Christmas.
I'm going to be filled with holiday cheer, even if it kills me. Let me tell you how!
* I'm cleaning my apartment. Not just because it REALLY needed to be done, but also because I refuse to bake cookies in my (previously) filthy kitchen. And if the kitchen looks spotless, it is going to make the rest of the apartment look trashed. Therefore, the entire place is getting at least a nice tidying up.
* Soon I am going to put a pot of cider on the stove to simmer. Mulling spices will be added.
* I'm currently listening to Irish Christmas carols.
* I went out and bought the right bakeware to make pecan tassies. I don't actually want to eat them. I don't like sweets all that much. But they make perfectly wonderful gifts and I like making them.
* Soon, as the cookies bake, I will watch the Muppet Christmas Carol. Because it is my favorite Christmas-ey movie.
* When I'm done vacuuming, I'm going to cover the living room floor in catnip. My cats deserve some holiday cheer, too.
...
Of course, being the idiot that I am, I forgot one thing. I forgot to get my fucking tree. I was going to pick up a rosemary tree from Haggen's, since they're useful and look like a Christmas tree. Tomorrow, I guess. It is entirely too cold outside for walking there and getting one.
