YO HO HO!!!

So, I have this theory: Santa really is a pirate.
All this time he's been saying, "Yo Ho Ho! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good fight!" And it isn't a sleigh, it's a large sailboat. I think the reindeer are real though. Maybe it's a pirate that likes reindeer. I'm hoping that the scientific community will make this theory into a law, so that every child has to put out biscuits and rum instead of cookies and milk.
Christmas went so well! Not that it usually doesn't, but this year it seemed extra fun.
I woke up at 7:00, said a prayer, and looked for my stocking. My parents had hid it. I got a bonus when I found it though: I found the Nerf guns I had been unable to find!
I woke mom and dad up at 7:30, for which they were grateful. Then we opened family presents around 8:30. My haul was considerably smaller this year. Perhaps a failure in the shipping department? JK! I got most of what I wanted and then some. I got candy (which I ate part of before breakfast), lots of money, gift cards, a music CD by Hawk Nelson, a book of semi-useless facts (did you know that at -90 degrees Fahrenheit, your breath will freeze in midair and fall to the ground, or that Saddam Hussein's favorite American snacks are Raisin Bran and Doritos?), a MP3 player, two movies, and my favorite: an Airsoft rifle! Now I just have to avoid shooting my eye out.
After brunch, which consisted of eggs, bacon, strawberries, and sticky buns w/nuts, we went to my cousin's house to exchange presents with them (their presents to me were included in the above list). My day was topped off with a fantastic Nerf war (both my brother Caleb and my cousin Thomas got the Vulcan) and an hour of Left 4 Dead 2, which was completely awesome, except when I had a horde of zombies chasing me through three floors of a shopping mall (among them the two most dangerous zombies: two chargers and a witch). So much for peace on earth.
I sang along to some Christmas songs. Then I came home and watched some comedians. Only half of them were funny.
That's all. Have yourself a merry little X-mas!
