Back then when I was a kid, this season was a happy time. Secret Santa, little gatherings with friends, actually enjoying the company of family and of course gifts. But lately, the whole idea of Christmas feels a little stale and a huge obligation that we just want to get it over with, the sooner the better.
But there is something about this season that makes me want to do two irrational things out of the ordinary:
1) Stay home all day, eat all the comfort food I find and watch T.V. while pondering what I want to do, and then end up not doing it in the end. All this and being a super hermit and not talking to anyone what so ever.
2) Go out all day and spend money. Literally, all day.
Irrational why? All I do is eat eat eat at home, and then when I go out all I do is spend spend spend and it is hurting either my bank account or my well-being by eating everything in the fridge.
Sure, through out the year, I do these things once in a while, but around this time, I find myself doing one or the other in some way every day until the holidays are over. Today is number one. I don't know about tomorrow, I think it'll be number one. Unless someone finds me and wants to do something, in which I am very vulnerable to saying yes to any activity outside of the house (except yard work. I hate yard work). I almost said yes to an invite to a club, but I caught myself because I hate going to clubs.
I'm going to look up some recipes to cook, I feel a lazy number one day coming on strong tomorrow.

Omg it's the same for me. Of course. Yesterday was number one and I wish today can be number one, too. My thigh and butt hurt right now.
Aww I wish you love love loved Christmas like i do, but i haven't bought jeff or Noah a present so maybe that is why :P it not about food or presents but it is. I dunno eat fruit hula hoop while working! lol that will help, dumb as hell but you might get some tips for being the crazy dealer
It's hilarious how after this post, the next two days I go out and spend money like a biottch.
