Wrapping up the holidays!

So, I guess you guys want to hear about my holidays, or just want me to write something so you know I'm alive!

First of all, I promise that I am going to get to catch up on everyone else's blogs soon!!! Promise, promise, promise!!

So, me and my holidays...
Well, let's start with Christmas Eve...
I went to Grace's house to participate in her family's massive (they're Italian) Christmas Eve celebration. Topher came too, so that was fun. The food was good. Grace's family is crazy in that way that Italian families often are. :-P

Then I went home to my own family's Christmas Eve dinner. From there, we went to church. Came back, did the traditional stockings and reading of The Night Before Christmas. You know, Christmas.

The next day was pretty quiet, my aunt and uncle flew in on Christmas so we were waiting until the next day to do our real Christmas. We did open a few gifts -- I got a bunch of books I wanted (cause I have so much time to read? I don't know why I keep asking for these things :P) and the Timbaland CD, as well as two Forbidden Broadway CDs. I also got a DVD of behind the scenes Broadway stuff (of course, Matt got two DVDs of movies I had actually asked for, but who's counting? :P No, my stuff was pretty awesome.)
We dropped in on Dad's side of the family for their Christmas -- and Brady was ADORABLE. Ashley, his mother, had a bunch of us shaking his gifts trying to guess what they were. It was pretty bad. :-P And he was having more fun drumming on his presents than unwrapping them, I think. Cutest baby ever. We gave him this stuffed lamb with all sorts of different colors. It reminded me of one of my favorite stuffed animals when I was little -- his name was George and he was a baby blue lamb with a pink and yellow plaid pattern over it. Frikkin' awesomest lamb you ever saw, and so badass too.

The next day we did Christmas fo' rizzle. I got a bunch of stuff, but honestly I was focused more on the best gift that my Aunt and Uncle got me: Darren Hayes' latest CD!!! Yeah, you know, the one I was all excited about this summer???? Aunt Susan and Uncle Robert got it for me!!!
It's been playing non-stop in my car since then.

Sooooo, then there was a whole lot of clubbing at Mirabar and Dark Lady.

And then it was New Year's!!! I worked at the Dark Lady -- it was an ice themed party. All I have to say about that is this:
I looked fucking hot.
