Burnt like toast.
Baaaaack.
I had to wake up early today, and I actually went to bed late last night which is something different to me these days. Last year I'd stay up till 12, 1, 3 on school nights EVERY night, and on school nights AND weekends now I can't stay up past 10:30 it seems, haha. Anyway. I had two friends over last night, and it was quite fun. I'm just kinda tired now, but plan on staying up late tonight. Maybe. I'll need something to do. I want to stay up late this break and really enjoy it.
Sadly, I've noticed that I, among others aren't feeling like it's Christmas. It seems the spirit that was once there has vanished. I LOVE Christmas. I love the feeling, I love the kindness, I love the shows and movies that have been playing repeatedly for years and years! I love everything about Christmas. I wish it could feel like that all year long, but I don't know. Usually at this time I'm about to burst with holiday spirit but it just feels different. I think it has to do a lot with mom working and being busy all the time, and the same for my boyfriend. Mom, my brother, sister, and I always go all out for Christmas. Almost every night we'd watch Christmas specials till we were dead tired, we'd bake a million cookies, and we'd decorate the house as much as we could. This year? We have some* decorating, the only cookies made were a few batches I made with my brother and sister yesterday, and mom never has time to watch the specials with us. We understand, but it's sad nonetheless.
AND THE WEATHER! Ah. 50 degrees? Muddy? Expected rain?? COME ON!! I want a white Christmas! I want cold weather and pretty snow! We have a chance of snow showers on Christmas day, and I really hope we get a pretty decent amount. I want a white, pretty Christmas.
It's so sad. I look forward to Christmas time all year long, and before we know it it's going to be over.
