I'll Be Home For Christmas

ravensweptThough I much prefer "Carol of the Bells". With TSO's "Christmas Eve in Sarajevo " as a close second (which uses CotB as it's base).
But yes, apparently my parents wish to see more of my face, and are willing to fly me home for the (newest) holidays. It is an isn't really unexpected, I knew my parents would probably offer to do, but still it's nice to know that they did. I hope there isn't still a metic shit ton of snow there. And it's probably cold as hell. We're talking in the negatives until 10 in the morning, and then it's just a little over freezing.
I feel kinda bad though, because for the third Christmas in a row I won't be able to get presents for anyone. And it sucks, because I inherited my mom's genes of liking giving gifts. It's not a compulsion, but I do greatly enjoy finding things that people like, enjoy, and want and being able to give it to them. And just because of life happenings, I haven't been able to do so for far longer than I'd like.
But it is what it is. I can only do so much, and worrying about it won't change what I have no control over. Hindsight is helpful, but it won't help me move forward right now.
Oh jesus the dog just farted. Oh dear lord, it's lingering! NO! No, don't come closer! Go away! Oh, oh god, please go away.
Well, at least I'll be able to continue my tradition of seeing how fast other people get annoyed when A Christmas Story gets turned on as often as possible; it happens a little faster every year. I'll probably get in a least two good viewings, and then tune in off and on the rest of the day.
I'll also be staying past New Year's, so, with as many friends as my mom has, I'll most likely end up at someone's house for a party of some sort. I'd be really surprised if I didn't, my mom's group of friends get together at least three times a week, and they all work together on top of that. So that'll be interesting, to say the least.
Which'll give me time to think about resolutions and such. What I want to do with the new year; you know, besides have a much better one than this one.
Well, that's not fair, this year had a few bright points. One major one. So there's that.

Yes, thank you iPad for forever altering the state of technology. And period jokes.
