A wii Second Christmas

Yesterday was Christmas, and if I were still in Europe (and I really want to go back there) today would be second Christmas. I, personally, am a giant fan of the whole two days of Christmas thing. See, when you have two days to do everything, you can really get down to the good ol' meaning of Christmas., which everyone knows is about eating lots and lounging around with your family. Now, that isn't really the case, but that is of course what always happens. This year, my Christmas was pretty awesome, although it was frustrating at times. See, it all started when I, and most of my family, woke up earlier than we really wanted to. We began our traditional Christmas day, but could only progress so far because my brother had to go in to work. Well, we managed to pass time until he made it back from work, but then my uncle's family (on my mother's side) came over to visit, which once again paused the normal festivities that are opening presents. This was followed by the departure of my father as he quested off to pick up his mother, so that she wasn't alone now that my uncle's family (on my father's side) had left her. While he was away my aunt came over with my two cousins (again on my mother's side). They were visiting with my mother's parents, who live in the basement, when my father returned. Fortunately, for the sake of all of us (we were getting slightly annoyed at the delays that kept piling on "Christmas") they came upstairs and we finally had everyone. By this time it was around six pm, but we finally commenced with opening up the presents that were piled under the tree. It was a great experience to be with the family and open up gifts. When all was said and done, we continued talking with one another and enjoyed some more of the delicious food. We then proceeded to set up the wii that my aunt so graciously gave the family, and played together as a family. Now, this may not have been the most conventional Christmas I've had, but I certainly loved it. I feel that leaving the presents and what have you until the end of the day made for a more enjoyable day. What would have been a long and rather unproductive day became one of spending quality time with the family and enjoying the company of one another. Now, I plan on returning to the abode of my parents and spending more time with them on this unofficial day of Second Christmas.
