Chestnuts roasting over an open fire...
I love Christmas. I love it with a heady, giddy passion. I love it for all the stereotypes made about it, I love it for the uniquely asian take my family puts on it (dumplings for a christmas feast, anyone?). I love it for the glamour of the lights and ornaments and glitzy, crinkly, glorious wrapping paper. I love it for the contrast of warm and cold.
If Christmas were a person, object, or animal, I would hug it forever! And as stupid as that statement is, I so would. FOREVER.
Christmas, aside from giving me delicious warm fuzzy feelings and smelling amazing, also allows me to indulge in my more material side. Which, in my defense, actually ISN'T one of the reasons I love it (the reasons have more to do with food, smells, and bright shiny lights). In fact, when I was younger, I didn't really care about the presents aspect of Christmas at all.
Now, however, it gives me the green light to ogle all sorts of useless things that I would otherwise brush off. For example, these bow barrettes from Kate Spade. I don't know why, but I think they're the most adorable things I've ever seen. I want to throw a Christmas party just so I can buy these and wear them to it!!
I would never ask for them for Christmas, but it's just one of those things that comes around this time of year that makes it so unique and fun!
On another note, I am loving Gaga's new song, Bad Romance. No joke, it's one of my favorites that she's come out with. The first time I heard it, it sort of turned me off, but I listened to it again and now I can't get enough! Sort of like my love affair with GLEE. I want to sit in bed and watch Glee for the rest of my goddamn LIFE. It's an amazing show, so much talent!
Anyway sleepytime
