Flushing My Christmas Spirit Down The Drain

I am not being a Scrooge...it literally happened. About 1:00 in the afternoon on the eve of Christmas I was suddenly hit...hard in the stomach with a virus?bacteria? Whatever it was it was very mean and unkind to me. That same mean bug also decided to try and destroy Josh while it was at it...luckily it spared Carter. Come to find out it was trying to take out the whole Silvester clan. My mom, Nate, Megan, Halle, and Casey all fell prey to "The Horrible" Therefore, instead of cozying up to the Christmas Tree we were cozying up to the toilet for a day. We managed to keep ourselves upright for Carter to open his gifts and then we laid around all day trying to recover from the brutal attack. YUCK! Needless to say it was a disappointing Christmas. It was the first time Josh and I did not spend it in Twin Falls with my family. I really wanted to make it special and start new traditions...I sure hope this wasn't one.
