Christmas Doesn't Feel Like Christmas This Year

Merry Christmas Everyone!
Christmas isn't what it quite used to be... It really doesn't feel like Christmas this year....
As a child I remember going to the neighbour's with my Grandmother when she was delivering presents, and we used to have such nice neighbours. My Grandfather would order Chinese, and we would have it together on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day we would have supper at both of my Grandparent's house sometimes, and other times just one. I would get to see all my Uncle's, and Aunt's, my Mother's siblings too. My other Aunt, my Dad's Sister still comes down to see us.
It all fell apart though after my parents separated, and one of Grandfather's passed away, and my other Grandmother was placed in a Nursing Home. This all happened relatively around the same time too.
It hasn't snowed much, it has mostly been raining....
I love tradition, it's repetitive, yet beautiful, and keeps people together...

Christmas Eve Day

Started early in the morning because I forgot to turn off my alarm from the day before when I worked open/set-up. I stayed at a friend's overnight so we hung out for the morning.
My mother came over for our traditional supper of Chinese food started by my Grandparents, and I really miss having them around. I then spent some time with my mother which is a rare occasion.
I later tried to drop off gifts, but someone wasn't home, the other friend was. I stopped by another house to drop off my other gifts, and they invited me in. We talked about work... Oh well what else can we do, we all work there. It was a great time. We drove around, and looked at Christmas decorations in the town, and they dropped me off at home.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Concentrating On The Good and The Bad

It has been quite the week.
I got home from work Monday, turned on my computer, and the first thing I read made me cry. My good friend's house was flooded, so bad they had to be evacuated by boat. She had so much going for her too, and it just crashed to the ground in an instant. :(
I celebrated my friend's birthday a few days early on Friday. We did Karaoke, and it was so much fun, I love karaoke.
I hung out with a friend yesterday, and we watched Disney.
My neck has been sore for the last few days, and it is driving me nuts.
Now I am off to wrap Christmas Presents.

A Good Week With Christmas Shopping

It has been a pretty good week, and I am still off until tomorrow night.
I am suppose to be doing something for another artist but I hate to be rushed, it really stresses me out, you cannot rush an artist. But I finally got it done.
Wednesday after work my awesome friend came over, and did gel nails for me again. Correctly this time, last time I was her guinea pig candidate, and I hated them, I love them now. They are black tip gels. I went to Tim Horton's with some co-workers who are dating, and it felt so awkward... Tim's has debit now. I tried the new Candy Cane doughnut, and hot chocolate, the doughnut was boring! I liked the hot chocolate, it had a peppermint flavour to it.
Thursday morning I got up early to go Christmas shopping in the city with my father. We only went to Wal-Mart, EBGames/Gamestop, HMV, and Chapters. I finally found Harevst Moon: Grand Bazaar again, and did not pass up on buying it. I bought my friend's birthday, and Christmas present, those two things are only four days apart. I picked up Arathas: Rise of the Lich King, and that was it. Later on in the day I got hit with a killer migraine.
Friday I went to the city with co-workers, and it was a lot more fun. I picked up the Cataclysm expansion at Wal-Mart. I found a new hat at Aldo Accessories, as well as an origami crane necklace; I find my favourite accessories there all the time. Old Navy really has some good deals on, I managed to find a Secret Santa gift for work. I also picked up a Christmas present with someone we were with, and they didn't even know it. Then I almost dropped it on the floor, and it is breakable. I picked up a present for my dad, and another co-worker. We went for food at the food court, and I grabbed Chinese. I look forward to the fortune cookies, mine said I am next in line in my firm for a promotion. We all laughed. There was this guy at one store his hair was half purple, half black, I thought it was hot. We were in the city for seven to eight hours, and it was a girl's day. I have a lot of my Christmas shopping done.
I love sleeping in on the days I can because I really need it because of work. So today my friend, and I watched The Beauty and The Beast, which is now my favourite Disney movie, and Vampires Suck. I also am getting her to play World of Warcraft. It was a fun day. My brother had his birthday party today, and all his little friends kept coming into my room. There was cake, and I love cake, a lot.

Negative Thinking

Life has been falling apart since September. I can't help but think negatively.... It's all I know, I also constantly hate myself.
Work is hell every single day.
I did have one fun day though. I help decorate at a friend's house, because they didn't call me to decorate at work... We had great fun.
Also went Christmas shopping with Dad. Well I know what my Brother is getting for Christmas, Dad got it before now. My brother is so spoiled, must be nice.
I literally work my butt off now to get what I want, and when I was younger I didn't have a job, my parents wouldn't give me money, yet they give my brother money all the time.
