Really? I didn't notice XD

Hey everyone, seems like Christmas is here. Just a little update on things while I'm here. Firstly, vacations have been pretty good, had an awesome time with friends for a good week or so. We didn't really go out to do outrageous things or whatnots, but it was nice to kick back and just enjoy unplanned 'do what you want' time. XD

I've since gone to my parents' place, which they had no idea of my coming. They were out for the evening, so I unlocked the door, snuck in, and just watched TV while waiting for them to get home, I swear my mother nearly had a heart-attack seeing me there XD

Now, my parents are moving in a few days, so Christmas this year has been rather weird in terms of tradition. Half of the house is already boxed up and either waiting to be sent, or already brought over there. My last two days (Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day) have been spent renovating their new home; electrical fixtures, taping, painting, taking doors down, sandblasting the walls prior to painting, etc. The only Christmassy thing that happened was a small, 2-3 hour dinner at my sister's in-laws. XD No tree, no feast, nothing on my end.

All in all though, it's been a good time. I was expecting Christmas to not feel like Christmas this year. Funnily enough, I'm not bothered by this, I understand why things are not as they usually are, and I did enjoy working on the new house. My arms are killing me now though, so I'm gonna relax for the evening. XP

Can't wait til the 28th, so I can go back home to a special pika I've been missing for over a week <3

Hope everyone had an amazing time! Merry Christmas or any other traditions you celebrate in this time of year. <3

Skyler out.
