Ahhh Christmas Eve, FINALLY! No hint of snow, even at this time of night, so I think we will not have a White Christmas this year. BUT everything else on my afore-mentioned checklist seems to be in order, including MOAR presents kudos to ma mère et mon beau-père, and mon père even bought my sisters a little somethin' somethin'. Due to one of them sitting next to me as I type this, I can't say exactly what just yet, but they'll love it. I know they will haha, since it was on both of their lists I believe. Maybe. One of them for sure lol. We were all offered the chance to open one present tonight, and Marissa and I objected, where everyone else was a unanimous and emphatic resounding... Yes. Of course haha. Marissa and I wanted more presents to open tomorrow, so you be the ultimate decider of whether we are the greedy ones or not ;].
My dad got the internet turned back on with 14 minutes to spare before they closed for the WEEK and weekend. My mom said over the din of the computer playing Smashing Pumpkins' "Zero" that it was back on now, and I spazzed and went to Kofk.de [Kingdom of Knuffle] to collect my daily prize, seeing as how I've now missed two of 24 and did not want to further put myself in the hole. Then I hit Roliana for the daily item there, until it dawned on me... Farmville gifts are openable now! [Okay, so, My mom might have SORT of maybe hinted [[told]] me that they were openable >_>"] So I went and cleared out my hundred-and-some-odd-number of presents, and re-organized my entire farm. I harvested and sold just about all of my animals. Well, I harvested them all, and sold any that were not event-oriented, limited, rare, special edition, or hard-to-come-by. Because I know I'll get them all over again in no time. I accidentally divided my farm with Christmas Ornament Trees, and decided to run with it. Now half of my farm is Autumn/Thanksgiving and half of my farm is Winter/Christmas. I'm quite happy with the turnout.
For supper, my dad ordered Two Large Philly Cheese Steak Pizzas from Domino's, a 2-Liter of Coca Cola, a 2-Liter of Sprite, and a batch of free Cinna-Stix. Great supper idea, and came to $39.92, tax and delivery charge included, so we paid $40.00 to the driver/deliverer. I opened the first box to dish everyone their share, and as I'm pulling two pieces out for my mom, what do I behold with mine own eyes? Mushrooms. Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE Mushrooms, as do my step-dad, dad, and sister. But my mom is allergic to them, and highly to boot. So I'm like "Ohhhhh..... *cricket cricket*.. Crap, there's Mushrooms!!!" 
My mom says "It's fine, I'll have Ramen or something, you guys go on and eat."
But how can I consciously eat a Philly Cheese Steak Pizza, knowing how much my mom loves Philly Cheese Steak!? So, I offer to call them back and ask to exchange the un-touched pizza for one without Mushrooms, since one of us is allergic, and she says no and that it's fine.
But, I can't even dish myself knowing 5 of us would be eating Delicious Philly Cheese Steak Pizza and Soda and Cinna-stix, while my mom was stuck washing things to cook with, cooking her own dinner, and eating Ramen Noodles of all things, and on Christmas Eve! So, disregarding her wishes [because I can already feel how awful she's feeling about having to be stuck with Ramen while we enjoy and engorge ourselves on Pizza] I call Domino's back, and explain what happened honestly, and tell them we've not even opened the second pizza, since it's the same as the first; Which we hadn't. I explain a second time to the Manager, and he says that it's alright, and it won't cost anything, not even a delivery charge! Not believing my luck, I explain to everyone, and they're in amazement. Sadly, mon beau-père has to wait to eat, since Myself, my sisters, and my dad, have already dished and devoured the first pizza. I offer mon beau-père my two pieces, saying I'm more than happy to wait, and eat off the non-mushroom pizza with ma mère. He refuses, and I repeat more than thrice is he sure, I REALLY don't mind. Finally giving up, I settle down and eat my two pieces.
Half an hour later, we're discussing just not handing the pizza to them, because [in the words of mon père and mon beau-père] "It's just going straight in the trash when they get there anyway, why not keep it?"
I explain that, "I've already said we're exchanging the pizza for pizza, and that it's the honest thing to do. It's Christmas Eve, we shouldn't be contemplating the ripping-off of an already more than wonderful establishment, that has granted us a re-do on a pizza for free." 
The person arrives, and I hesitate... To offer the exchange, or not to offer the exchange?
My honest side gets the better of me, and I pick it up and open the door. 
I carefully offer it up to the delivery man, and he shakes his head, saying, "No-no, it's alright, Happy Christmas! You guys keep it!" and he hands over the non-mushroom pizza.
I say emphatically, "Thank you so much! You as well!!!" and close the door, smiling.
Honesty paid off! We got a free [including delivery and everything!] Large Philly Cheese Steak Pizza!
I come in, and exclaim the news to my family, and everyone's eyes widen in surprise, having apparently not entirely believed we'd get to keep the original pizza. 
I rub in mon père's face that "See? Honesty paid off!!"
Back in the kitchen, as I'm dishing my mom her NON allergenic pizza, my dad comes rushing in, claiming that "Well, you didn't exchange it, so we would have kept the pizza anyway!"
Of course he has to come back, that is his way after all haha.
Soooo back to the present opening, My dad opened his first present, and it was more socks, carefully picked as replacements for all of his, as I would liken his current ones to... Swiss Cheese so far gone it's ashen, but has miraculously retained it's holey hold. Mon beau-père got two T-Shirts from Hot Topic, which are AMAZING. The first is black, and has shiny decor on the front. The second made me think back to my ex, Chase. It was a white shirt [which he has taken a liking to in the past year] with felt/velvet gothic angel/demon wings on the front, among other graffiti-like graphics [which gave me Chase's punk-vibes]; But the most striking image that struck the deepest chord? A single word, really. But as with many words for me, it struck just such a chord, that it was like a harmonic. A note within a note within a note in a single song. Vengeance.
Really, it's not such a bad word, nor does it pop up often in much of my imagery. Not in it's original form anyway. But it's flip-side does, and it's original meaning is apparent. Sngnev ringing any bells? It should. It's Vengeance phonetically backwards. Ven-Gince. Vengns. Sngnev. Beginning to get the picture, eh?
*apathetically sour nodding*

But in the spirit of Christmas, I just voiced that "THAT is something I'd like to get Chase for Christmas! *Laughs Jovially*"
Annnd My youngest sister, Natasha, was the third and last to open an early present. She got a purple T-Shirt from Hot Topic, that has all the characters of "The Nightmare Before Christmas", and it looks AMAZING. 

And now, as I wrap up this particular entry, it's quarter to 1AM on Christmas Morning, and I'd like to save some room for today's blog that is SURE to come. I love you all, and wish you all the most warm and wonderful Happy Holidays and New Years! Hopefully you all are with family and loved ones, and are full of the blissful winter spirit. <3
