Tis' the season.

The holiday season is gettin' closer and closer by the minute and in some ways I feel more than prepared and others I feel like running the other way.

Tis' the season to stress about finding the perfect gifts, perfect outfits and look perfect. But why? Is this not the time to just spend time with family and friends- those you care about the most. Why has this added stress come on to make sure its the best time ever, to only be disappointed by lack-luster presents, being too hungover to leave the house, snow storms and NYE's that never hit your expectations.

I am really trying to walk-into this holiday season with no expectations. To enjoy the time I hae with the ones I love and try to not worry about all the rest. Will that boy message me on Christmas Day saying the words I hope for.... probably not- those Christmas Disney Dreams are far and few between.

So it's time to make new christmas dreams- dreams filled of obtainable things:
- baking/eating Christmas Cookies with my mom
-laughing as my dad some awful dance routine in the kitchen
-ask my cousins about their new 8 million girlfriends... even though they are only in grade 8
-have some drinks with my friends, catch up and laugh
-watch awful scary movies and have my friends attempt to scare me on the way home
-enjoy the time away, relax

No expectations, no promises broken.

I am going to try really hard to keep true to myself and not allow myself in a moment of sadness make mistakes I will only regret moments later. We cannot have all we want in life- some things take time and I know the universe has a plan for me.

So here are some photos of my holidays over the past 4 years 05-09. Let's hope that the '10 holidays bring some great memories.

I hope this weekend gives you some prep for the holiday season- laughs and joy. Till next time.
