28 days before Christmas!
Oh! Wow! Time flies, the last time I checked, we still have 65 days before Christmas, now, less than a month!
So, every Christmas I always have gifts for my niece and nephews, mom and dad, and awkwardly funny giveaways for my siblings, anything cheap that would crack up some humor as we open presents on Christmas day. I’m not Santa Claus, and surely not yet a millionaire. LOL! Yah, not yet, who knows someday I’ll be a millionaire through crypto. It’s free to dream, just let me be, haha! Anyway, the most important aspect in gift giving is thoughtfulness and more cheers!
Last year, the holidays were a bit off due to heightened restrictions in traveling due to Covid19 pandemic. My brother’s family was not able to come for Christmas, and we were not able to spend the New Year in my grandmother’s place in the province. Praise God, it seems the world was able to move on a bit from health related turmoil because stringent measures have been lowered, traveling is now allowed, and the kids are no longer prohibited outdoors too. Guess, we will be spending our usual family tradition during the upcoming holidays.
Since my brother’s family will be coming home with his 3 little musketeers, the house will be jam packed for sure. My mom has been busy sorting stuff at home for a couple of days now, and tonight she finally told me of her plea. She asked me to buy affordable blankets, a bedsheet, and pillows because the ones we have will soon give up, lol! We rarely buy things like these, though I am fond of pillowcases, but yes I realized the pillows we have for our guests are no longer fluffy, it's the same old smelly pillows my 14 year old nephew used during his bed wetting days- imagine, haha!
My brother’s family will all stay in my sister's room, and my sister will move into my bedroom those days. So, now, I really need to clean my room and get rid of some clutter, to free some space. Oh well, I think I need a day off from work for this!
Then, the Christmas party. Fortunately, the hospital I worked with announced that there will be no company Christmas party yet this year. Thank God! Because I don’t like going to their thematic parties, it takes time and effort on what to wear, then there are departmental presentations that I also hate because having both left feet means I am simply uncoordinated. However, our department will be having one on December 11, oh no! Why so soon? And, I am in-charge of the games and also helping with the food, guess this would make me busy too.
That would be it!
P.S. I want to go somewhere too before the year ends, I'm desperate for a break. Sigh. Perhaps this could wait for next year. Yes, maybe early next year. No, surely early next year, lol!
How do you usually spend the holiday season prepandemic? Any plans?
Thanks once again everyone for reading and thanks to my sponsors for renewing, that really made my day. wink**
