Christmas.

The magic of Christmas rubbed off a long time ago.
In fact, it was December 19th, 2006 i believe when Christmas started being just another day to me.
It was the last day of fourth grade for the semester and we were having a party.
My principal came in and told us about how one of our classmates had died.
She was my best friend.
After that, Christmas never seemed the same.
There was no excitement for opening presents or waking up early.
It was simply just another day.
This year is no exception.
There were a couple of things I wanted before going back to school on the 4th.
Last night I brought them all up to my mom.
She laughed at all of them and said no.
There was only one that she said "we'll go back to that one later"
Which in her world means "No, so dont ask me again."
For the most part they were simple things such as dying my hair, taking vitamins, buying a puppy, and getting glasses.
I'm just ready for all of this to go away.
Actually, I say that because im jealous of the 5 year olds who think Santa's trying to sneak around the house when they're sleeping.
Or how staying up til midnight was the toughest thing to do, but you'd do anything to open your presents.
But today, and tomorrow will be just another day for me.
