Christmas Post
Haha, look, I'm back already. Can't keep me away for long ;D!
Yay presents! For all of you who don't know, in Germany we open our presents on Christmas Eve rather than the 25th, which means I already have mine xD. I got lots of cool stuff: a book on origami, which is cool because I love origami, a book on coffee which I'm addicted to (the coffee, not the book), the special edition DVD of my favorite movie ever, Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail, a new notebook, the first book of the His Dark Materials series, a calender, clothes, and of course the House/Wilson Grace Kelly vid edited by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tli which you can download here.
ETA: Totally forgot about my shiny new computer sound system and a huge (80x60 cm = 24x31 inches) collage of photos of American license plates from 28 different states. The collage sounds like a nerdy present, and it probably is, but I think it's awesome because it looks pretty and I love collecting stuff. I'll post pictures! ;D
I did not get the Converse Chucks I asked for, because my mom can't order over the internet (she's a smart woman, really, she went to university and everything, but ordering stuff over the internet? No way.), but she did give me her credit card details and said, 'go ahead and buy whichever shoes you want', so that's what I did. Here's to them getting delivered before New Year when I'll need them for my costume.
We all had a good time, my family and me, but we called it a night rather soonish because my sister has a doctor's appointment at 8am tomorrow morning (it's nothing serious, just something she needs a check-up for tomorrow, no matter whether it's Christmas or not. She's rather annoyed about it.), which gave me the opportunity to make this post. Yay! ;)
Today in church (me personally, I wouldn't go to church, but it's a thing my family does on Christmas, so I went along), there was the usual Christmas sermon, and everybody was dozing off while the priest was going on about Christmas and Jesus and world peace and stuff, until suddenly, everybody perked up when he said:
"Well, you all know Tina."
Everybody's like, Uh, what?
"Tina is well known to each one of you."
Everybody: What the hell is he on about?
"You really don't know Tina?"
Everybody: No, we freaking well don't know Tina. What are you talking about?
"There Is No Alternative. TINA."
He then proceeded to talk about how in everyday life, it's often that we have to choose the smaller of two evils, but on Christmas, it's not like that etc etc. It was weird, though. I myself thought he was talking about some girl who'd been on the news that I'd missed (I tend to miss important news), my dad thought he was talking about some saint he'd forgotten about (he tends to forget about stuff like that, lol), and my older sister actually thought the priest had done one sermon too many and was cracking up. It was cause for great puzzlement, our priest's Tina ;).
Right. So, Christmas Eve has come and gone. Now it's time for Doctor Who! Xmas Special yays! :D
