another awkward christmas

seems like every year christmas has become at least here where i live kind of boring, the same activities, the same concerts, the same everything.

i guess this blog entry is more like a kind of complaint than anything , so let me start by saying no one in the house likes crappy christmas music except my father, hes keen on letting everyone know that when this time of year arrives; he will always put the same crappy music and when any member of the family tries to play something remotely different he shuns the person and demands his music to be played at all times which at the end becomes boring and repetitive.

what else i dont know how to say this another way so here it goes, its traditional to do the novena at least thats how its said here that follows the journey of jesus from before he was born to the day he was born, my mother is very religious so its a obligation for her to do this the only relatively boring aspect of it is the christmas carols that are called villancicos here which are always the same and never change except if you look for something different or write it.

this christmas was spent watching movies, listening to music and that was it, the neigborhood where i live was deserted everyone was locked up in their houses spending the holiday eating christmas dinner and opening presents; me and my sister were bored almost all of the night so as i said before we watched some movies to get out of our boredom.

hope new years is different, ill make a best of 2008 list before the year ends too, ill have to think well what i put in it and try not to repeat bands or movies.
