sleepy christmas

By default I was the first one awake this Christmas morning, when I arrived at my parents' house. With everyone still asleep, I could take a moment to eat something before all of the excitement began. I was still a little pumped up from the drive there and the excitement of getting out of work before any problems happened.

Once everyone else was awake, my three year old niece became the center of attention as Blue's Clues and Teletubbie toys spread across the livingroom floor.

I guess for me this had to be the most sleep deprived Christmas that I can remember. After a three hour nap, I had to shuffle downstairs for the Christmas meal only to go back to sleep after I was done. Work still needed me and kept me from being completely relaxed. I wasn't the only one in my family with this situation though. My brother also had to work and we left that night at the same time.
