For those of you who do not know, I am a juggler. I am not a hardcore, juggle 17 balls and pinwheels and chainsaws type of juggler, but I hope one day I might be the warm up act for one of those guys (mostly because chainsaws are sharp and painful, and I like my fingers). Now I know, you probably think, when I say "juggling", of three or more objects that you toss and catch in funny patterns that make people clap and giggle. There, my beloved readers, you would be wrong. juggling is the minipulation of objects in all sorts of forms from regular club juggling to poi (your on the internet, if you don't know what poi is look it up), and one of those silly, more obscure juggling forms is the diablo or the chinese yoyo. The blue thing in the picture at the right is my new diablo. It comes with two sticks that are attachted by a long string and the idea is to spin it while it is on the string and do tricks with it, such as basic throw and catch, or more complex like the elevator! But still it was rockin'!We opened our presents at 6 this evening (the 24th). I know, that sounds funny (that's because it is), no not really, it's just the german way. It's different, but also kind of fun. Germany opens up their presents for christmas on christmas eve. Some say after dinner, some say after a certain hour. It all depends of the region and the family. But no matter where you are I guarentee that you will eat much more chocolate than you need for a lifetime and feel much more well rested than being woken up by younger brothers and sisters at the crack of dawn. It was quite a beautiful evening of food and smiles and laughs, and though I am far away from my family, I know that they are having just as wonderful a time leaving cookies and getting "big presents for big boys" as my nephew would say and I also know that I have new family members here, adding more love to the christmas love melting pot. Merry Christmas! Happy Holiday! Sleep well and get "Big Boy Gifts"!
