XMAS INDEED

God doesn't talk to me, I am not religious. I don't talk to God, I am not psychotic. Still, have a soft spot for 'Baby Jesus' wording. And that is why I am excite about all the Xmasy joys.

Traditions are to keep. Last year got a taste of Swedish Xmas and Xmas present taking-over games and Latvian Xmas card making. Since my Swedish friend is rich and fabulous, she won't be on the rock and my Latvian friends are poor and loving, we will be drinking mulled wine, cutting the paper, gluing things on top of stuff, drying it with a hair dryer and hopefully manufacture a decent Noel card. Made my first Facebook event in honer to this 'think with your hands' undertaking.

About to spend over €200 for a dinner in expectation that a fat, old man dressed in fake, red fur doesn't get stuck in a non-existent chimney and bring me presents and bunch of little presents too, which are not wrapped in the same wrapping paper mum uses. Had a lot of fun and dear laughs when making a menu with a bubbly welcome to start the fun off. A sneak peek: Starter is called 'She's too fat for me', followed by the 'Some like it hot', 'Blame Hollywood'- main course and big finish with the 'Darlings'.

Finally started thinking of gifts for friends and mum three weeks prior, instead on a Boxing day. All the gifts will be perfect with a thought of every person. Can't wait to see their faces when they open the complicated wrapping that I'll probably spend more time on than on processing the whole gift idea. Each present will withhold a 'Do Not Want'- complaint form. In case of dislike, you can get a hug or air from my lungs-where I'll just blow.

As for actual Xmas and New Year Eve plans- I refuse to acknowledge its coming presence and happening as I am not done with 2011. No Epic shit happen yet, not that there is a chance for a miracle but it's not OK so it is not the end. Will make New Year resolutions, only coz I love to appreciate lists and won't be buying ridiculously expensive dresses as might be working. But HEY! every day is a New Year's eve! The piggy bank just winked at me! Will do the revaluation of this year though. Not excited of the end result.
