To be honest, the holidays this year have felt not much different from when I was going to school. I still managed to procrastinate my shopping and quite frankly have not been able to get into the christmas spirit. I know what you guys are thinking...BAH HUMBUG you crank! I thought this was going to be a fun and lighthearted post. But seriously, in college I was so wrapped in studying for finals the holidays really just passed by and this year I don't have finals to study for, I have a job to get done. I was actually under a lot of pressure this past week trying to get projects done before I took off for my week of vacation. So yes, I was one of those people who procrastinated on shopping and did some last minute damage online and by the way, online shopping is the way to go! No lines and there are always coupon codes if you look hard enough! Back to my holiday work woes...um yeah, again not much different experience than when I was in college. But maybe this is growing up, maybe this is how the holidays feel when you are an adult? Holidays just pass by without feeling the christmas magic we grew up with as kids. As adults we are so busy to stop and really embrace the holidays instead of just going through the motions? I don't know if this is all true, but I am damn sure to try to make this holiday as magical as possible...I really don't want to wake up the day after christmas and feel like I missed it...but you can see how we can get so busy with life and forget about what is really important, right? I think I need to take a look around a little more and enjoy the company I have to spend christmas with; because missing the holidays sounds like missing a piece of my heart and to enjoy and embrace this tradition we do every year. Go and enjoy your families pretty girls, go and soak up your time off from school and embrace the people around you because we don't want to let this holiday season pass by without us.
Xoxo,
