Just around the corner and I feel like it was just Halloween 4 weeks ago and Thanksgiving was yesterday. I have 2 present already taken care of, but then I look at all the people I still need to get things for and realized that I need to hit the stores......which I hate. I always end up buying something for myself, which is selfish....but then again, I don't have anyone buying me awesome presents so I can justify it. Plus, half the time people just say to me.....You pick it out, buy it, and we'll pay you back (which totally takes away the surprise on Christmas morning).
For example, this year I wanted to make me an Orem Tiger blanket to take to games, etc. So I cut out all the fabric, sewed it together, and tied it all by myself. My mom thinks that she is giving it to me, but really I did it for myself. hahaha don't tell her that!!!
My grandma is giving me floor mats for my new car......I'm getting an itrip from my sister in law for a Itouch that I have still yet to buy, and for my parents we gave them a new hardwood floor. Its already installed, stained, and decorated.
So my question is.......WHAT HAPPENED TO CHRISTMAS SURPRISES? The fun of Christmas morning is no fun as an adult!!! Especially when you are the youngest and your Christmas morning consists of you, and your parents. BUT......I must say this.....I have the best parents in the WORLD!!!!! And my nieces and nephews add the surprise back into my life. They are so fun to surprise.
So that Brings up the point........Is Christmas surprises designed for the innocent kids, or for those that give the present? You decided.....I see it both ways.
Anyways, I love you all and I hope that this holiday season is full of happiness and surprises!!! Its the moments and memories that make all the difference. Make the memories!!!
