It's the first official day of Winter Break for USU students. While many are probably sleeping themselves out of finals week insomnia or holiday party madness, I'm not slowing down. Now that school is out of the way for a few weeks, I can focus on Christmas. And focus on Christmas I have. It's really hard to think that it's the holidays when every project, paper, and test is due at the first of December. Being away from the fam certainly doesn't help either. Now that I'm home with the tree and goodies, it finally feels like Christmas.
Minus a minor blip, all of my shopping has been done since Thanksgiving. Yet, I spent today shopping. You see, my dad and I have a deal worked out. He gives me a list of things he wants to get my mom and sends me out to find them. I return, show him what I've found and tell him how much he owes me. It works out pretty well since he works during the days and nights are crazy and I'm sitting home doing nothing but reading. I can usually get a few extra bucks out of him if I wrap them as well. Did I mention, I'm not a very good gift-wrapper?? Anyway, it's kind of become a tradition and this year is no exception, leading me to spend my day hunting down gifts.
Does anyone else worry that people won't like their gifts? I have major anxiety about this every year! I find something I think they'd like, would look nice in, or could use, and then they don't like it or don't use it. I've tried to stick to gift lists, but sometimes that's difficult when you have a student budget. Christmas isn't about the gifts, it's about love and spending time with family and friends, but I still worry EVERY YEAR!! Please tell me I'm not the only one that goes through this.
