[Kokuma]

I made (at least I tried to make) all the holidays shopping in Saturday, visiting the capital of our province cause there is more stores and large marts. Running from store to store checking my shopping list and being like; "OMG OMG that <insert shop name> closes in 15mins AUUUGH".
I was so tired in Sunday. I felt like orange with all the juice squished out... 

Yesterday I wrote all the season greetings cards and that took over 2 hours cause I wanted to draw little elfs and smiling stars to every card with golden and silver glitter ballpens and decorated them with tiny holidays themed stickers. And again I was tired after that...egh.
Now I need only to mail them.

Then there's still so much to do. Do some shopping (about 3 presents still missing). To do large from-floor-to-roof cleaning operation in dad's place when I arrive there around 21st day and to buy Holidays decorate flowers (good that I'm in gardening studies college - that has own flowershop).

It's same thing every year. I'm not going to take stress with all the things I have to prepare for holidays, and every time I end up being like dried out battery in the time between 25th day and New Year...*sigh*

awww... It maybe hard at first 
but its gonna be very rewarding at the end
Hope you have fun Kokuma!!!

Yep, Jiro's right, that is really rewarding in the end. I actually make people Xmas cards to de-stress me, hahaha.

Currently at school we are finishing a metal lamp by Friday studying for the last exams, and getting everything ready for India.

I quite like getting things ready for Christmas, although I don't often buy people presents, I prefer making them. I'm sure the stress will go in the end, just think of the nice enjoyable Christmas after it!!

aww. that kind of takes the fun out of things. but it will pay off in the end!  the same sort of thing is happening with me but i have to work up money for the gifts and thats kind of hard with out a real job. and the stress of school finals and these concerts im having is putting me in a place that i just want it to be OVER! but it will be over soon and just to let you know im right there with ya!

I haven't done any shopping yet... I'm pretty sure that it's going to end up being the year of the Target Giftcard for everyone

My mom's going through this also, between working 10 hrs a day (only getting sundays off right now) and cleaning (i'm helping with that though) she has had no time to shop and snapped on my, my dad and brother in law tonight! She just wants to get the shopping done (which is being done online right now...). I just hope she doesn't have a nervous breakdown.

All the rest shoppings done. I bought scented candles and candlecups to my 16yo cousin, fluffy nap blanket for dad and this one type honey-bath-bodylotion stuff to my aunt.

I don't have money for buying myself DS or GCube game. Duh.
I've got to wait until sales start after Christmas and go get copy of used Dragonball Z Budokai 2 for Cube if I find one 

Yesterday I cleaned whole house except kitchen and bathroom. Today I cleaned them.

Boy I'm all tired...
