The Holidays

Now that Halloween is over, it's finally time for all of the holidays to begin.

Pause for a second - new subject. I'm watching Miss Congeniality 2 right now. It always upsets me that Eric broke up with her. What a jerk with all those commitment issues. I like my movies with happy endings thank you...or horror movies :-)

Anyway, Thanksgiving is up next. I love food. I love turkey, stuffing and gravy. It's gonna be weird not having Krystal around for the holidays this year. She was always there. We would put her in her little orange vest so she wouldn't get shot by hunters at the cabin. My family's tradition is to make our meal at the cabin.

Then of course there is Channukah. I'll either get a few little gifts or 1 big one. We take out all of our menorah's. Believe me, we have quite collection. Some belonged to my mothers mother, some my mother bought, I got a beautiful glass one with the tree of life on it for my Bat Mitzvah, and of course there is my favorite, the one I made from clay when I was 3. We're going to have our annual Channukah/Holiday party.

Then Christmas. True I don't actually celebrate it because I'm Jewish, but since we still have traditions and my dad is christian, we go through the motions. My dad and nana haven't gone to church in awhile, because it's a big effort for nana. I feel kind of bad about not going to church with them on the rare occasions they do go, but I just feel so uncomfortable there. I always have. Considering it's based around Jesus and I don't believe the messiah has come yet...little awkward. (Lil bit about Easter - We usually go to church on Easter. Most uncomfortable part: mum and me staying in the pew while everyone else goes up for communion) But it's a nice family time. We buy a tree, decorate it. Then there's the snow. I missed that so much in New York. Along with my puppy hopping through it like a jack rabbit. She was the cutest thing ever.
And of course, the music. I love listening to Christmas songs. You don't even understand. I have 102 christmas songs and I add more every year. My favorite song has been All I Want For Christmas Is You By Mariah Carey for years. Most years it has applied to someone. Since sophomore year at least. Such a happy song...unless it's not.
So I guess at this point, you all have figured out that I'm a romantic. Not a side that I show really. Kind of goes along with my sweet side. You're probably think wait...she has a sweet side? what is this? Mostly I show it in small ways and hope no one notices!

Okay time to go to Bingas with dad! Yay!
I bet you $10 that he's going to bring Luke up again

Oh, Halloween was great! Pirates lost, but that's okay. It was still fun! Horror movies + Melted chocolate fight with Jared + Giggle Fest= Awesome!
For those of you who know how bad my aim is, I hit Jared right between the eyes with a hershey bar in the dark! woo! :-)
