Subject: A Very Merry Christmas!

Well, I had a very merry Christmas this year if I do say so myself. :) I am my dad's only child and he goes way overboard when it comes to buying things for me for my birthday & Christmas. He's an awesome dad...always has been. But, I tell him all the time he spends too much on me. But, he says he'd rather spend my inheritance on me now instead of after he's gone. haha But, he has really outdone himself this time. My first surprise was that since we decided not to go to the BAMA football bowl game in Dallas (because we thought it would be cold on New Year's - Murphy's Law b/c it's gonna be in the 70s - 80s...grrr I am NOT happy about that), he told me we will be going to Daytona for the biggest NASCAR race there is...the Daytona 500 in February!! The deal was if I bought the tickets to the race, then he'd pay for the rest of the trip. Of course I bought the tickets immediately! lol So I'll be going to Daytona in February (and Orlando as well - we'll be staying in Orlando the entire time we're there). :) I cannot wait!!!!!

My other surprise was a brand new satellite radio with XM service & a DVD player for my car. My DVD player in my car died a few months ago, so I was very happy to see a DVD player! I've wanted satellite radio for a while, but it isn't something I would have bought for myself most likely...at least not for quite a while. My dad is very technological advanced, so he's always getting me electronic things that I'd probably never buy for myself. haha But, I am really loving the satellite radio. I will still have to listen to regular radio, too, though. Gotta listen to my favorite morning show!

I think the best thing about Christmas for me, though, is spending time with family & friends. There are 40+ of us just on my mom's side of the family, so that is ALWAYS fun. I love getting together with them. And I love "giving" gifts when I actually buy gifts instead of gift cards. haha I did a very good job of buying actual gifts this year and I was so proud. I love to see the looks on their faces when they get something that they really wanted.

Anyway, I just wanted to post about my Christmas. I am just SO EXCITED to be going to Daytona & Orlando!! I haven't been to Orlando in quite some time...3 years ago, maybe? It can't come soon enough! :) Well, I hope all of you here had as great a Christmas as I did and I hope you have an even better New Year!
