The buzz of Christmas is everywhere
It's only a couple days 'til break, but my celebration starts today
It's my birthday, so tonight there'll be cake and gifts
I don't have to wait until Christmas morning like everyone else
Then there's the last day of school, which is supposed to be an easy, fun day
We get out early and everybody's excited
We pick up the girls and head home
Soon mom and dad join us
We have every day of the break planned and filled
That weekend we have Christmas with either side of the family
Normally the my dad's side, and we go to Grand Island or Lincoln and stay at my aunt's
There's always a big meal, followed by gift opening that night
Anyone who hasn't graduated college gets a gift from everybody
If you've graduated you only get gifts from grandma and grandpa
Then we head back home and have a day off, then it's Christmas Eve
We are always home, just us as a family, on Christmas Eve
On Christmas morning we wait until all us kids are away and wait in our rooms
Then we go get mom and dad, and admire our gifts under the tree and empty our stockings
A few days later is my mom's side's Christmas
We eat crab legs that Carl brings from St. Louis
Mmmmm mmmmmmm
Then there's gifts and sometimes we shoot for some fun
Then we do different things the rest of break
Of course, there's still practice
But then we're back to our regular routine of school on a daily
