I love this time of year! I like to pick out presents. I REALLY like to wrap them. And, of course, I love to give them. I love the lights and the decorations. Thank goodness for pre-lit artificial trees. I mean, first off, it's impossible to perfectly string lights onto a tree. Second, a real tree would look real dead by December 25th…at least if I'm the one responsible for it. I can keep the tiny humans alive, but not so much any kind of plant. Obviously, there's some great music. I love setting my ringtone to TSO "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo." The baking of obscene quantities of cookies is quite fun. Then there's all the parties and the food. December is pretty fantastic.
The absolute one (okay two) things that drive me crazy when Christmas comes--Elf on the Shelf and the Christmas shoes song. Also, the hippopotamus song. EOS has already invaded my Facebook & Pinterest feeds. It's just creepy. It's like the Christmas version of a clown. Not cool. Really, how can you not be creeped out by this?
Things I'd like to do this season? I'm hoping I actually get a chance this year to drive around and see some lights. Maybe hit up the Chickasha Festival of Light, which I've never been to. Also, I want to go skating on one of the outdoor rinks. We'll see if it actually happens.
This week has been kind of weird. I usually try to work 3 nights in a row, so I can be on a semi-normal schedule for part of the week. But I worked Sunday & Tuesday night, and I'm on again Friday…then on call through the weekend. It's been kind of nice though! I've been able to do some things I don't normally get to. I got to go out & eat a real meal with a friend one night (I hardly ever eat meals anymore…I snack all the time…like a small child). And, bonus, there turned out to be some live jazz band music happening. Score. I'd like to do some fun things tonight, but the weather could be problematic.
I hope you all are having a fantastic week! Stay warm!
