Holiday Blues....

Whatever happened to the joy of the Christmas holiday that we felt when we were kids? Man it truly is a holiday for kids. It seemed so magical and wonderful back then. Now it is just a hassle and stressful. I remember the anticipation I felt waiting for the time to open the presents and hoping I got everything I asked for. Now I find myself just glad that we draw names and don't buy presents for everyone anymore. Even if it means that I don't get as many gifts; I don't have to buy as many gifts and that is far more valuable to me in my adulthood. My how times change. Being a kid really is priceless. Before the world get's a hold of you and wears you down. Fa la la la la... :)

Holidays....

Happy holidays to all. I am actually getting into decorating for the holidays this year. I bought a tree thanks to "peer pressure" from my best friend. But now that I got it up I do actually like it. I will never admit that to her though! :) I have outside lights up and even inside lights. It's looks pretty festive in here if I do say so myself. Not sure why I am spending my money on this stuff. It's just me here. But at least it looks nice for me I guess. Most of the year I am fine being alone, but the holidays tend to make you feel like you are missing something if you don't have a significant other. All the family and togetherness that the holidays stands for. Oh well..
Times like this I am thankful for my friends though. I am truly blessed in that regard. I don't have a ton of friends, but I have 2 or 3 real quality friends and that is far better. They are the best.
