So apparently today is November 30th, which means...well, it means it's the last day of November.
I thought we just finished the Halloween party last weekend??
This has been a crazy month, and next month is only going to be crazier. I'm getting ready to visit my family again for Christmas, and this time I'm bringing a friend with me! It's their first time going to America, so they're a little nervous but I'm sure they'll have fun.
Now is the time to get your Christmas lists finished! What do you mean, you don't have one? That you're too old? That Santa only brings presents to children? No no no no no, you've got it all wrong.
You are never too old for presents. Family members and close friends often exchange presents. Plus, it's polite to give your loved ones a few hints of what you'd like. There's no rule that your present has to be from the list, but it makes the shopping easier, yeah?
My parents still ask for my wishlist every year. It's not as long as it used to be when I was a kid, but I still put in a toy or two for old times' sake.
Does that sound greedy? I can see why some people might think so. But here's the thing: we love giving gifts more. My parents ask for my wishlist because they WANT to get me something. And of course I always make sure to bring some awesome stuff from Japan home with me every year.
Either way, now that Thanksgiving has come, we are officially in the Holiday Season, easily my favorite time of the year. And what does that mean? CHRISTMAS TREES!
Happy Holidays!
