Well it's that time of the year, do you get a real Christmas tree, or plastic tree? Do you go out of town or stay home? Do you try to get presents for everyone or just a few people you know will give you something in return? A few of the frustrating questions we ask ourselves during the holidays! Lol
I know I was getting mad, Dad told us "If you don't get the den cleaned, we won't get a tree." so I worked on it at first, then when I wasn't getting help I was getting mad, and finally everyone else pitched in (other than my sister), and a week AFTER it was cleaned, we got our real tree, lol.
I'm still upset 'cause they went and got it without my sister and me this year, but oh well, we finally got one! And we have it decorated now, lights, strings, ornaments and presents, lol.
We haven't had lights outside the house in a few years, but we decided to go ahead and add some this year, so now the front yard's decorated too.
I feel kinda bad 'cause everyone else we know have been sending us Christmas cards and what not, but we haven't sent any ::coughs:: hopefully that will change hehe.

I personally LOVE the holiday season!! Mostly I love to see my family and get and send Christmas cards (or hannukah, whatever!) I make collages out of all the cards I get and then laminate them and use them as wall hangings for the next year!! I love it!!! Sounds like your family has a lot of holiday fun too, my family will get a live tree as well but we always get it about a week before christmas so it wont die before the day!

I do too, I'm still debating on what to draw for certain Christmas presents, I'm thinking Star Wars 'cause everyone in my family loves Star Wars (as far as I can tell) but I want them to be different, dangit, lol.

It gets a little too hectic for me, I'm glad when the actual holiday's here, but it's the getting there and aftermath that can be a bloody nightmare.

Oh yes, I can't stand crowded malls but there's hardly ever a time when malls aren't crowded, even during non-holidays lol.
