Last year was my first year celebrating the holidays while living with my boyfriend, but our second year celebrating holidays together. This year is the first year he has stated that he is looking forward to the season, which is so exciting for me! Last year, I was the one that wanted to cut down a tree and decorate it, and I did most of the decorating myself. Last year we didn't have much money to spend on gifts and the holidays were stressful. Also, we always have to run around visiting everyone and never get a chance to relax so it's tough. But this year we plan to map out when we will do what and try to reduce some stress on ourselves, perhaps even having a holiday party and thusly eliminating the need to go see everyone on the actual holiday date.
I have officially started Christmas shopping. I don't know what I am getting most people, and some people will be getting just home baked cookies. But I do know what my boyfriend is getting, what my dad is getting, and that's about it. Can't tell ya just yet...sometimes they read my blog. But I will tell you when the holiday is over!
Of course, the holiday season actually begins with my anniversary with my boyfriend, then Thanksgiving, then my birthday, then Christmas, then New Years all within two months! The end of the year is always pretty crazy...but fun and exciting too! :) Can't wait!
