Christmas to-do

Winter means Christmas. Christmas means a million and one things to do. a million and one FUN things to do, so since we're only a week away from December we better start the planning! coz the longer we plan, the more fun we can have...right?

1. Deck the halls, the corridors, the rooms, the gardens, the anything standing still long enough.

2. Retrieve Santa's (no, the other one. ho ho ho nd all........) hat from the annals of cupboard, or wherever it was flung last year in a fit of post-Christmas depression.

3. Make sure you have atleast one red and/or green outfit. Try it on. If it doesnt fit, quit whining and swearing to drop a size by the 25th. after all, it has been a year since ur last festive burst! so get to the shops and find something nice.
If it does fit, then how nice for you Victoria.

4. Get the Noel music out from under that Ashlee Simpson CD you don't own. Or if it's too far gone burrrnnn!

5. Brush up on your lyrics. There's nothing more irritating carol-wise than being unable to sing '12 Days of Christmas' because you dont know the words.

6. Look up the names of all of Santa's reindeer. You know you have this conversation every year, and always mess up. ("No wait, we said Prancer")

7. Plan a Noel movie marathon, a cider fuelled outdoorsy event, a cake making afternoon and unplanned, completely spontaneous, devil-may-care Carolling!

8. Get your Noel cards in order. Remember Everyone! come on, it's Christmas.

9. Make the perfect batch of cookies.
9 a. Redefine 'Perfect'.

10. Do up that TREE! (dont forget the candy canes)

11. Dream up the most perfect pressies! (for others as well Ms. Hilton)

12. Do something nice for someone. You know what I mean.

13. Jingle all the Way. All the freaking Way.



And the Christmas Not-to-do:

1. Don't be a Scrooge.

2. Don't Shout, pout or cry.

3. Don't glare at people singing out loud. It's Noel, hence its part of culture.

4. Don't get put off by the inevitable spate on how commercial and materialistic Noel has become. You know you still love it. You know you still feel it, so go on and Let It Show!

ello dear Lakshmy!
Your long standing fixation and now association with 'their kind' notwithstanding, I would wish you are aware of what an insanely obsessed freak I think you are! In a wonderful sort of a way, if ever there was one!
Merry more-than-a-month-left-to-christmas to you!
Tinkle bells!

Some look upon the Holiday Season with wonder and awe,
mostly the innocent little smiling faces,
of parents that have had a break in life and have jobs.
That is the financial part,
but what about that emotional part for some,
unfortunately it brings on dread to those who have,
lost someone close to them, wether seperated or divorced,
or widower or widowress...
The ones that have financially difficulty are depressed too.
Christmas is such a different time for some,
it makes my heart ache and want to reach out to many.
I hope that all that are around that they are in the category,
of the "lucky" ones that enjoy a great, joyous festive holiday,
the way that it is supposed to be,
So fuck you, asshole.
