!Feliz Navidad!

Merry Christmas everybody. I had an excellent Christmas and got most of the things I asked for, including an autographed picture of Nolan Ryan after getting hit in the mouth with a line drive with the blood everywhere, which I thought there was no way I was getting. It was a total fluke thing. My aunt knew I wanted one and she went to a local craft show and there happened to be a memorabilia dealer there and she asked if they had a Nolan Ryan autographed Bloody Lip picture and they said yes and it was a done deal.
I also got a personalized framed picture of my name on the Yankee Stadium scoreboard during a game. It's pretty awesome too.
I also thought I wasn't getting a set of golf clubs to replace the ones I've grown out of, but I got that too. Now I can play golf without needing Knee-Savers.
A Rangers 10-pack of tickets also came my way. I'm so excited about being able to drive to Arlington myself for games since I get my license in March. Now a 10-pack actually means "10" instead of "5" since I had to have a parent go. (Nothing against my parents they are awesome and I love going to games with them.)
The Uncle John Bathroom Reader I got is also pretty fun too. It has a ton of interesting, funny, and amazing stuff in there, and I even learned how to make and origami toilet. It looks pretty rough but hey, it's a toilet. Sometimes that's all you need.
A couple pairs of pajama pants, some golf balls, a book of Psalms written in some pretty language, a Target card and a set of like 118 Black and Decker drill bits round it out.
I made myself a Baseball Opening Day Countdown Thing (97 pieces of paper and a bunch of staples and your imagination) where I can tear off one piece of paper daily and then see how much days left till Opening Day (March 31st).
One of my good friends passed on a tradition to me that his friend started a while back. You take a "fish" fishing lure and put it in the corner of the roof of your car and when someone else that does it sees that they pray for you. It is a neat deal and I plan on passing it on to my friends. In return I gave him a Krusty doll from The Simpsons that I won from a vending machine at a Fuddruckers in Austin after the State Championship cross-country meet.
Two more weeks till the break is over and we have to get back to school but that's a good thing b/c we are getting our State Rings presented to us between basketball games the Tuesday that we get back.
I had a great Christmas with friends and family and God has blessed my family and me in so many ways.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!
