krismissy things
its that time of the year again.
the true meaning of xmas has been lost in a flurry of dealing with xmas shopping, putting up trees and finding the right outfit... the spirit of xmas seems to be trying not to kill yourself, or anyone else when trying to find parking at the over-full shopping malls.
*sigh*
on the upside, there are just a couple days left till i get to go on holiday. 9, for that matter. and i cant wait.
my christmas list includes:
- spending time with my bf [who i only see about 4 times a year, for a couple days at a time]
- spending time with my family [extended family, havnt seen them much at all]
- id like the opportunity to make some cakes and tarts for the fam before going to bf's fam's place for xmas for the 3rd consecutive year. i like baking. my mums already done the fruitcakes. which are divine.
- and a silver charm bracelet / watch combo.
[materialism, you can't really escape it most of the time]
and tomorrow is the "tropical" year end function... yeah. should be interesting.
who knows what the new year will bring...

I love christmas even though we kind of get lost in all the glitz & glitter. This year I telling everyone who buys me presents to just give money which I will send to a needy family organization. That will make me feel a whole lot better than recieving another shirt that I don't need.
That's how I'm going to deal with it this year. Have a happy, dear girl.
did you draw that?! :-O it's great!!
(ps: regarding killing things, that's why i try to do all my shopping online, hehe)
hi, poly!
thanks, and happy hols!
yeah, jeut, i drew that. i love drawing. i even did some comix, inspired by you, but thats at home locked away. :) i could never be as brilliant at it as you!
online shopping is great, but then you need a head start. shipping takes a while. ^_^
Great pic, Neko.
Shopping malls at christmas are definitely places to avoid.
Have a lovely holiday.
are you going away for the holidays, neko, or are you staying in mfk?
thanks, winters, we do try.
hi, arc!
yup, im leaving the very second they let me go at the office.
flying to cape town on the 9th. driving to mfk the 14th. driving to pe the 18th. flying to jhb th 31st.
gonna be amazing...
now, if only this work week would diminish... FASTER.
The new year will bring more of the same; it'll just be crapier.
I don't understand why people always moan and groan and gripe about the commercialisation of Christmas. They always end of by saying 'oh but I love/look forward to etc'.
Just enjoy it! Sure, it's commercialised. So it everything else in this world. At Christmas, I love spending time with my family and giving presents. And the gammon - oh the gammon!
Merry Christmas, Neko!
