Christmas! Gifts! Parties! Etc!
redglasscurls:
The only bit of christmas that I am ok with starting before December is gift-buying. I have a pretty large immediate family and a growing ring of various in-laws and people on my lists, so I get started shopping in early November just to give myself a chance to think of something really good for each person. Half-assed gifts are not worth purchasing.
That said, anyone have a working copy of mario kart for nintendo 64 they want to sell me? Nowhere around here has it and ebay can kiss my ass.
(I want to put it in an Xmas stocking for Chris)

Manda, I'll have to look when I get home, but I'm pretty sure I do.

That's funny... I have the exact opposite problem. My mom would be happy with a bottle of lotion and a new pair of slippers, year after year. My dad has really eclectic, specific tastes and is a terrible liar when he's disappointed (on the upside, though, when you hit it just right, it's really gratifying).
I'm at my parents' house for Thanksgiving, and we're not going to be here for Christmas. My parents have a baby grand and an upright piano, which I really miss when I'm away (having taken ten years of piano lessons). So last night, we broke out the Christmas carol book, and my dad, boyfriend, and I jammed for two hours variously on piano, piano, electric guitar, violin, drum, and harmonica. Family and music are my favorite parts of Christmas.

Improvised whiteboard advent calendar! Decorated with random postcard from Italy, a marker and my kickass art skillz. This and a tiny figurine, as well as an advent candelabra or whatever the hell it is called will be the only signs of Christmas in my dorm room :/
(May be improved if I can be bothered to go downtown some time and find some proper Christmas decorations, but probably not.)

I'll be far far away from home for the first time for christmas.
Also, there will not be any snow and when I go pee-pee, the toilet flushes the other way.
I will feel so very lost.
And all I want for Christmas is you. :mrgreen:
