sad when you see the worst side of people on a day that is supposed to be full of joy and caring. Not everybody was horrible. One man even thanked me and helped to restore my faith in humanity. But overall, people were pretty nasty.

Merry Christmas indeed.
