It all started when we left on Christmas Eve morning; when my parents and I packed up and drove to Dubai for Christmas. We spent it with Aunt Janice, Uncle Bob and Cousin Julia, and I met my cousin's boyfriend, Daniel. Any adjective I can think of to describe him would just sound the same; nice, kind, friendly, etc. Mom thinks he looks like Ryan Gossling. (Actor) I would prefer thinking of him like a cross between Louis Tomlinson from One Diretion and the boyfriend of my favorite singer, Adam Lambert. We went out to dinner and watched Polar Express and Christmas Carol before bed.

Here is a list of what I got for Christmas the following day.
1. A Galaxy Young smart phone
2. A bracelet
3. A handbag with a long chain that doubles as a necklace
4. A copy of Inkheart and Inkspell
5. A copy of The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks
6. A barrette
7. A new black shirt
8. A new bottle of fruity-smelling body wash
9. A pink hand-held plastic fan
None of these things were even on my list, but I am thankful for all of them anyway.

After unwrapping all of our presents, we went to the movies to see Frozen. I loved it! Mom said to me that my cousin's boyfriend said it was the best Disney film ever. I was thinking the exact same thing: Best Film Ever! It was the Best Film Ever!
All in all, it was a low-key Christmas this year, with a lot of trash bags to throw down the chute in the Garbage Room down the hall. Seriously, I had to throw down, like, five bags over three days.
