Well it's Christmas again and I'm taking a break from the family to drop off presents and things at my apartment. I did my laundry too because tomorrow Nate and I are going for a 4-day long Florida vacation with his family and I need to smell/look clean. After that we are heading straight up to Athens, picking Emma up along the way, and meeting Gracie to go see Of Montreal. I got some really nice things I'm excited about. The list includes a new digital camera, a pretty red tea kettle, vintage hand-towels with beautiful embroidery, two vintage glass perfume bottles to put my perfume in, a "refurbished" ipod, books, movies, earrings, some kitchen supplies like glass bowls, lavender soaps, and gift cards to urban outfitters and target. Overall it was a very nice Christmas. I still have dinner with my aunts and grandparents tonight to look forward too. It's strange that Nate doesn't care about Christmas and doesn't really celebrate it. I guess I always have known that differences of beliefs would play a part in our lives, but I did find myself wishing that he found Christmas important. Of course that is silly and selfish of me and I know he's not missing anything since he didn't grow up with the tradition or Christian beliefs, and he has other holidays to celebrate. With time we'll learn how to incorporate each others traditions. We're doing pretty good at it so far. He can't wait for the Christmas music to be over, which I can fully understand.
Hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas too!
