I love the smell of winter air. You could be blind, deaf, retarted, and have no feeling in your nerves, and still be able to smell the holiday season. The feeling of giving the pefect gift is great, but even better is when you get that perfect present (like a new car). CAN'T WAIT!!!

I like the holidays...but it snows here then, and I HATE snow. So it all pretty much evens itself out to any normal time of the year for me.

i love the holidays. especially now, most of my cousins and family don't really get together all that much anymore. i'm a very family oriented guy and when we all get together it is way TOO much fun. we bust out tequila and just have a fun time. something about family makes it that much better. i love the holidays.

Fuck winter...i mean i love snow and everything but seriously people cannot drive in the shit to save their lives. I live in MN and we got our first actual snowfall today after about 4 hours of sprinkling rain. No more than 3 hours after it started to actually snow some guy almost t-bones me by running a stop sign. Then of course i get the finger and the horn, uh HELLO did you see the guy next to you STOPPING and the other 4 cars STOPPED at the signs?

But I LOVE winter, i cant wait to go snowboarding and snowmobiling.

And its only getting hotter. giggidy giggidy!

[Heep]

I'll be flying on Christmas. Crossing the date line too, so I'll have a 41 or so hour Christmas.

T'will be interesting. I hope they give out presents on the plane

I'm tired of the commercialization of Christmas, so no, I'm not that excited.

Wagga Wagga, largest inland Australian city! You may not have beaches, but you've got the dog that sat on the tucker box, 5 miles from Gundegai!


Holidays = family time. I think we should go with 12 thirty day months, and have a 5 day (6 in leap year) holiday period in between Dec and Jan. Celebrate how you like.

After Thanksgiving i will be very pumped. Ill get a month off from school, and will get to sleep and hang out with all my friends

[Suislide]

i am excited for the holdays for the following reasons:

1) my birthday. (december 20th)

2) snowboarding.

3) giving and getting great presents.

4) time off school.

5) new years.

6) seeing family and friends.

i am NOT excited for the holidays for the following reasons:

1) COLD!

2) hearing the same god-damn christmas songs over and over and over (working in a mall makes it that much worse)

3) emptying out my bank account.

4) a) working so many hours, b) dealing with grumpy/rude customers (happens year-round, but the christmas rush seems to make them that much ruder)



so there-fore, i've got more to look forward to then not. i'm pretty stoked for this years, because my aunt, uncle and 2 cousins are coming over from Japan. it'll be the first time i've ever met my one cousin, and the rest of them i haven't seen in about 3 years. also last year just didn't feel like christmas for whatever reason...i wasn't home when my family decided to decorate the tree, we didn't decorate any of the rest of the house or put up exterior lights...and i guess the whole thing just came and went way too fast. when i woke up christmas morning, it just felt like any other day until we started opening presents and stuff. this year i hope i can psych myself up enough about it that it actually FEELS like christmas.

i can't wait!

Wagga a city? Big country town is more like it.

Love the idea of the 13th (holiday) month.
