Christmas is Right Around the Corner

It's ironically funny and works out perfectly that my color scheme pattern on my blog ended with a red font  since my last blog is about Christmas being right around the corner and all my thoughts and opinions about the holidays. 

I love Christmas! 

It is my first favorite holiday. (Halloween is my second favorite)

I have already finished shopping for five of the most important people in my life, only two more people to shop for.  The mall was a mad house.  I lack patience when it comes to waiting in lines or walking through mobs.  That was the only aggravating thing, but I found some great presents and can’t wait to see the looks on my family and friends’ faces when they open their gifts!

I love the beautifully decorated trees and the fresh smell of pine and the delicious ,warm, soft cookies when they come straight out of the oven.  My favorite cookies are chocolate chip cookies which my mom makes from scratch and these amazing nuts with jam cookies which are a family recipe.  I always tend to sneak in the kitchen and steal a couple extra cookies when my mom isn’t looking because she usually likes to save them for Christmas day. LOL

The houses look amazing and so lively with all the lights.  My favorite are the regular color lights because the colorful lights look really tacky and cheesy.  I also love when they are shaped like icycles because that’s really classy and elegant looking. I love the christmas carols as well.

It is also wonderful getting together with family and friends and seeing how happy, loving, and generous people get during the holidays. I am going to NYC with my family to see a show and walk around Rockefeller Center which is a tradition of ours every Christmas.

I am really looking forward to this month off because I am going insane with all the enormous amounts of homework I have been getting in every class.  It’s too much to handle and stressful.

I am also not going to lie when I say that I can’t wait to get the clothes I picked out with my mom, for Christmas!! Call me materialistic, but I love receiving presents just as much as I love giving people presents.
