Tibb’s Eve

I’m assuming most everyone reading this won’t realise that today is Tibb’s Eve- defined as ‘a day or two before Christmas.’ It’s essential the Eve of Christmas Eve.

Since I’ve been home I have done nothing except watch the Scream Channel (or Dusk), play Harvest Moon, wrap the christmas gifts my mom and step-dad have for each other, and bake cookies. I made oatcakes yesterday, and even dipped them in chocolate. Now, of course, my mother has put them away and I can’t. find. them.

Annoyed.

Needless to say this break has been going pretty well. Yesterday was the first day I got out of my pyjama’s since I got here. I mailed a card to my father and played Harvest Moon for a ridiculous amount of time. Then, I registered for Tetris Friends and played that for an unacceptable amount of time. There are only so many falling blocks I can take before I feel silly.

This has been the latest I’ve gotten up since I’ve been home, too. I woke up an hour ago.

Barry (step dad) and I drove into Gander to get stocking stuffers for my mom, because she always buys them for herself since none of us realised that someone had to do that.

My brother and I got mom a silver heart shaped locket with ‘MOM’ engraved on the front, and when we meet  up  Christmas Day he’ll have pictures of the three of us to put in it. I’m pretty sure she’ll bawl her eyes out when she gets it.

Now, I am about to start playing either Tetris or Harvest Moon again, and when my mom gets home she’ll have more gifts for me to wrap. For now, I am watching the Watcher in the Woods, another scary movie dating from 1980. Should be a time. (I’ve only watched one holiday movie this season).

Merry Christmas, everyone.
