This
blog is going to be all about CHRISTMAS! I might go off on some
tangents but that's because I can't think about any thing else to
blog about. Christmas time is here, full of joy and cheer. Yes, yes
it is. The sad thing is that it honestly doesn't feel like Christmas.
Where did time go? I remember when I was young used to count down the
days till Christmas day. It seemed like an eternity. Now Christmas
sneaks up on us so quick, I barely have time to go gift shopping!
Gift
shopping is so stressful and I am honestly the worst person when it
comes to buying gifts. I just never know what to get people. I need
to be more creative. I definitely need to be more creative. I usually
just end up going with the classic gift card. I mean gift cards are
great, they just aren't the most exciting gift. When you open a gift
card its like, “Oh yay! This is cash that I can only spend at one
place.” The worst thing is that by the time I come up with
something creative to get I usually have to order it. Then when I go
to order it, shipping has to take forever and it won't make it here
by Christmas. My goal this year is to get at least one person a
original gift.
Another
great thing about Christmas season is food. So. Much. Food. All. The.
Time. My mom loves to bake so we always have cookies and cake. The
best kind of cookies are the peanut butter ones with the Hershey Kiss
on top. YUM. We still make cookies for Santa and his helpers. Every
Christmas morning the milk is gone and the cookies are eaten. I
wonder who did that? Santa duh. We also still leave carrots and water
for Santa's reindeer. Flying all around the world makes them pretty
hungry!
Overall,
Christmas is the best holiday of the year. There are just so many
activities that go along with it! Merry Christmas to all and all a
goodnight.
I felt the exact same way this year. It seems as we get older, things are not as big of a deal as they used to be and time flies by so quickly. It feels as though just yesterday I was in Spain visiting my sister for Christmas and waiting for the new year, 2012. But now a whole year has passed by since then, and it is now 2013! I guess we just have to appreciate what we have while we have it, and enjoy the little things in life while we're still young.
ReplyDeleteI agree, original gifts are the best gifts, because gift cards is pretty much swapping money around with others. I'd blame it on the snow though! Christmas needs a lot of snow for it to be more "Christmas-like"
