Today I’m off to FC to deliver my Christmas presents and hopefully get some too! I’ve already received two really cool presents, unfortunately both were from work … haha. My boss gave me a $100 gift-card to Macy’s. I felt compelled to hug her …. afterall it was quite a big present. What can I say … people love me, haha. I also received a nice picture frame from our Chanukah gift-exchange party.
I guess I’m kind of glad that I’m not running around with a husband or kids, having to visit multiple families, feeling rushed, stressed, and tired. Maybe I’m not really a grown-up yet, because it seems like most of them don’t really like Christmas. I don’t think Christmas is that hard, its great for me. It is a time to be with the people you love. I have a mom, a dad, and a brother. Luckily my parents are married … I won’t say happily, but they live under the same roof so that is good. My dad’s parents have both passed away, but my mom’s parents are both alive. They live about five minutes from my parents, so thats easy. My mom has one brother and he has no kids. My dad has two brothers and a sister and they all have two kids each. I don’t think we are hanging out with that side of the family this year. That is fine by me.
I am off of work until January 3!!! Woo! Although I love hanging out with my family, I’ll die if I stay there that long. It isn’t like the days of being in college where I would move home for a month after my finals. I loved it. Every year I race to get my finals done … and I’d have all of my stuff packed so once I finished that last final, I could run back to my dorm / apartment and go home! I’d usually be off from mid-December through mid-January. I LOVED going home. But I don’t even have a bedroom at my parents house anymore. I had to give them my old coffeemaker, and it just doesn’t make that great of coffee. I pace around feeling bored.
I’ll probably be back here by the 27th or 28th, so I can continue to relax on my own in the comfort of my little box. I was thinking about making a new design for coffeebration. I thought maybe I’d cook some good food one of the days, watch some good movies, listen to music, go use that gift-card I got from work, and maybe find someone to keep me warm 😛
Anyways ….. Merry Christmas!!!
