Dear Diary,

It's 2019 as of current, the new year being around in only six days.

I'm not too sure why I decided to sit day the night of Boxing Day to write in a diary, like some middle school student.

I think it's an okay thing to do.

I'm really not too sure.

When I sat down, not only an hour ago, my mind was filled with all these crazy things to write about but now that I’m here, at my pen and paper, everything went blank.

No idea what I was intending to write but I guess I’ll start with how my day went.

Christmas time in my family is never a good thing.

Brief rundown about my family: fights.

Yeah, at Christmas time, my family was certainly not the best people to be around. I don’t know why we’re all at each other throats since Christmas is supposed to be a time of joy, happiness and getting bloated on all the good food that we only had on Christmas Day.

But basically, that’s that.

Christmas Day had fights. Fights over who got the better present. Fights over who wasn’t cooking breakfast or lunch. Fights with the siblings that came over; the only time of the year that we get to see them.

I actually didn’t have many siblings.

Being a son of Hades had many perks.

But that’s beside the point.

My friends were like my family considering they were related to me via the Greek side.

Hades, my dad, and Persephone tried their best to accommodate for everyone but in reality, even his castle wasn’t that big in the Underworld.

Everyone who could, came on Christmas Day.

Even Apollo did, who recently received his godly attributes back.

Have to admit, I liked this version of Apollo a lot better than the one before he turned into a mortal... again. This one had really broken him, in a way none of us could describe. Then again, we all had become a little extra broken this year since the incident with Jason.

Percy Jackson didn’t even come. He said that he was spending it with his family, however, this morning, we found him at Central Park, sleeping on a park bench, a picture curled in his hands. We weren’t too sure what the picture was but I had a guess at it being the one with Grover, Jason and him. One of the last photos they ever took and one of the last times we all had seen Jason.

He travelled alright in the Underworld, given a place in Elysium.

I made sure of that.

Dad did too.

He even let Percy see Jason one last time, after I talked some sense into him.

So yeah, Christmas wasn’t entirely the best but it was still good to see that people worked up the courage to come to the Underworld to celebrate it.

So that was Christmas. It ended up being alright, minus all the fighting.

Will and I even kissed under the mistletoe.

No details are being shared about that.

Anyways, I think that sums up about everything.

Besides, other than finding Percy, Boxing Day was really uninteresting.

So, that’s all.

Just wanted to keep my diary in usage for once instead of just letting it sit and collect dust.

Nico out.

So Arya here.

This kinda links to the the one shot I wrote for Xmas 😂😂 Also, the sunflower one shot. I had a part three for it but the file was with that USB that went missing. So I thought I'd give it a lil closure in this diary entry.

I wish this was better but I really wanted to give you readers something just anything. If this gets me writing again then at least it's progress.

I wanted to thank you all for sticking around still. Certainly means a lot to me.

Happy holidays and have a stunning 2020.
