Boo.
So Christmas is around the corner. Does anyone really celebrate it anymore? I don't mean presents. I don't mean hanging stockings on the fireplace or putting up lights around your house.
I mean spending time with FAMILY. Not even doing anything eventful. Maybe sit around and talk, catch up, spend a significant amount of time with the ones you love.
I get to do JUST that for the first time in...2 years.
Not ONLY do I get to road trip up to Chicago to spend time with my Mom, Little brother, and Mom's boyfriend (who is just as much part of my family as he is his own), but I get to bring Steve with me. This might not seem like a huge deal to everyone else, but it is fantastically kickass to me. For the years that I have known him, he has always hated the holidays. Never really got into them, and actually got physically depressed over them. For as long as he has been my friend, I have tried to make every holiday with him memorable. One year, for his Birthday, I made him his favorite cake, got him some Manga he wanted, and spent the day watching movies. Just THAT made him not hate his Birthday that year. I want to make this Christmas the best he has ever had.
And of course, if you know my mom, you KNOW that Steve has a nice little chunk of space under the Tree for gifts just for him. So far they have racked up: 8gig PSP mem chip, a dozen movies (his favorites), a new wardrobe fresh from Kohls, A LEATHER FUCKING JACKET (with cotton hood), New Bedsheets, New Pillows, New Shoes (Boots and Chucks I do believe). I mean, he has always come from a poor family...I think he will be overwhelmed this year. And not that presents make the holiday, but I don't think he has ever got to experience the excitement you get as a kid, anxiously waiting for Xmas morning to open presents. I don't care if I get anything at all....just seeing his face will be enough for me.
I love that boy with all my heart, and He'll have the best damned family filled good time Christmas or I'll kill him. 8D
That and my mom is making stuffed peppers when we get there. You'll never know how awesome they are because you aren't cool enough to chill with my mom. XD
I can has hair extensions now? My dad gave me the rest of the funds I needed to get them. So I am in Griffin right now hanging with Madi and Marv and Steve. Maybe tomorrow Madi will help me out with it and put them in for me.
Oh, And I am TOTALLY bringing Cookies to the Border Pagans Yule Party. And you can't stop me.
