It’s Christmas once again….
Dear oh dear
I dont know what it is about christmas but for some reason it is the only holiday or even thing that I celebrate that always comes by so fast.
Like birthdays I plan that stuff a month ahead and so when its time for the actual birthday I am prepared and ready. Even for Halloween I will plan my whole thing for the entire month. Like this Halloween I made a mask and I spent hours a day making it until the actual day of Halloween.
But Christmas… All of a sudden its BOOM I’m here.
The weird thing about Christmas this year is that its on a weekend. I don’t remember the last time Christmas was on a weekend but I do have horrible memory. But Christmas this year is on a weekend and it feels weird and as always I am so very behind on Christmas shopping and even my list of watching movies. I haven’t even watched my favorites yet. Its just been New Girl and well New Girl. Even Christmas music I haven’t really listened to its just normal music.
Some say the reason why Christmas doesn’t really feel like Christmas as we get older is because well we are older and we are no longer the kids who belove in Santa and we are no longer young running to the tree to see how many presents we got. We are adults hoping we get some descents socks and a vacuum.
The hardest part about Christmas besides not being in the mood for Christmas is buying people stuff for Christmas all of a sudden its like a wave of stress and a wave of forgetting everything you know about a person. Like a couple weeks ago I went Christmas shopping for my best friends as much as I love them and listen about their hobbies god forbid I knew what to get them. However going to the kids sections. Yes I said kid section for twenties year old’s does spark some ideas considering they love Star Wars and cars and stuff.
Even my mom is easy when it comes to shopping. She loves shirts, Jewelry, paper shredders apparently, and just random things that are cute. My dad on the other hand is horrible to shop for because he doesn’t tell you what he wants he doesn’t even want me to get anything for him….. All of a sudden I’m in bed scrolling through amazon hopelessly trying to find SOMETHING that my dad will love. When morning comes I’m calling my mom because even though I spent hours scrolling not a single idea popped into my head.
I love Christmas. You know the snow, The warm drinks even though I prefer cold. The Christmas feeling. Spending time with family and finding that gift and saying “Aha they will love this or maybe it hate we will see”.
So going back to this blog post because it seems I got lost along the way. Christmas is in two days well by the time this is posted it will be either christmas day or the next. But as of writing this I barley have any christmas shopping done and canada weather has decided that it will be cold windy and snowing and gross and make me question why I live in Canada.
*A Week Later*
This blog post was written last week and now Christmas is over and the new years is slowly approaching. What I can say about being behind on Christmas shopping because I procrastinate my life away is that I am never doing it again. Christmas eve was the coldest day we had this year so far along with high winds. Next Christmas I am buying stuff months ahead and will suffer another year of having now idea what to get my dad for Christmas…
Now until next time where I will stress for the next few months of what to get my friends and family for their birthday..
