Holiday

It's Christmas Already Well Ladies, I am excited that Christmas is here! I am a New Years Girl, born on January 1st and for me, this is time where I freely express my love, sentimental feelings, goofy dancing and giving without apologies. Now don't mistake me, because I freely do this already, but for some unknown reason people don't fully receive and accept my joyous goofy love, random dancing celebrating them and cheerful giving other times of the year.

I absolutely looooove giving gifts. As an adult and a mom, I can finally say I understand what my mom meant all those years ago when she described her best Christmas present was watching everyone else open their gifts. I get such joy from finding the perfect item for each person. Two people that are notoriously difficult to buy for, however, are my husband and my dad. They are the toughest because they buy themselves items they want throughout the year instead of waiting to receive them as gifts!
