Christmas season

My all time FAVORITE time of the year. It even tops my birthday and thanksgiving. This year I had no problem finding gifts for everyone and I was planning on spreading out the spending of the gifts from thanksgiving to just before christmas so that my wallet wouldn't see such a huge hit all at once. Good planning but thats not what happened. I have bought all my presents with the exception of one because it has not come out yet, and I am feeling it now that I have no gas and little money to fill it. The problem with buying things so early is that I have to keep it a secret and that is really hard for me when I know they are going to love what I got them because, like my mom she has been asking for the same thing for ever. I want to give her the gift right now.

I went into work the day after thanksgiving and they had christmas music playing. It mad my day go back alot fast because I really don't like my job. This way I was able to sing and have some fun. This is the season that everyone seems to be in a little bit of a better mood and I love it.

Thanksgiving

I love thanksgiving it is one of my favorite holidays. This year I did the same thing that we have done the last three years. We go to my aunts house and we bring the pie. It was a great day we all ate way to much, all except my son. He wouldn't eat the turkey, ham, potatoes or the cheesey potatoes. However, while I was in the bathroom my cousin and my parents fed him pie, which he loved. I didn't realize they did it untill afterwards. It was a very relaxing time. I got to see my extended family again. We don't get together very much, so it's nice to catch up with them after so long. My sister didn't come this year, she decided to go to her boyfriends house. Every year she goes there she expects thier thanksgiving to be like ours and it never is. Last year they put the turkey in when it was frozen and they thought it would cook in two hours. As you can guess it didn't so they didn't have turkey. This year they were going to have dinner at two so she did not come to my aunt's because we were also eatting at two. This year she was once again disapointed. They got there and didn't eat until five, and there was no pumpkin pie. She came home complaining about everything that happened and I told her... that she needs to be thankful for the time she gets to spend with that side of the family because she never sees them. If she wants thanksgiving to be like at our aunts she should have it at her house instead. I think I got her thinking about next year, in her new house.
