Things That Are Awesome About Christmas
- Twinkly lights
- Presents. they are fun to get, fun to give, and SUPER DUPER fun to wrap. Isn't getting a nicely wrapped gift just the best thing? It hardly even matters once inside if it's got pretty wrapping...
- No school. I was deprived of this last year, because working retail at Christmas is a total un-holiday.
- Getting to see people you don't get to see very often.
- Hearing "Carol of the Bells". I am not really big into Christmas music in general, except for this song.
- Egg nog! I have heard that there are some people that don't like egg nog, but I cannot bring myself to believe it. Except for in Matt's case, because he doesn't even like perogies so clearly his judgment is questionable, foodwise... *
- Getting to wear warm-and-cozy Christmastime type clothing.
- Fudge, shortbread, butterscotch confetti and that crazy-delicious chocolatey/brownsugarry/almondy thing that is always at Jane and Jason's.
- All the deceit and secretiveness that gift giving entails (especially on Christmas Eve)
- the seasonal calendar store in the mall
- new mittens
- TV on DVD
- deviantArt prints (any one of these, for example) or anything else to hang on my walls
- books, books, books
- earrings
- magazine subscriptions (are awesome on three levels: it is fun to get things in the mail that you actually want, you get to read them and then after that you get to cut them up)
- the Married to the Sea "I Hate Voting" tee shirt.
- a new schoolbag
- a straightener (because in the winter it sucks to shower in the morning but at night I am always to lazy to dry my hair so I wake up looking like I have been electrocuted. I would buy one for myself if I weren't so incredibly cheap)
- a new purse
- a pretty pencil case
- beading supplies
- a bus ticket from Regina to Edmonton, or Edmonton to Calgary, or Calgary to Regina
- a Polaroid camera (except that even if I had one I cannot afford film)
- socks
- a locket
- stuff to collage with
- good pens
In completely un-Christmas related news...

Hawksley Workman in March!
And the reason why I don't like egg nog or pirogies is because I found in the bay of pigs in cuba and was captured and they tortured me egg nog and pirogies. Thanks for bringing up THAT painful memory clair!
(I am a nerd.)
Clair, you're awesome. I love perogies. I have never tried eggnog (shocking!). I guess we're not a nog (totally a word) family. I am excited for classes to be done, because then it's all a happy tumble until Christmas. Finals never stress me out as much as they should anyways.
