Merry Christmas 2010!

Merry Christmas everyone! This year my family and I are going to celebrate Christmas with my grandparents. We always change each year.

I'm excited to see what I will get this year, my brother and I always get many Christmas presents. I've wished for PlayStation Move, and I really hope I will get it. Otherwise I will buy it myself. I always get money because I don't now what to wish for.

This year I've bought all my gifts online. It's good because I don't have to stand in line with all the other stressed Christmas shoppers. I even got them wrap for a small fee.

The weather this year is perfect with a lot of snow, just as I've always wanted! However, it doesn't happen that often that it comes snow for Christmas.

I hope everyone will have a great Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Wishes

Merry Christmas!

Today is Christmas Eve and I'm very excited about that. We finally got snow on Christmas, it doesn't happen very often. My family and I are gonna celebrate with Grandma and Grandpa this year. My other Grandma and Grandpa takes turns every year to host Christmas, some years we're at my moms sister, but we only been there three times.

At three O'clock we traditionally watch cartoons from Disney, it's a Swedish tradition that we've had for 50 years, and apparently we are the only country in the world who does that every year. Even though I've seen it many many times, I still like the cartoons because it's tradition and it reminds me of my childhood, when we used to watched it back then and of course Christmas in general.

We're gonna eat the usual "Christmas table", with meatballs, sausages, fish, eggs, ham with different mustards among other things. We actually eat this about three times a year, first at Easter, then Midsummer and lastly at Christmas. But I like the food anyway, but I don't want to eat more than three "Christmas tables", after that I'm sick of it.

After that we're giving each other the Christmas presents and my Grandpa is reading from the Bible, which he always does. And we also play a "gift game" where you roll a dice and if you get a six you can take a present, when the time is out you get the gifts that you've got. It's gonna be a great Christmas!

Yesterday I finished the last Christmas shopping, it was people everywhere! I'm glad I'm done with it and I've also wrapped in every X-Mas gift that I bought. But it was nice in the city, I really felt the Christmas spirit inside of me.

Merry Christmas!

First snow day [Update!]

The first snow came today, and it's been pretty cold outside, about - 8 degrees. It's unusually that this much snow falls in December. It's been snowing all day, so there's a thick layer of snow on the ground. I love the snow, it always makes me happy, everything is so bright, both in the day and night and the ground is sparkling like diamonds.

Snow also reminds me of my childhood, being outside and playing in the snow, making snow angels, building a snow man, having a snowball fight with my brother, I was so happy. We would also go to a big hill where we sled down with our snow sleds, it was a lot of fun. I would often lay in the snow looking up watching the snow fall, with a smile on my face dreaming away. I always wanted the snow to last because everything would have looked so sad if it melted. I always wrote in my diary when the snow came, I had to write down the happiness I was feeling, like I'm doing now.

I think it should be snow during December and Christmas because it makes the Christmas spirit even better. The snow will be laying there on Christmas and that's unusual, it only happens about every ten years or so. There's something powerful with snow, everyone lights up and becomes happy, especially the children and everyone who has their inner child still inside of them, like I have.

I went for a long walk today in the snow feeling like a child again, throwing snowballs at trees and signs, I was happy. I also fired some Fireworks outside, I always did that when I was younger, so it's kind of a tradition. Don't take the snow away because it's here to stay in every heart and soul today.

It's December soon...! [Update!]

I love the December month, lot of Christmas lights in the city, all the decoration in the stores and the decoration I have at home every year. I get a special warm feeling inside during December, I really feel the Christmas spirit and the atmosphere all around me and inside of me. And you look forward to Christmas eve and all the presents your gonna get, you feel like a child again and that's something positive for me, never forget your inner child! I also like buying presents and give them to someone, I like making other people happy, but never forget your own happiness, to make other people happy you also need to be.

I play alot of video games during December and Christmas, it's tradition I've had since I was a child. I remember playing "Zelda: Ocarina Of Time" on Nintendo 64 and when I got the first PlayStation on Christmas, it was a magical and happy time and something I will always remember. And because of that I still and always will continue playing video games and watch movie during the December month, and all the year around of course, because it makes me happy!

Other things that's happening is the new Linkin Park Underground package that includes the LPU 9.0 CD, that I think is gonna be one of the best. The new site launches December 3rd and I will renew my membership, I'll have to see how long the package will take to arrive or I'll listen to the CD beforehand because I can hardly wait for it!

I will publish a few more video game reviews, one is "Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", but currently I'm playing a really cool game: "Batman: Arkham Asylum", I'll see if I'm gonna write a review for it. The good thing about waiting to buy a video games is that they will lower the price if you wait long enough. I also think I'm gonna write a review for the LPU 9.0 CD and one for the "Avatar" movie.
