xmas season in review (megapost)
i miss 3 week xmas breaks...
[the color of our fake lil xmas tree]
*sigh* another christmas season has come and gone...it was definitely a lot more quiet this year both at my aunt's and at home. of course family time is still a great time but i miss the bigger family gatherings. a quick flashback to last christmas:
my aunt's--when my cousin from germany visited
and back at home with the padre n broham
and back at home with the padre n broham
this christmas...

>>>>on presents
so this year i didn't have to buy as many presents as i did last year...but i was super stressed out up until when i went to my aunt's on xmas eve around 3 because i still had some lingering work and i had all these gifts to wrap. but you know what, i still came to town bearing gifts (uh..i still have some of them..oops) ;p
and in terms of the receiving end, i got a bunch of random little gifts that i adore--i think at this point in my life (same as last year) i can't really expect anything big until i get a serious bf/husband so i never have high expectations for gifts during xmas. it's just fun to see what i do end up getting =) for instance, my brother asked me what i wanted for xmasand i said surprise me. he argued back saying that he didn't know yadda yadda. and i just told him he has to practice now because he'll have to have good surprising skills when he gets a gf later on. so he got me this hickory farms cheese and sausage giftbox thing, which i LOVE (it's so damn delicious). but i just realized that he didn't get it because he knew i loved cheese but because the damn box that it came in had the word 'surprise' written on it:
