christmas morning surprise.

So I wake up christmas morning and head downstairs to look at what "Santa" had brought me and my siblings just like every year. Except this year my pile looked very plain and boring... there were some things I knew i was getting and then there were two brown cardboard boxes. I looked around at the other stuff first and then looked closer at the boxes to see the label on the side said nativity..... My immediate thought was, "Nativity, I didn't ask for a nativity? What am I going to do with a nativity?" Then I sat down with the boxes, (No one else was up yet) and opened each lil wooden character up, slowly I of course got emotional because one, conviction of my immediate reaction being so ungrateful and two, because of how beautiful and special it was that I now have my own very nice nativity that I can keep forever in my own home and share with my family someday. These figurines are so special and symbolic of the true meaning of Christmas. The nativity quickly became my favorite gift by far. It's still sitting out on display and I love looking at it. It's something I would have never thought to ask for but something I will treasure forever....



and oh yeah I also got this BALLIN vest....



I should be easy to spot in that one :0)
