Preparing for the Holidays

Yeah I know it might sound odd, but I’m already starting to prepare for the holidays.  Seriously, I’m trying to get a jump on the whole thing and actually be ready for Christmas this year.  I posted about looking for Christmas ornament patterns, but I’ve also started getting some shopping done.  Nothing extreme yet, but I’m getting there.  I still have to get through the month from hell, or as everyone else calls it “October”, before I can really get into the whole shopping for Christmas presents.

I’ll probably end up making most of my gifts this year, especially for my friends and co-workers/customers/people that come into my restaurant and just hang out. (Gina-lol).  I’m the kind of person who wants to give everybody something, even if it’s just something silly.  Unfortunately, God decided to make me a poor person and I can’t give to everyone like I want to.  So, that means I have to improvise and do something creative.  The creative part isn’t the problem.  It’s the making-it-look-like-it-does-in-my-head thing that’s the problem.  I get a cool idea and in my head, it’s perfect.  When I’m done, it’s not even close and I get frustrated and I throw it away and I give up.  Yeah, I know.  Not the best way to handle the situation, but I never claimed to be the smart kid.

Anyway, if anyone has any cool ideas for home-made Christmas ornaments or gifts, leave me a comment and I’ll check it out.  I love Christmas and I want to pass that happiness on to everyone I meet.  Whether they be in person or online, I think we should all take one month out of the year to spread a little joy and friendship instead of hate and discontent.
