It's beginning to look a lot like CHRISTmas
I would like to apologize for not blogging the past few days. Exams are tomorrow and i have been too busy with my homework to blog.
This weekend i decorated my grandmother's CHRISTmas tree. My family has a tradition of passing out ornaments to signify something that happened during the year. my grandmother has about 50 ornaments that have stories behind them and she must explain every single one in detail before she hands them to me to put on the tree. It is funny at first because the actual ornament has nothing to do with the story behind it. One of the ornaments is a mouse with a yellow flower around it, my grandmother gave it to my aunt because she was a golden girl at lsu. after awhile the story telling gets very boring and repetitive because this is my 15th year to do this and i can tell you what every ornament means. I don't want to ruin her fun but she turns something that should last an hour into a four hour ordeal. luckily this year she was busy helping my mom cook and we finished with only about 20 stories told.
