Today was Christmas Eve, even though it didn't really feel like it too much. I would say mainly because of the weather, it was actually hot today. Like, humid and 70 degrees. But anyways, I woke up really early today at around 5 AM and I started cleaning my room upstairs because I had to sleep up there instead of downstairs because Myra and Addie stayed over with Janell last night. So I got all my clothes picked up off my floor and my room started looking nicer. I ate some leftover sushi from last night and stayed up for awhile. Janell and them ended up leaving at probably 10 AM because they were meeting someone to go get breakfast or something. I think I fell back asleep for an hour or so while watching the Until Dawn Slushy Noobz video. I actually can't remember if I feel asleep or not, but Janell got home again around noon, and then she said she was going to town again, so I went with her this time.
We were going to go look for some stocking stuffers and presents for mom and dad, so we went to Hobby Lobby first and found some stuff. We got my dad these shotgun shell coasters that Janell thought he had to have and this toilet paper holder that was a chicken. I also got Janell a little squishy gummy bear thing she wanted. Then we went to Dollar Tree and picked out a bunch of little stocking stuffers. I think we got them a car freshener, some sparkling drinks, hand wipes, and some other stuff I can't think of. We also went to Five Below and the other Dollar Tree in Cape because Janell wanted to find some Doorables for some reason. So she got some and opened them, and then we went home.
At home I don't think I did too much, but my dad was really cleaning the windows. I picked up some, played some Fallout 4, my mom got home, and then her and Janell started making the charcuterie board that we'd eat later tonight. That's kind of a tradition I guess we do now. A really new tradition, I think last year was the first time we did that, eating a charcuterie board on Christmas Eve. But once my mom got home, it was about time to go to the candlelight service at church at 5 PM, so we got ready and went to that.
It was pretty busy at the church, most of the pews were filled. It was a pretty good service, I was just so tired for some reason. I fell asleep about three times during the sermon. I had to scrape the wax off of my candle to keep myself awake. But we sang some good songs and I love that service. Afterwards, we didn't stick around too long because it was so busy the hallway was starting to back-up.
So we went home and opened our stockings first which had the candy that Janell and I picked out in TJ Maxx that one day, so I got some peach rings. Then we ate the charcuterie board and it was pretty good. There was deer sausage, some good cheese, crackers, pepperoni, salami, and garlic cheese. Then we opened our main presents and it was pretty surprising. I'll list off some of what I got. A shaver, a box of Cuban cigars, a pin, some smart lightbulbs and outlets, Blade Runner 2049 in 4K, a nice new phone case, a car windshield cover, some silicone spatulas, Croc slippers, a 3DS charger, and the final big present was the big Lego DeLorean set. I really didn't know what to think of that, because I knew that was an expensive set, but I really like it. The presents I got from Janell were a pack of Dalmatian playing cards, a Star Wars blind box, a Harry Potter book, cologne, and a Lego Harry Potter greenhouse. So that was awesome and I would say I got some really good presents.
After we got done opening all of those, Janell and I went out and smoked one of the cigars that she got from Miami that was cherry flavored. Cigars really aren't my thing, but it was kind of fun. Then I ended up talking to my dad for a long while when he was looking at his guns, and he kind of ended up giving me one. He was showing me this Stevens Model 94 that belonged to his dad and he asked if I liked it, and I actually really did. So that was really cool, too. Then Janell and I talked to dad some, Janell and I watched a Bob's Burger episode, and I fell asleep at about 12:30.
So that was my Christmas Eve. I would say it was actually really good even though it still didn't feel much like Christmas. 8/10 day.
