Whoever wrote the song "It's the most wonderful time of the year" needs to die a horrible and painful death. I am talking knives, acid, snake pits, torture.
Normally, while I am not the largest fan of x-mess, I enjoy buying presents for friends and family, which makes me enjoy the holiday a little bit more. I am an extravegent gift giver, my famly has never had much money so I enjoy buying them the expensive gifts that they would never expect to recieve, watching their faces light up. I bought my mother and her husband a trip to disneyland one year, things like that.
But this year, oh this year, no, not happening. I am barely going to make rent and I am going to recieve help with that from my grandparents. I am working all these small side jobs but nothing that is bringing in much money. We draw names and buy a present for someone in our family, outside of buying gifts for the 'rents and siblings; I just returned from the hell that is the mall on x-mess eve eve to buy a pair of fancy slippers for my grandfather whose name I drew out of a hat and the entire time I was there I could not wait to leave, not just because I despise malls but the fact that I could not shop around and buy my friends and family all the gifts that I want to buy them. I know it is materialistic and everyone understands that they will not be recieving presents from me until sometime in late January but it is something that I enjoy doing, So bah humgug!
On a happier note, many friends are in town for the holiday and it will be wonderful to see all of them and tonight is PopRoxx at DNA Lounge which is one of my favorite parties. Bored tonight in SF, come on by, more info is located here: DNA Lounge.
Happy Chanu-Holi-Kwan-Mas!

I say bah humbug to everything but when I see the looks on my family and friends' faces when I give them gifts. That's my favorite part of this whole craziness.
