However as I was wrapping gifts and I started downloading Christmas songs, I slowly got into that holly jolly mood.
It was than I realized that this year, I wasn't excited and looking forward to getting gifts. If I got something that was fine but if I didn't that was okay as well. I was more looking forward to giving gifts this year.
I couldn't wait to see the look on the faces on the people who I was getting gifts for. As I wrapped the gifts I could just picture the expressions of joy that I would receive once people opened the gifts I got them, and THAT'S what put me in the mood for Christmas.
Christmas is in three days and I honestly am filled with anticipation of giving away gifts! I worked hard and put thought and effort into these gifts and Im sure they will be appreciated.
Another thing I'm looking forward to...is listening to Christmas music with my siblings and my roommate while making gingerbread houses or cookies and drinking egg nog on Christmas eve. This is something my Mom started like my junior year of college and we just stuck to it and I'm actually looking forward to it!
I am looking forward to spending time with my family, Jonathan and his family and just being around those I love and care for and those that love and care for me.
I guess, this is a more mature Christmas...an adult Christmas. After all, this is my first Christmas with me being out on my own and not living with my Mom and siblings.
Anywhooo, Im excited!
And it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Yaaayyyyy!!!!
Merry Christmas everyone! And in case I don't post again until Jan 2012, have a Happy New Year as well!
