Calm

Sorry about the randomness of the posts. I have no excuse but that it's the holidays. By the way I love the holidays and all the things that go with it. We had a little bit of what I call Texas Snow, its the leaves from the Bald Cyprus trees in our backyard that come down in sheets and stick to our dogs.I made a "snowman" out of the leaves.Our lovely tall Christmas tree that makes the house smell like pine, mmmmm.
The tranquility of it all is the best part, everyone is in a good mood and all of your relatives are laughing and joking around you. This year's Christmas was really calm, the cleaning came and went with ease and so did the cooking. A few people were late and that gave us more time to cook. We went through the motions of eating and opening pretty boxes and bags wrapped with care. That went slower too, usually the presents whizz on past but this year we took the time to look at everyones presents. We ate a little more, then played pictionary (probably my favorite) and watched a movie. People left after Pictionary and it became quiet again. I like it better when it's peaceful. I don't know what changed to make it this way but I like it. It's still calm around here, although we should be bouncing off the walls with all the sugary foods lying around. Things we are doing over break:

• Homework
• Wii fit (soo fun)
• Getting ready for our new Nosy Be Panther Chameleon, Sully
• Watching movies, for some reason all the movies come out on Christmas
  Day such as Sherlock Holmes(Awesome) and Avatar (came out earlier but so awesome its ridiculous) and It's Complicated (haven't seen it yet)
• Watching Ally Mcbeal, a lawyer show from a while ago with Calista Flockhart
• Cleaning
• Sleeping

Our family is enjoying it and I hope yours is too.
Love your adoring fan,

My Christmas List

I am eternally greatful for all I have. This year I don't see the need in more material things, of course there is a tad bit of want, but no severe yearning for anything. I love being content.
Anyway I do enjoy making lists, especially Christmas lists. So here it goes.

Dear Santa,
Here is what i fancy to have this next year:

• A good in depth conversation about something important.
• A change of perspective.
• A new friend.
• A really enormous fantastic hug, one that makes you forget what you were crinkling your nose about earlier.
• A really good cry, that no one will ask about the next day when my eyes are puffy like a bull dog.
• A memory of Makenzie I completely forgot about.
• To dance a dance to my hearts content and do it well.
• For my injuries to heal, some of the emotional and all of the physical.
• An intense game of chess.
• To wake up on the correct side of the bed for once.
• A good long cuddle/snuggle.

To go on the material side of things, these are the things i crave:

• A pair of gloves
• Every word Brian Andreas has ever written

Your adoring fan,
Madimoo

I'm sorry I haven't blogged my friends. I feel like a bad blog mama, but i'm up to my nose in.. just.. stuff. Mainly Nutcracker, by the way you should there is still a weekend left of it, and it's really going awesome. Speaking of Nutcracker, it kept me from school on thursday and friday so i've been playing ketchup in every class. I know excuses should never be made, but those are my reasons or reason. Have fun with the lovely season, it may not be beautiful all the time outside but the company is sure nice.
Love your adoring fan,
Madimoo
P.S. there will be a volcano of pictures soon and christmas music is very good for putting you in good cheer.
