Special Occasions

Family reunions only take place on special occasions, in my family at least. Usually on Christmas day, the entire family will get together at my grandparents house to open presents, play games, eat lots of food, and celebrate it together. This might sound like fun, for most of you, but if you knew my family, you’d hate it as much as I do. Christmas is really no time to celebrate, for me.
Nearly all of my male relatives are involved in politics, one way or another. Sharing this passion, they spend most time talking about their political careers, which don’t interest me in the slightest. I try to find other activities, such as talking to my cousins, but they’re so young I don’t know what to talk to them about. However, this means I don’t have to listen to my other relatives talk, so it’s definetely a good thing.
Running out of things to talk to them about is a bad sign, and it usually meant I had to sit at the Christmas table and just nod absent mindedly. The TV didn’t help, as only Christmas movies and shows were on, and I pretty much know all of them. Good thing for me I remembered one of my Christmas presents I’d never really used.
That’s how I started using my iriver h10 mp3 player . By listening to music and not having to listen to their boring conversations, time was passing much quicker. My parents got a little upset with me, saying it was rude to listen to music and not talk to my relatives, but they let me do what I pleased, in the end. My small player became indispensible.
When the time cam to move out of my parents house, I did, but my little player moved with me, and whenever our big family reunion is coming up, I start loading it with music, in preparation.
