So.
I have been a bad blogger.
Very veerrrrry bad blogger.
I wanted to blog everyday in December as a gift to my "readers" and post all of my cute DIY projects and favorite Christmas traditions, but sadly, that didn't happen.
Anyhow. I figured I'd share with all of you what I got for Christmas.
The best gifts I got this year are not tangible.
1. Love - Even though I know my family loves me all year round, it feels like they love me just a little bit more on Christmas.
2. Reassurance - Whenever you think you aren't going to make ends meet, somehow you find a way to do it, even if you have to sacrifice Christmas money for rent.
3. Joy - I spent almost a whole 24 hours with my family (excluding my brother because he's with his dad) and no one raised their voices, it was fantastic. It made me happy. It almost didn't seem like a family gathering since no one got angry at someone else.
4. A little hard to describe - Something inside of me has never been more sure of my future than now. At some point in my day, something just clicked and I have never felt peace like this before. Something just feels so right about all of my decisions right now, no matter how bleak it looks right now (loans, debt, poor grades), everything will work out just right.
And, the tangible gifts.
1. A cookie press - so I can start working on my house-wife skills.
2. Spice rack with free refills for FIVE YEARS! - Again, so I can work on my house-wife skills.
3. Deathly Hallows Necklace - someone knows that I love Harry Potter!
4. Card games - I love to play cards with people!
5. Target Gift Cards - Now I have 85 Target dollars to spend and not feel bad about it!
6. Perfume - I am appreciative even though some of it gives me a headache.
7. Money - nothing wrong with getting some dough...even if it is paying January rent.
The one downfall, well, not downfall but bummer part of Christmas is that I didn't get to spend at least a part of my day with the Boyfriend. He went to north for the weekend to visit both sides of his family. I get to see him tomorrow though, so all is okay. I just want my Christmas kiss, and whats wrong with that? Nothing!
I would love to write more but how often does one get to hang out with their sister, drink apple cider and watch Chopped without the burden of worrying about homework or work? Lemme give you a hint...not often!
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
