I haven't written for quite a while now and now I feel like I have enough to write about. ^^
Sooo, chrismas has come and gone.
Grandmother (on dad's side) couldn't come so it was a bit empty.
But grandma, grandpa and greatgrandma did come so I should be happy.
Greatgrandma is 90 something so I'm happy she had the energy to come during christmas.
Let's see, I got...
A game, 'Neverwinter Nights 2', and two books from Mum and Dad; 'Holy Blood, Holy Grail' and 'The Historian'.
Clothes and a lot of money from Grandma and Grandpa.
(I bought a digital camera for some of the money and are going to buy Kingdom Hearts 2 for the rest.)
A silver pen from two friends and four scented candles from another.
From Daddy in Canada I got a book; 'The four agreements' (I swear, he's gotten religeous), a berry scented handlotion (Smells so good I could eat it), the same scented bath... cream(?) and a very glittery nail polish.
From Grandma in New Zeeland I got a bracelet and a couple of pearl stickers. So pretty! ^^
Ok, lets clear up any confusion that might have surfaced.
I have 2 'dads', one is my 'real' dad and currently live in Canada. I rarely get to see him and we write mail to eachother every now and then but I don't really feel like I know him.
My other dad is my 'new' dad. I've had him as a father since I was 5 and to be honest he feels much more like my real dad.
In Sweden we have different words for grandmother and grandmother.
For Grandmother on mums side it's "Mormor" and on dads side it's "Farmor"
'Mor' means mother so... 'Mother's mother' it could be translated as and 'Far' means father. Therefor it would become 'Father's mother'.
It easily gets confusing in english for me when those words are used because i have no idea if it's on thir mother's or father's side they mean.
It's the samething with Grandfather and Grandfather.
'Morfar' = 'Mother's father'
'Farfar' = 'Father's father'
My 'real' grandma lives in New Zealand.
I think that I should stop this now, I'll only confuse it even more...
Anyway, we celebrated with a biiiig dinner and then at 15:00 (3:00 p.m) there is a pogram sent every christmas with Donald Duck. It will never get boring.. ^^;
After that we opened the pressies!! ^^
Yay!
Yesterday it was New Year's eve and we celebrated like always.
A nice family dinner, watching TV and waiting for the new year to be rung in by the bells.
They send a special little scetch on TV every new year; "Grevinnan och betjänten". It's so funny even though it was recorded quite long ago.
"The same procedure as every year, James."

When it was exactly 00:00 we went outside to look at all the fireworks.
They were beautiful and there was a LOT of them.
We agreed on only seeing so many when the new millenium came.
'Twas beautiful.
The day before christmas my little sister got hurt. Of course, when else?
She was sitting on the wooden couch's armrest and it broke, leaving her with a 5-6 centimeter long gash agross her thigh. It wasn't very deep but still...
That was all I think.
