Yesterday I went to a family reunion for my mother's side of the family. It was nice actually, seeing all the descendants of my mother's grandmother. The only bad thing is that part of the reunion spilled over to our house, afterwards. I was really tired and it had been a long day. I was trying to be nice, and then felt guilty for not really wanting to be around my relatives. Oh, well...not my fault, I guess. They were distant relatives, anyhow.
I just got back from our Christmas Eve thing at my grandmother's (my father's mother). She does this every year where we all exchange presents and get together on Christmas Eve. I always like going to it. It's funny, tonight me and my cousin were talking about how Christmas isn't the same when you get older. It really isn't. I mean, I guess it could be, but you have to really try at it. I don't get all excited, and it's like tomorrow is just another day. I guess it's exciting in a different way, though, like, I get excited about going to visit my close relatives and eating good food. I'm not sure if that's a good thing.
I promise all of my entries won't be about me and my family gatherings. It's just that until Jan. 4, I won't have too much to say about Mexico. I wanted to start the journal now, though, so that I could give everyone some background info on me and my life and such.
Alright- I'm sleepy and I am going to bed now. I will try to write more tomorrow!
