If I don't get anything for Christmas, that's honestly fine. If none of my friends or family get me anything, I really don't mind. Because just giving stuff, going and finding things I know they'll love is all I really want to do. The gift of giving is really getting to me this year. I'm just so excited about getting people stuff. It's not the thing itself, but thinking of what I should get them, what they'll appreciate, something they'll know took effort, thought, and love. Obviously, I can't post the presents for my friends on here (since I have at least two regular readers who I'm getting presents for), so I will post what I got my parents.
Going by age...
I got my dad his favorite Beatles' album on vinyl at this little record store in Monrovia. It's an original and my pride and joy gift so far. He has no idea what's coming.
I got my mom a very expensive, very nice iPod Classic case to go with the iPod Classic my dad got her. That's going to be exciting too. Especially since it will keep that thing protected.
I got my brother David a Beatles' tshirt. It's blue and he'll love it because he loves the Beatles more than anyone I know.
And, finally, I got my other brother John a Cookie Monster tshirt. He loves cookies. He loves Sesame Street. Perfect match? I think so.
Tomorrow, I'm going to Downtown LA with my friend David, which will be lots and lots of fun, I am sure. Tuesday, I get my friends' presents, which will probably be one of the highlights of my week. Wednesday, I wrap my presents and clean my room. And clean my room. And clean my room. Thursday, I deliver my presents to my friends. Friday, Christmas! It's just me and my family for Christmas dinner (sweatpants at the dinner table FTW), so we'll have a great time. Friday... ohhh Friday. What will you bring?
I hope you all have a very, very Merry Christmas.
Love,
Emily
