I’m going to be honest and tell you that I love the holiday season because it allows me to get time off from work.  It is my chance, before the start of each new year, to be able to sit back, relax, and spend time with my family and reconnect with old friends.  I have never been one to get stressed out over finding the perfect gift for someone or which house I’m going to visit.  My holidays plans are not really plans at all, but rather “spur of the moment” type decisions because they’re based on how feel at that moment.  There have been holiday seasons where I strolled every mall in the region and others where I bought gifts online, wrapped them up, and gave them to their recipients.  My daughter always receives money and gifts, my mom gets a special gift and a crocheted item, and everyone else gets something I know they will like.  I don’t worry about receiving gifts, not since I entered adulthood.  This may be due to the fact I do a little shopping for myself when I shop for everyone else. 

Anyway, I am glad the holidays are so close.  I haven’t decided what I’ll be doing for Thanksgiving, but one of those turkeys will be eaten.  One thing I am not going to do is overeat because I don’t want to work harder when I start running again.  Don’t have any plans for Christmas either, but I’m going to enjoy shopping. 

What are your holiday plans?
