I Love Christmas

I have my Christmas decorations up, I've had my Christmas Music (I have 470 Christmas songs on my iPod) going since November 24th, I've already started a little baking, Vader and I have already had part one of the Christmas wrapping party (she wraps my gifts in exchange for pizza and baked goods) and I've finished about a third of my Christmas Cards. Oh how I love this time of year!

And this unemployment thing is quite handy at Christmas. While I'm seriously job searching now and it takes up a hunk of my weekdays it still doesn't take up a full work day, doesn't involve an hour and a half round trip commute and doesn't include all the extra hours needed for end of the year projects. So I'm actually on top of the cards and the presents and all this year. Normally I'm frantically shopping at the last minute and sitting around at my aunt's or my parents' house on the 23rd finishing the last of my cards.

This weekend my folks are coming to town, in fact, if the flights work out, they should be here in a couple of hours, and I'm hoping to get in a little Christmas fun with them. Since I'm not living with them anymore, Mom and I don't really get to bake together or decorate together or any of that. So we're having a mini baking party tomorrow afternoon. Vader should be coming over to do more wrapping and maybe other folks will show up as well. We'll see. And we're going to check out the Grand Central Terminal light show as well as the Holiday Market and do a little sightseeing and shopping. I think we're also going to hit S'mac too, as it's tasty and Mom's been wanting to check it out. The main reason they're coming is for TARCON on Sunday, which will be fun, but I'm mostly excited to have them around for holiday fun time.

The Christmas Dork is in full effect!
