For those who are celebrating Christmas on the other side of the earth, Merry Christmas. Wait, I think Christmas might be over for you folks. Oh well. For those who are on the same side as I am on, Merry Christmas Eve, and have a Merry Christmas tomorrow. Hope you have a safe one with lots of good food and no drunken family drama. And for those who celebrate Hanukkah, enjoy the rest of yours.

The holiday season is finally winding down. Finally. I swear it; I think that it’s been shoved down our throats before Halloween. That’s 3 months of stressing over what to get for relatives, even the ones who won’t even get their own parents presents (long story). Then thousands of dollars and plus 15 pounds later, you’re busy working your ass off in more ways than one just to get ready for the next one. Ain’t that a bitch?

I am in the spirit just enough to not act Grinchy around small children. I’ve decided on baking some sugar cookies (which reminds me–I need to get some recipes). Children will enjoy it, diabetics will hate me. I love the Christmas carols, both traditional and contemporary. A few nights ago on Plurk, a fan of mine started singing (writing) “Last Christmas” originally by WHAM!. Immediately after reading it, I replied with a line out of the song. Although this song does remind me of him, it hasn’t kept me from belting it out. Santa wasn’t too generous in the love area for me, but it’s okay. I’m going to send an email to a Leprechaun from now so that I can be sent love by St. Patrick’s Day.

The thing I’m going to miss is my mom’s baked macaroni and cheese. You can’t get me to eat macaroni and cheese any other way, and she only cooks it at most 3 times a year. My mom has a creative hand in cooking, and for Thanksgiving this year, she made mashed potatoes with cheese. I gave her the WTF look, but she did it anyway. Now she came up with another idea–putting meat in the mac and cheese. Once again, WTF look. Then I said, “do not mess with the macaroni and cheese.” I like to nom nom, not puke puke, m’kay?

I’ll have to see if she listened.

But anyway, while it’s sad to see that after this Thursday there is no point of keeping Christmas lights up, it’s also a sigh of relief. Thank goodness it’s over and thank goodness I survived. I added the song “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” immediately after the voice blog recording¹. Enjoy, and Happy Holidays.

PS: Today is the beginning of winter. That is teh sucks.

My mom asked me to check something for her online. She was looking for shipment info for some things that she ordered. I’m looking and I catch a glimpse of a laptop stand with fan on her account. She knew that I was flirting with the idea of getting one eventually, so she got me this for Christmas. But of course, she completely forgot that she did. The look on her face was priceless. And my legs are counting their blessings. Um…oops?
Tags: holidays, wtf oops!

As I said on this entry, if I can afford it, I’d buy everyone a Christmas present. Kaylee came up with a good idea–homemade presents. I like this idea, and the creative person in me can probably dream something up. However, I need to be steered in the direction of ideas. So, do you have any?
