24 days to go before Christmas.

Last 31 days of 2010.

Are you excited or excited?!

Haha! Well, I can definitely feel the holiday season coming. With all the Christmas decorations, Christmas party preparations here and there, and the cool breeze of the wind, yep, it’s starting to feel more and more Christmas-y all right. (Though we don’t have our decorations at home yet, and our 13th month from the office, damn.)

I’m excited to go Christmas shopping; though I can’t yet because I’m still waiting up on my budget, and I really don’t have any ideas on what to give my family and friends. Probably I only have about two to three gift ideas for three to five people and majority are for the kids. But I’m sure I’ll be able to find something for each and everyone on my list just in time for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. At least I have a list! Though it’s not fully finished too, haha! (And by the way, I'm kind of enjoying organizing parties and stuff, if you need help, you know where to find me. I'm everywhere! :)) (plurk, twitter, fb) Though the one I'm working on is pretty challenging, haha!)

Another thing I’m excited about is family reunions and get together with friends. December has just started and I’m already receiving invites here and there to parties and get togethers! My weekends are already getting busy. But it’s always been that way during December, and I like it. :D I just hope I’ll be able to see everyone I’ve been missing before the year ends. Some relatives from the States might come home for the holidays too, and that has always been a highlight for us. It means more family gatherings, more food trips, and more fun times. :)

It’s always been a light and festive mood during holiday season. So I kind of relate how I have been feeling for the past few days to that. I am surprised in a way because even though there are upsets throughout the day, I still end up in a pretty good mood. Perhaps I could also relate it to the fact that there are certain people in this world who could brighten your day in one way or another without them actually doing anything. :) Sometimes you just have to realize that there is so much more to be thankful for than to just be pissed throughout the day. Yes, those disappointments won’t go away, but you could also ignore them and forget them. Don’t make them stay; they’ll be gone too anyway. Of course there are people who would help you appreciate what you have/had, but it still starts with your own self, almost always does. :)

P.S.
And I think it is indeed possible to love someone even though you know you could never have them. Sometimes, knowing that they’re still there for you, and you both still have the good memories with you, is enough. I commend people who’ve got a lot of love to share in their hearts. Give love on Christmas Day! Haha. :P
