This Christmas is going to be great, I can feel it. I made my love a stocking. He loves it. I thought I did a very good job on it too. Too bad I don't have time to make every family member one this year. We have some very late Christmas shopping to get done. Ehh. I hate being around million people. I'm not a big shopper to begin with! I usually run in and run out. I hate trying clothes on. I don't try on tops unless I absolutely have to. But anyways I have to get my mother, mother in law, brother in law, nephews. I'm a bad procrastinator. Always have been. I get it from my moms side of the family.

At our Christmas we are going to have Turkey and Ham. But I like the green bean casserole and potato salad better than the meats. Because in my house ALL we have is TURKEY! I have learned a lot this year. Last year and just about every year before I never really understood the true meaning of Christmas. I never enjoyed being around family as much as I do this year. I cannot wait to start a family of my own. But I have to do a few things for myself. I need to start a career. This year I've learned to be more thankful, to pray before every meal and look to God for guidance and wisdom, to give help people that need help, not be so judgmental about people I don't even know.
