My little brother got married this summer, so this was my first Christmas without him. He always gets me up at the crack of dawn, wakes my parents up, and usually sleeps on the floor in my room in a sleeping bag so we can stay up and talk. (We're hanging on to our childhood). It's been hard because he's my best friend in the world. Even though he only lives a few seconds away, we hardly saw him at all. It was pretty wierd, and at first it was really bad, but he called me first thing this morning to wake me up.
Mainly, it was a wonderful day.
Tom, I'm sorry you didn't get to be with your family. I don't know what I'd do without mine!
I hope everyone had a great day, and if you didn't, I'll definitely pray that the next week is amazing!
