This huge amount of snow finally has put me in the holiday spirit. Ada's amazing list of Christmas things, inspired me to make a list of my own.
~ I really enjoy shoveling. It allows me to hang out in the snow without being the weirdo who sits in a lawn chair in her yard while it's blizzarding.
~ Wrapping presents just happens to be my favorite pastime. I would rather wrap presents than sit out in the snow. (Because of my rips my wrapping abilities have been decreased slightly. It takes me 40 more seconds per gift.)
~ I can wear my slippers to get the newspaper. In the summer it's strange but near Christmas it's all fair game.
~ I love it when all the branches sink down with all the snow. It's gorgeous. I hate it when all that snow starts to melt of the trees and you get wet melty snow all over your head.
~ There are always baked goods during the holidays. In fact I just made brownies.
~ My feet keep on shrinking, so now I can wear my Mom's warm L.L.Bean boots.
~ Icicles. I completely forgot about how good icicles are. It's like free italian ice.
~ I have snowflake earrings.
~ Giving presents. I don't know why but it is so much fun, probably because I get to wrap things.
~ Christmas tree air. I picked out the tree this year and it is so nice. It smells like everything lovely in the world.
People are continually trying to break my Christmas spirit. All day in school I hear. " Oh no, I hate driving in the snow." "I don't have a windshield thing to dust of snow." "It's wet." What do I have to say to this." Get a snow duster thing for your car or walk, you all live two minutes away anyway. Also, yes it's wet get some boots and shut it. " Everyone is just trying to ruin my holiday cheer, but I will not stand for it. It is still snowing. It's supposed to stop around midnight, too bad because I do not want school tomorrow. But even if there is school I can wear my snowflake earrings, so no problemo. Sorry all for the rant about the complaining kids. I am going to eat a brownie!
