christmas time is finally just around the corner. it feels like only yesterday i was hustling around a busy boutique trying to help maniac customers find their "perfect" gift for the special someone. i am so thankful i am not working in a specialty retail store like my previous place of business anymore. the crazed customers, lengthy hours, and tense co-workers can really suck the life out of you and definitely drains the excitement of any holiday spirit.
it's a weird feeling getting to experience the christmas fever for the first time in a long time. by this time last year (or any year before last) i would be stressed, exhausted, and dreading whatever tomorrow would bring. not this year. no, i get the breathe this year. drink up the chill and thrill this time of year can bring. i get to just be during this time. it has made for a much nicer lindsey, that's for sure.
also i haven't been forced to endure christmas music since the week before thanksgiving until now.... i have been able to choose my own insanity based on my temporary emotions and what else is on the radio. seriously, i've said this many times before, but i just don't think retail is good for anyone to work in (especially during the holiday season) due to the consequences it can have on one's mind/heart/feelings.
because i have been able to enjoy this holiday season on my own time, i have a few things that i can already call favorites, or perhaps what is to be looked most forward to. and they are as follows:
favorite songs thus far
michael buble - i'll be home for christmas
dean martin - baby, it's cold outside
hallelujah by whoever sings it in the most haunting manner
things i'm looking most forward to
christmas decoration sight seeing with the fam, or at least with benjers
the nutcracker (televised or rented)
watching scrooge with my family and benjies... a family tradition
watching a christmas story on rerun all christmas day!!
hot cocoa in the right hand while walking around the square with my left hand attached to ben's right hand..... this is a must sometime soon.
k, that is all for now.... the later in the season it get's i'm positive i'll have more updates. until then.
