I'm having an extremely hard time getting into the Christmas spirit this year. Usually I am super excited for the whole holiday season, but not this year. For some reason, it just doesn't feel like Christmas to me.
My mom had to ask me a hundred times for a wish list, so I spent hours trying to come up with suggestions. I can honestly say, I don't really want anything. I must be getting old because I asked for socks and a clip board for Christmas....who does that?!
One of my favorite parts about Christmas is gift-giving. I love skeeming over the perfect gift for weeks for that special someone. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy giving gifts to everyone, family members included, but it's not the same as giving the perfect gift to the one that you love. I consider myself to be a pretty great gift-giver - like the time I got my ex basketball tickets to the MU/KU basketball game. I was on the computer at 7:45 a.m. the day the tickets went on sale waiting for 8 a.m. The tickets sold out fast, but I got them! Or when we flew over Kansas City to look at the city lights for his birthday. I didn't tell him what we were doing until we pulled into the airport.
But, on the bright side, I saved a bunch of money this holiday season by not having a boyfriend!
There's always hope for next year....I just have to make it through this holiday season first [Which is a little hard to do when All I want for Christmas is you]

...use it on YOU for once. :) You DESERVE it...like a massage or somethin'!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way, absolutely LOVE giving gifts to people, particularly a bf. I'm S.O.L. in that department too this year. ...I think The Librarian & I are exchanging a little something when he returns from San Fran, but idk. It's not the same & it can be hard the 1st Christmas without someone, I know.
Chin up & MERRY CHRiSTMAS to you & your family, GOD BLESS! :)
