it did not feel like christmas on christmas day, rather because we celebrated it all before. on the 23rd we opened presents. it is crazy how much you can get for christmas. guess all that christmas shopping was worth it after all. on the christmas eve we drove down to st. louis and had a christmas mass followed by a huge family party. so on the actual christmas day, we slept in, had an epic snowball fight and ate. there was sooo much food for the holidays, my weight is soaring and it has no inclination to stop.
after christmas, i had a little sightseeing in st. louis. the arch, one of the must see in st. louis is the symbol of the westward expansion when president jefferson sent louis and clark after the louisiana purchase. however, the arch itself was built in 1965 and amazing no man died from it.

another must see is the city museum, most enjoyable by children. it has a ten story slide and caves as well as some architecture exhibits. the building used to be a shoe factory, but is now a museum as the factory failed to compete with, the oh so fiercesome- china.
so that was my first american christmas, and now i'm hogging leftover christmas cookies.
