a copy of part of an e-mail 2 my friend and is sort of summary of my Christmas break so far.

my family went to a holiday party but I had the choice to instead of be bored stay home, which I did. It turned out to be a good thing. I started not feeling good to my stomach, so I didn’t eat dinner. Later I was on the couch with the tv on taking a nap when I woke up and couldn’t stop myself – I tossed my cookies right on the carpet. A lot. It was not a pretty sight. I had my parents come home from the party thing, then went to bed. Well not really. I threw up some more first. Then the next day I was just feeling ick. The thought of food sickened me. At dinner I left to bed early because the smell was going to make me through up again if I stayed; I just could not take food. the next day. I got better, which was good. I was all good by the twenty fourth. hey, what did you get for Christmas? This year I got a fuzzy robe and slippers and some giftcards to book store and music gift card, a teen devotion book which i started reading and is cool, and some stuff we opened more for as family, a boardgame and a movie. but what I could not believe almost was one thing that my parents got me, earrings. Not just five buck earrings, not even the twenty dollar kind. They got me ruby (real ones) studs, with an attach ment that hangs a pearl, and put together with gold! eek! they said i have to be really careful with it and only wear them for special stuff etc. That part makes me a little nervious. The pearls were ones that I had gotten from Hawaii at one of the stations to open a clam, and inside I got two identical by luck, but didn’t have enough money to put them with something. wow! of course when I went to see my stocking this morning (we open all gifts on Christmas Eve) there was nothing, nada! it isn’t the first time, when my parents didn’t put it in in time. It is no wonder my beleife in Santa was shortlived if ever.then my mom came by, took the stockings into the office, and came out with stuff in them. sad. inside was nothing worth waiting for though so it didn’t matter anyways, just candy. we played new game stuff, watched two new movies and just hung out today. and had a tradition i’m not too fond of, had lasagnia made at home for dinner. i don’t even like it but my dad does so oh well. how was your Christmas? MERRY CHRISTMAS.
