OK people. I promise to get better
at this once time restraints are no longer an issue. How vague is that? Anyway,
we are rapidly approaching one of my very favorite times of the year.
Christmas. While I am not overly religious, I will always put Christ in
Christmas. More out of respect than anything, but for some reason it annoys the
bejeebus out of me to see the X in front of it. Are you lazy or what? If you
are an atheist or whatever, I could see it but then why celebrate it at all. Oh
well. To each his own, you know?
Now, onto the fun stuff. PRESENTS!!
I LOVE giving presents!! It totally makes my year. I look forward to this all
year. I even start super early. This year, I have become crafty. For those of
you who know me, I do not where/why/when this happened, but it did. Get over
it. So I am actually making a lot of my gifts this year. I personally would rather
have a gift that you made and actually put some thought into than a store
bought, so that is what I am doing for the majority of my friends and family.
Probably not my children because, well, they are children. And they sprang from
my loins and I did not always feel this way.
I am not making the gifts to be
cheap. On the contrary, it actually costs a lot more to be crafty than to just
go buy something. But it is so fun and I promise, a lot of thought, effort and
hard work has gone into it. So if you are (un)lucky enough to receive a gift
from me this year - that was the thought process behind it. I hope you like it.
If not, jump right up my butt!
I am also in the process of
Griswolding my home and office. I bought the cutest Charlie Brown Christmas
tree ever last night and I am going to put it up in my office and decorate it
to death. So cute.
Well, I feel like I have rambled on
long enough for y'all to be annoyed so I will close with this. Whatever your
religion or lack thereof, this is a wonderful time of year. It is to be filled
with love, laughter and merriment. Please, hug your family and friends tight.
Tell them you love them - even if sometimes you don’t - because they may not
always be there and time marches on no matter how hard I try to stop it.
I'll try to bore you again before the actual holiday, but
with the parties, work and finals it is going to be busy so I want to tell you
now, Merry Christmas my friendlies. You are appreciated and loved. Whether you
want to be or not!
