[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 612541, member: 2196"] I like the holidays in general, and this year it's especially nice since I am finally out of that five year long depression I was in. I am back to decorating for every holiday again. I bought some cute halloween stuff for the apartment, and exactly a day after halloween was over I bought some thanksgiving decorations and put them up. I am looking forward to getting more Christmas stuff. My favorite is the lights. This year, since our apartment has a balcony, I would like to decorate it with lights, as well as our tree. I am going to shop for decorations at the 99 cents store by our house like I usually do. I hope they have cute Christmas stuff. Holidays are fairly easy for me, since we have always lived in small apartments so we have never held a holiday at my place. We usually go to my mom's for Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Christmas Eve is a quiet night spent at home with the kids, and I allow them to open one gift. For the past five years or so my mom has been holding an annual holiday party at her house. She usually has it about two weeks before Christmas. Everybody invited brings their favorite appetizer, and we usually do a white elephant gift exchange. This year my mom decided to draw names for gifts instead. On Thanksgiving day we will draw names and then bring a gift for the person we picked to her house for the Christmas party. I am looking forward to the party this year, which will be held on December 14th. My mom also bought myself and her some tickets to a holiday church luncheon being held at the Hilton hotel on December 7th. I am looking forward to that as well. Of course since I work at a school I get the added perk of having a whole two week Christmas vacation, and I am definitely going to enjoy my time off. I like the holidays and I'm always a little bit sad when they are over, except for the added stress of spending extra money on gifts. That part I am glad only comes once a year. Everything else about the holidays I really enjoy. [/QUOTE]
