Well, not really.
Christmas was technically yesterday, but it’s still the holiday season,
right?
Anyways.
As a sort of winter break trip, we’re spending the 27
th
through the 30
th in
Colonial Williamsburg, VA. While we’re there, we’ll see the historic
area all done up for Christmas, with its traditional wreaths and candles and
various bonfires. It’s really pretty
this time of year, and they have a giant Christmas tree out in front of the old
historic court house. It’s even prettier
with snow on the ground… Maybe it’ll snow… (;
So I’ll try and put a tonne of pictures here, as some of the
sights you see in the historic part are simply gorgeous. It’s really easy to get swept away in the
atmosphere, and you feel like you’re back in the 16-17th
century.
However, we’re not there yet.
I’m writing to you from my trusty laptop, as we’re in the
car driving to Williamsburg. Earlier today, we went to visit my mom’s
parents—we were keeping the party alive.
We basically had a second Christmas, with an awesome dinner like we had
on the 25th, and we exchanged presents. It was, as my grandmother loves to say, “a
rather good haul”. (;
Some highlights were a gorgeous charm bracelet/watch from my
uncle and his girlfriend, a beautiful pair of stud earrings that once belonged
to my great grandmother (my Pop-pop’s mother), courtesy of my Nana. I also got some awesome smelling things from
Bath and Body
Works, combined with some sweet/sour candy (the BEST KIND OF CANDY out there,
btw (; ) and some cool nail art pens.
There are probably some things I left out, due to my Dory memory
(ish). But it was all wonderful. It was good to see everyone, especially my
grandfather (he’s doing alright… though he’s going to get another heart thing
done on January 9th… more issues concerning afib things… I’ll update
more on that when I can) and it was a great night.
I kinda wish I could see J, though… We’ll only be apart for
four days, but I swear it feels like forever already. I know that there are people who probably
haven’t seen their loved one for more than four days, so I guess I can’t really
complain. But I still miss him…
I hope you all are having an awesome holiday as always,
wherever you may be (:
