Christmas just sucker punched me in the face

I don’t know about you, but I really need to get going here with the whole “Christmas Spirit” idea. Christmas just sucker punched me in the face this year, because I didn’t even see it coming. The last thing I remember was thinking that Christmas was coming up pretty soon … and now it’s only 3 days away! What happened to the last month? I’m happy that all my shopping is done, but now all the presents are just scattered about my place, some half wrapped, most still in their shopping carriers.

I think this is the least excited I’ve been about Christmas before … but since I’m hosting the family dinner this year (I’m expecting 20-25 people), I really need to get in the mood.

Tonight after the PT job, we’re having a college Christmas reunion of sorts, with about 18-20 people meeting up at a pub. It’ll be fun times. Some I haven’t seen since we graduated last year, but most I see on a semi-regular basis. It’ll be the first time my friends will be meeting the new guy I’m seeing, so that’s always a little scary. Also, I suppose it’s been kind of obvious, and I was sort of keeping it on the DL, but I guess I can come out and say that I am dating him now. He’s great. :)
