I was going to make a post about nothing of value until I realized I am trying to use this more! And besides, it's almost Christmas so why not post about related things!?
This year I am in a better Christmas Spirit than I have been in... well, quite some time! I get down because of a few things, but I'm trying not to let it really get to me too much. Not entirely good things have happened last year around this time of the year, and all the snow and yick reminds me of that more than ever, but I don't want to be a stick in the mud. This year, even though I'm dirt poor I'm trying to make the most of Christmas.
I'm pretty excited about work tomorrow, which is really weird because who wants to work Christmas Eve!? But I got my Christmas presents from Sair tonight and it only makes me happier! She got me an MP3 player and a thermos set that included both a hot and cold one! That on top of the rain boots I haven't had a chance to wear yet that my aunt got me for my birthday/Christmas I'm all ready to go! That and I get to wear my Santa hat at work tomorrow! It's only a five hour day, so it's not too bad and I'm lucky that Jake doesn't get off work till an hour after I do, so dad'll pick me up from work and take me home so I have an hour or two to get ready before we go to our Grandparents.
The only thing I'm not looking forward to is last year my Grandparents place was such a let down. I know they're getting old and I understand that there's just too many people that show up now to feed before we open presents, but last year it seriously just felt like everyone was there for the present aspect and was gone the moment everyone was done opening them. It's really disappointing because Grandma and Grandpa are getting old and we really don't know how long they'll be around ): I'd rather make the most of it and spend as much time with them as possible, which is one reason I'm really happy that my parents see it the same way. Maybe it's because they don't have grandbabies and stuff, idk, but I'm grateful.
... and speaking of the lack of grandbabies. That's another thing I can't stand! I'm the youngest unmarried granddaughter, so all my aunts are uncles are always asking questions. Buuhhhhhhh I have other things to worry about besides dating right now, and how the hell am I even supposed to meet guys I'm even halfway interesting while working in a damn gas station.
