Xmas and Parties

The holiday season is here, which is great. My mom had the house with Christmas decorations since before Thanksgiving. But I have to tell you that we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here. It's now starting to "catch on", because apparently people here think it's fashionable to have a Thanksgiving celebration. What did I do for my Thanksgiving break? Nothing. I had the day off because of it, though. I went to the gym and spent the whole day at home.

But now we have Christmas. I started my holiday shopping a few weeks ago. You'll have to know that I hate shopping! Shopping for me is one of the worst punishments. But, it has to be done. So I started doing my Christmas shopping little by little. But you would say, well since you already started you'll probably close to being done, right? Nope. Not even close. I still haven't decided what I'm getting my parents or my brother (who also has a birthday coming up). This always gets me worried.

I'm a simple person to shop, on the other hand. The perfect gift for me? A gift certificate for a bookstore. That always makes me happy. My friends are starting to catch on, so I don't longer buy books in December because I get them after Christmas with the gift certificates all my thoughtful friends and family give me. Cool, huh? I'm suck a geek, I know. But it really doesn't matter to me, lol.

But of course we all know that with the Christmas season there are also different parties to attend. I start that tomorrow. We are going to celebrate with the kids at work that they are almost out for winter break. And on Thursday, my friends from work and I are going to celebrate that WE are out for winter break. What are we going to do? We are going to go out without a real plan, so I'll have to tell you about that later. Maybe on Saturday.

So, I guess that I pretty much is all I have to say. I was pretty sure that I came to blog about something but I don't remember what it was. Maybe I'll remember later and edit this out.
