all i want for christmas is YOU!

so for some crazy reason, i've been having a really hard getting into the christmas mood and all, and it was sorta kinda starting to worry me.

it's not like christmas was always HUGE in our family, we always had a Tree and a couple decorations, and made sure that ALL THE FAMILY were together on the 25th, but that was about it. putting up decorations doesn't excite me (i envy those who love it), but food does! maybe my non-chalant attitude towards christmas will change when im married with kids & feel more crafty and little kidlets to help feel the mood?

so this year i wasn't looking forward to it, & christmas shopping wasn't the same and i wondered why?? maybe because im not at home anymore and all my family won't be together for christmas this year, and it's just been a really rough year that im so exhausted and would've just wanted to sleep through it all - till today!

out of nowhere (well, it must have been somewhere) i wanted to listen to christmas music (to be added to my blog soon soon) & put together christmas packages, buy a little tree for my apartment etc! it was insane... now im all smiles and so ready for christmas 2008 :)

what's exciting though, is that the novelty of christmas (wanting lots&lots of presents to open, shopping etc) is wearing off and i just want to be with family & friends - that's what matters. well the Pooe's will be in Egypt, Paris & Spain for christmas this year and the Mkhize's will be in Durban, and my mom will be here in Joburg with me... it'll be a mommy -daughter christmas this year :) and im totally looking forward to it!
