Nearly time for Thanksgiving here in the US and then a fast ramp up to Christmas. This year, of course, is very different from years past, but the holidays are coming be it Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanza, or another significant holiday for you at this time.

1. Have you started decorating for holidays yet or are you going to skip it this year?
Right before I saw these questions, I thought I should get my Christmas cactus out. Otherwise, no, I have not started decorating. I may not decorate because we are moving, current date unsure.

2. Will your gift buying be more local or online this year because of restrictions?
I'd like to go up to Pickle Barrel Trading Post one weekend, because I like it and maybe I'll find some interesting gifts. Otherwise, going to be mailing gift cards to the fam.

3. Will you be doing something ‘extra’ to try and give this year’s celebration a bit more sparkle?
I had not even considered anything to that effect.

4. No parties this year, but how are you reaching out to family and friends to wish them well?
I'm invited to Sarah's small family gathering, as I was last year. Otherwise I'd be home alone for Thanksgiving. I can't travel to see my own family for Christmas either, so I'll prob spend it with hers as well.

5. Do you believe in Krampus? If you don't know who it is, follow the link.
I'd not even heard of it until a few years ago.

I must say, I kind of felt like [livejournal.com profile] ewanspotter in that tonight felt like dinner on a Tuesday, but cooked at home, and with presents opened before and after. This is sad, since that's not what Christmas is, though the family being together part is big for me. One positive: as much as my sister can drive me insane, she does have some redeeming qualities. I can't remember the exact example at the moment, but something funny did happen today.

Present news: I got my flute! I had asked for one for my birthday, and long story short, didn't think I was getting one after all. Well, my last present felt a little familiar as I started to unwrap it, and sure enough, there it was. Yay! I even remember the scales, though I'm quite rusty. My brother jokingly told me to play Ave Maria, and I was able to figure out the first few notes. I don't know how much practice I'll actually get, since I might be too self conscious to have my neighbors hear me play. That, and I need a practice book.

:D

Note: I did not go out for coffee today! I made some instant stuff at home, to drink with the blueberry muffins I made. Oh, crap, I did go out for coffee, sort of. I had to take my sister somewhere, and we noticed McDonalds was open. People have been telling me their iced coffee is good, so here was my chance to try it. It was a little too sweet for my taste, and I think it's full of non-dairy creamer. Wait, I use n-d creamer all the time at work. Bah, whatever.

I'm putting up my scant Christmas decorations while I listen to classical Christmas music. :D It's officially the Christmas season!

Pictures to come (maybe).
