The Holidays!

I am so excited for the holidays. I think a big reason is because I am off school and do not have to stress over homework, projects, papers and lesson plans. I just love getting to relax and not be stressed out over school. I also love the holidays because a lot of my friends who are away at school come home, and I get to spend time with them. I just finished helping my mom decorate the house and put the Christmas tree up. It was a lot of fun and I like decorating because it makes the house look festive and happy.

Another reason I love the holiday season is I get to shop. I love buying presents for everyone. There is something so special about spending hours finding the perfect gift for someone and giving it to him or her and watching his or her reaction. I am not going to lie; I also love the holidays because I get a lot of presents too. I have already picked out several things for my family and friends to give me. I actually started shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving. I picked up a lot of presents for people and I got a lot of great sales. I also plan to get more Christmas shopping finished after this semester is over.

I also love New Year’s Eve. This year my boyfriend and I are going to Ocean City, like we did last year, to bring in 2008. His parents own a really nice, like $725,000 condo on 59^th Street that we are going to stay at. I am really excited this year though because I am finally 21 and am able to go out and celebrate. I think we are going to go from December 29^th to January 3^rd. As of today, it is one month until Christmas!
