i hope you all had a lovely christmas! mine was nontraditional (compared to what my family usually does). we went to the city to see a christmas carol preformed on stage in a beautiful theater. i brought my binoculars to see the actors faces close up ;) i had fun getting all pretty to go out. after watching the play, we stopped at union square to see the city's big christmas tree. i took a photo of my papi & sister in front of it (you can see tiffany & co. in the background : ))
this is part of my christmas gift! this year i only asked for things that i would need for my trip to europe. so my sister bought me the hunger games to read on the 14 hour plane ride (ahhh...i am so going to go crazy) & french phrases for dummies & my parents bought me some really nice enzo angiolini leather boots & an umbrella. i can't believe i'll be leaving in ten days!
nicola sent me a christmas gift too! it's so lovely & i'm going to hang it up in my apartment : )
since we went to surprise wendy & her family, we got to see snow on christmas! that never happens. i got to have a white christmas : )
i don't know about you, but i am so stoked to see this movie!! i just have to finish the book before i see the movie though...i'm about halfway through. i got all emotional when i saw the trailer in the theater.

Merry Christmas belatedly! It seems like you had a fun time with family, which is always wonderful. The tree is gorgeous and your present from Nicola is awesome. She gives the best gifts. :)
ReplyDeleteAs for The Hunger Games, you probably will die. I first read it when it came out of 2009 and immediately told my friends to read it. I never really thought it'd become such a best-seller though it is freakin' compelling and everything a good book should be. Sorry, I could ramble on about it more, haha.
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Cloe was one of the favorite books I read this year. I was so consumed in the story and moved by the prose.
Now off to play my turn in our WordsWithFriends game! :)
14 hours on a plane?
ReplyDeleteIt takes 13 hours from korea to the states I watched the whole 1st season of V on the way to Korea and watched 5 movies coming back to the states!
You must be so excited about your trip!
Hey, nontraditional can be good! It sounds like you had a really great Christmas to me. :D The Hello Kitty paper is so cute, hehe. I still need to read the Hunger Games but of course that probably will not happen because I am still procrastinating my AP English reading... sigh. Have fun with the 14 hour plane ride though... oh gosh. When I went to Australia it was kind of torturous. And yes, I absolutely adore Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close so I am anxious to see how the movie comes out.
