It seems like every year after Halloween the next thing on everyones mind is Thanksgiving. Then right after that Christmas, then New Years. The last part of the year always goes by so fast for me. But I really do love this time of year.

I heard a Christmas song on the radio today!!!!!!

Im thinking :"I cant AFFORD the Holiday season this year!" =_=

MonarC · 11-01-2007, 12:06 AM

Yeah that sounds like my hubby. I was like ok so how much are we gonna spend this year? And he was like how about nothing. I said yeah in your dreams.

Ireneparalegal · 11-01-2007, 12:11 AM

I already told my girls "Email me your Christmas lists."

That's not it at all, I enjoy carefully showing those important to me how i feel and I dont worry about the price, so long as I can find JUST the right gift. My problem is 6 months of unemployment, thus a lack of hard funds.

MonarC · 11-01-2007, 12:19 AM

Yeah. See my hubby is the saver and I am a spender. So we try to meet in the middle. I really don't want a lot maybe a couple hundred to spend on friends and family and a hundred for my son. Then maybe one good gift for each of us and I'll be happy.

I love the season because there are many things to anticipate, so it does go fast. And I've always liked the pre-Christmas atmosphere.

Oh god...every year it gets harder and harder. My dad never wants anything, my mom already has every kitchen appliance known to man...I love buying gifts, but I hate having no clue. I don't like disappointing people.

I'm going to be working non-stop over thanksgiving. I'll have plenty of money, but I probably won't spend much of it, as I've never really been good with gift giving.

I have no idea what December will look like as far as my working schedule. If my mom comes, I'll probably only work my main job, and apologize to my second job, saying she's only here for a short time an I can't take off my main job.

This will be the first holiday season I've ever spent like this. But whatever. It'll keep my mind off the empty seat.

But whatever works, do it.

I'm looking foward to the Holidays! Thanksgiving,Christmas,New Years, & then my birthday! I love this time of year.

MonarC · 11-01-2007, 11:54 PM

I love it too. I hope it snows this year. It did last year the day before my son was born.

Yeah, I get that. I don't live where my family is (six states away) and last year I sat by myself on Thanksgiving and about 5pm I decided I'd try to find myself a Thanksgiving dinner. I also lived out in the middle of nowhere, so it wasn't easy. I finally found one at a restaurant that was about an hour and a half away. It cost $30 but I carried it out and brought it home and ate it on a TV tray in front of TVLand. It was delicious...but...

Looks like a repeat this year, except I'm not in the same state as last year and now I'm 8 states away from home, but at least there's lots of restaurants nearby so maybe I won't have to go so far this time.

Our local Oldies station started playing Christmas music non- stop today. I love the music but couldn't they have waited until AFTER Thanksgiving?!

To me this just cheapens the holiday.
