geekchickToday is Sweetmorn, day 44 in the season of The Aftermath, 3269.
A sudden attack of "holiday season, woohoo!" just hit me. I took the Christmas carol quiz meme (I was apparently some carol I've never even heard of), signed up for a Secret Winter-Holiday-of-Choice-Icon gift exchange thing, and will probably go haul decorations out of storage tonight or tomorrow. (Oh yeah, and I bought two Hello Kitty ornaments at Le Target last night; I've long since given up on the idea of having a completely color-coordinated tree.) Oddly though, I have almost no desire to go shopping. This is...very odd, for me. Shopping is one of those things that is almost guaranteed to lift my spirits (assuming I'm not trying to buy myself summer clothes). Not right now, though; I almost dread going to the maul. Weird. Luckily I have the Bookmark File o'Doom and a credit card, I don't have to leave the house and fight my way through hordes of shoppers all fighting to get the last Hokey Pokey Elmo. ;)
On the topic of gifts, once again I'd be totally happy if people just made small donations to Best Friends animal sanctuary or the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation if they felt compelled to give me something. I can never really come up with a good way to say that to anyone though that doesn't make me feel weird; I can't help but feel like by expressing that preference I sound like I'm expecting people to want to give me gifts. I truly don't. And for those of you receiving gifts from me, please believe that they are given to you because I want to, not because I expect reciprocation from you or because I feel obligated to for any reason.
Another tangent: I really want to have or go to a party over the holiday season that involves getting dressed up. I haven't worn a party frock and heels in a long time, and I'm feeling a desire to spiff myself up for an evening. Whether I can get anyone else to go along with this idea or not, I have no idea.
