Christmas Shopping
Not for presents though. Christmas shopping for food (or nomz as some like to call it) and cutlery for around 30 people.
See, this year is a bit different because it's the first year that the family Christmas get-together will be at my parents' house. In reality, my parents don't technically "celebrate" Christmas (heck, we don't even exchange presents, because you know, that's the true meaning of Christmas nowadays). However, my mom and I spent about 5 hours buying food and utensils yesterday to prepare for the event. As much as I love to spend time with my mom, 5 hours in a grocery store was not how I wanted to spend my day.
...and those 5 hours could have easily been cut down to 3, if she didn't stroll through every single aisle, look at every single item in the aisles, and ask me "What does this do?" every five seconds.
Of course, what's an American Christmas dinner without the turkey and roast beef? (Or is that Thanksgiving?) This will be our my first time trying to make those two things, so I guess I should apologize to my aunts and uncles in advance.
Anyways, I hope everyone's having a good holiday so far. As much as I am being a bitch about this, I honestly think I will get some good laughs out of this whole experience.
So, what are your plans for the holiday season? :)
My family doesn't celebrate Christmas, either. We don't even have a turkey dinner or anything... so I plan to rest up for Boxing Day xD
I hope your dinner goes well!
Other than that, I plan on sleeping, eating and going on the computer. Ahhh relaxation! :P
I hope you have a great holiday season, dear! :)
My exams results are coming out soon after or before Xmas so.. I guess I'll be living in horror then ^^ Have a nice Xmas~
p/s: I'm too lazy to type "Christmas", hope you don't mind :P
