   Bite me
Time: 5:15 a.m.

*Laughs* I went to Walmart the other day with my mom and found a Happy Bunny t-shirt themed out for Christmas. It was red and covered with snowflakes; the Bunny was wearing a Santa hat over one ear with these words at the top. I had to get it. Needless to say, my mom was not pleased. But oh well...

I think I'm starting to dislike Christmas, like a lot. I don't know. It just tends to make me more depressed every year. I mean, you got the crazed customers to deal with
--inside and outside of work--, there's never any close parking spaces at the mall; there's more out of state drivers who have no idea where they are going on the road; there's more 'homeless' people begging for money on street corners, the Salvation Army ringing their bells, who make me feel guilty that I can't spare any money, and who could forget the greedy customers, who are constantly trying to get discounts for every little thing with coupons that are weeks old or just plain making a fuss over how expensive a dvd or somthing costs. I'm just ready for this holiday to be over with...I'm not a kid anymore and I know the truth about Santa, so...The magic is gone from Christmas for me.

But I'm trying to make it a little better. Watching movies like Love Actually, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, and The Christmas Story. I even baked cookies, especially for tonight, which is one of my favorite things to do. I even tried the cookie cutters I got from Walmart. I got Christmas ones, like snowflakes and gingerbread people and Christmas tree, but I couldn't resist getting Halloween ones too. :D However, there was a slight...mishap with the peanut butter cookies I tried making from scrath. Apparently, I put too much salt in them. Yeah, they were bad. One bite and all I could taste was the salt. I loved the look on my mom's face when she tried one...

So how is everyone? Is everyone out of school and enjoying your break I hope? I don't have any plans for today, except to appear at a family function for my mom's sake. She's been getting more depressed since my grandmother's death. I just don't know how to help her anymore. Except helping with chores, staying in school, and taking her out to do stuff...

I've got to cut myself off now. My meds are kicking in and I can barely keep my eyes open. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, and if you are traveling, please be safe. *Hugs*

Later,

Harley
