Anyway, last night I was craving a little Christmas spirit. So Ben and I watched Elf (I don't know why I love that movie so much, but I've watched it a million times and could watch it a million more!) and drank some hot chocolate with marshmallows (left over from Halloween rice crispy treat ingredients!). And now I'm so ready for Christmas!
I don't know why I love Christmas so much, but it is just my absolute favorite time of the year. Even though the weather sucks (come on, why can't it just snow if its going to be cold and wet?!), and I have no money to buy good gifts for everyone, I just love it. The decorations, the food, the shopping, the food, the family get-togethers, the planning, the fun events, the food, etc. I've always been single during the holidays (or...always...) and so I'm even more excited to have a special someone to share the holidays with this year! Makes it even better! Although coordinating family holiday events is not exactly easy...
To kick off the Christmas shopping season this year I may even do some Black Friday shopping. Why, you ask? I have no idea. I hate Black Friday shopping. But I don't have to work Friday (at least I don't think I do....schedules are subject to change at any given time at my work) and figure maybe I can snag some good deals. Although I may end up murdering people because I don't really like malls at normal times of the year, much less when they are FULL of PSYCHOS. But, I'm all about the budget shopping, and what better time to do it? Plus, I need some socks.
P.S. Google image search "Elf." There are some interesting things out there. Especially this.
