Dear Journal,

Well, I don't have anything really cool to say. I mean, Raven just gave this to me for Christmas. I've never been much of a writer, so I don't really know what she was thinking. But since everyone else fell asleep watching Christmas movies, I got bored and this weird journal she gave me was sitting here. Um, I don't really know what to write.

I guess I'll start out with Christmas Day. Well, I woke up first at five and then I woke up Starfire. We looked at the Christmas tree with all the presents under it. Every year, we get all these presents and we never figured out who is able to break in and put all these presents under the tree. I'm not stupid, I know there isn't a Santa (I actually didn't know this until about two years ago when Raven ruined it for me!) But like every year, me and Starfire look in our stockings first. We aren't allowed to open the real good presents until everyone else is up. It's Robin's stupid rule. He says it's tradition and I'm all like who cares, you know? We're a bunch of teenagers! Who cares about tradition? But Starfire being all weird says that he's right and we should wait. I swear, sometimes she acts like an adult but other times she's like a kid, like me!

And so, Cyborg woke up at six and Star and I watched him open his stocking. We all pretty much get the same things every year, but Star and Raven get some girlier things, but we always get the big fuzzy socks. Mine have Rudolf on them, Star's has Santa ones, Raven got elves, Robin got Christmas trees, and Cyborg got snowmen on his.

Anyway, Robin was the next to wake up at six thirty. Star got all excited and gave him his stocking to open. Raven took forever to get up. She got up at seven and me and Star and Cy couldn't wait to open our presents. But of course, Raven had to have her precious herbal tea! Can you even believe it? So, finally, we were able to open them at exactly seven eighteen. I got this journal from Raven, Mega Monkeys 7 from Cyborg, Robin got me new bed sheets. What the heck was he thinking? I mean, who wants sheets for Christmas? And Starfire got me a gift card for itunes. Good thing she got me one because I had to get new music because my other one thousand and fifty eight songs were getting really boring. Robin doesn't let us download them from other websites for free. Everyone else does it, so why can't we?

Anyway, from the mystery person, I got an Xbox 360 and tons of other stuff I can't even begin to start listing! It's totally awesome.

So, we all ate breakfast Cy made. He even made tofu pancakes! He never does that for me! And then, Starfire played the piano for us. She taught herself how to play some songs for the holidays, so that's nice. She got it for Christmas last year from that guy who started bring us presents two years ago. Raven actually sang! Her voice isn't even that bad, actually. And neither is Star's when she doesn't sing that weird Tamaranian stuff. They sounded good together. I'm happy Raven was able to have fun today. And Robin started singing. That was a train wreck. I was like dude, never open your mouth to sing ever again! And Cy was all like, BB's right for once, and Starfire was all polite and said to leave the singing to her. Cyborg, though, is pretty decent. He can sing like those man opera singers. I can't sing, though, but it didn't stop me and I wasn't ridiculed for it, even from Cy, so I guess I'm not as terrible as Robin. But we were nice and let him sing just for today.

So then, Cyborg started cooking with Starfire to make our late lunch or early dinner. I call it linner. Get it? Lunch and dinner combined? Or I'd call it dunch. But we were going to eat closer to dinner, so I'm going to call it linner. While they cooked linner, I played videogames with Robin and Raven was boring and read her book.

But then it was one and Robin, Raven, and Cyborg all go to church. It's the only day they go. I think Raven just goes out of respect for Cyborg and Robin. You wouldn't think that they'd be religious, but they kind of are. Starfire stays and finishes linner every year because she's an alien and worships her own goddess. I actually learned that her goddess, X'Hal, was actually a real person. She told me the whole history behind it, but I kind of forgot most of it. I just remember she was actually a real person. Starfire had a hard time wrapping her mind around the concept of our Christian Earth God. To be honest, I kind of doubt the whole God thing. But I just don't go to church because I have a short attention span and that kind of stuff bores me. Harsh, right? I'm not bashing my friends' beliefs or anything, but at least Starfire's goddess makes some kind of sense in that people had seen her at some point.

After that, Robin went to Batman's, Cy went to his grandma's, and I think Raven made a trip to Azarath to visit her mom. I don't have any living family that I know of, so I don't go anywhere special. Starfire could go to Tamaran, but they don't have Christmas there and it would be weird for her to go. And she said the only person she had left was her K'norfka who is really busy with stuff being emperor and all.

Anyway, I helped Starfire make dessert. We made pumpkin pie (substituting milk with soy milk. Cy didn't know and he ate it!) And I helped her make Christmas cookies and we finished making the gingerbread cookies. We had left over dough from yesterday, so we made them. And then we decorated them. The favorite one I made was of Robin. I accidently made his eyes too big so they look like one big eye. I totally made him a Cyclops!

Okay, so Starfire made me set the table. I had to get the good tablecloth. I don't get why we have to. It's not like anyone cares.

So then at around four, Raven got back and she brought her mom with her. And let me say this: I never met anyone who socialized less than Raven until today. Her mom, I think it was Arella? Yeah, she's very quiet and only speaks when someone talks to her. Cyborg came back with his grandma. She's a nice lady. I like her. She reminds me of the grandma I never had. She helped Starfire out in the kitchen. And then, Robin comes back with Batman! Needless to say, I got an autograph. Other honorary Titans showed up, too.

We ate linner at around four thirty. I had to sit next to Raven's mom. Talk about awkward! I tried to talk to her, but then it just became embarrassing to me because she only answered with one word or she would just smile and nod. So instead, I talked to the awesome Batman. Linner wasn't exciting. Then we had dessert. I had to keep myself from laughing when Cy ate the pumpkin pie!

After that, me and Star had to do the dishes. I mean, I understand why I would have to do the dishes, but she did a lot of the cooking! It's probably because we didn't have any family there to entertain. It happens every year, though. She says she doesn't care, but I saw her glancing at everyone else in the main room having fun. I tried to do a good deed and I told her she could go hang out with everyone and I'd do the dishes, but she refused. So, she washed and I dried. I was glad when Raven came in and said she'd put the dishes away with her weird mom.

I hung out with some other Titans. A lot of them just stopped by, then they had to leave. Eventually, everyone was gone. Me and Starfire made Robin and the rest of them pick up because we were all like come on, we did the dishes and I was like yeah and I helped! Then Raven made a joke about me being "mommy's little helper." I've got to say, that stung because my mom used to call me that when I was like four. I tried to hide it, but Starfire saw right through it and came to see if I was okay in my room. She asked me what was wrong so I told her. I said I missed my mom and stuff. I cried a little. I hate crying because that means I'm not manly. Star sat down next to me on my bed and put me on her lap like I was some kid. I'm a lot smaller than her, so it didn't look that stupid I don't think. She revealed that she had a book and it was T'was the Night Before Christmas. She read it to me. I've got to say, her voice is almost as comforting as my mom's. Almost.

Okay, so then night came. We watched a ton of classic Christmas movies. And then the rest of them passed out.

And that's where I am now. I've got to say, it was a fun day overall. I'm sitting on the couch next to Raven. She's really pretty when she sleeps, but she can't know that from me or else I'll be thrown out the window again. Cyborg had left for his room about an hour ago after everyone else fell asleep. Robin and Starfire are in kind of an awkward position. She's laying on his chest, but like, they're laying the same way. She's kinda between his legs. It's kind of awkward.

I just heard something, so I'm going to go check it out. Maybe it's wannabe Santa.
