i can't believe christmas is less than two weeks away.
so in the hour of procrastination, how do you feel about the holidays this year?
discuss.
i think the holidays feel less and less special every year. its difficult for me to even remember that its christmas, aside from the crappy holiday articles i have to write, which i loathe. i dont think anyone in my family is buying presents this year. i guess we're all too old to go thru the trouble. well atleast ill get to jump back down to LA for a few days.
but remember the days when you would decorate the trees as a kid and shake your presents to see what you were getting? i grew up in minnesota, so i remember making snow men and snow forts and that whole white christmas shit. good memories.
i guess my point is that the holidays are depressing...or atleast bittersweet. i think every year this time of year reminds you that you are getting old and being pushed further and further into adulthood. i do have some things to be thankful for, like friends and family and FFXII and WoW, but i honestly prefer the holidays to be over sooner, rather than later. then atleast things can go back to some degree of normalcy.
