bonstrosityNo holiday cards from me this year, because food is more important just now lol.
However.
On this coming Monday and Tuesday?
Where will I be?
Yes. That's right. I know you guessed it.
You mean you didn't? What?
Okay, okay.
I shall be working at Netflix.
With my mommy!!!
Don't know if it will actually be from then on, but I'm definitely working those two days. And hopefully I will continue to work there part time (part time works nearly as much as full time there).
I don't want to get all too excited yet, because yeah, if I don't keep working from week to week, I'll be right back where I am now, and have been for, oh, three billion years. However, when my mom told me? A huge weight lifted off of me. There are no words to describe the relief of having a job. No words.
And now for a Christmas meme (Sorry Yule/Kwanzaa/Etc. celebrators. lol.), gakked from![[insanejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/ij-userinfo.gif)
belewien.
1. Eggnog or Hot Chocolate? Egg Nog FTW!!!!! Yummmmmmm. Not spicy egg nog either, just plain ole egg nog.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Wrap them AND put them under the tree. If there is a tree.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? Colored lights, absolutely!!!
4. Do you hang mistletoe? Nope.
5. When do you put up your decorations? Er. Depends on the year.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish? Turkey. And chicken and dumplings. And Sweet potatoes. And rolls. I have no single favorite lol.
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? I don't know, I really liked them all (except last year, worst christmas EVER. And then that one christmas when I had to go to the emergency room as I had a nasty virus.).
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I so don't remember. I was pretty young though, I figured out he wasn't real. But I got why it was awesome to believe in him. And even when I was older and knew better, there was still this little thought that 'oooo! Santa!'
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Hell yeah, that's when we celebrate Christmas. Well, when we would go visit my dad's side of the family. Christmas Day is spent with grandma. Let us not get into my feelings about that.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? Ornaments, lights, garland.
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? DREAD. FUCK YOU ICE.
12. Can you ice skate? No.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? Probably my laptop computer either of those christmases. Yeah. LOVE. (So. Spoiled.)
14. What’s the most important thing about the Holidays for you? I don't know anymore. Probably just being with my mom and seeing her get over-stuffed on the food, lol.
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? I don't know what it's called, but it's a chocolate mousse and whipped cream and nuts and pie crust. It pwns.
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Watching A Christmas Story.
17. What tops your tree? I think we have an angel... not sure.
18. Which do you prefer giving or receiving? Both, actually. Giving makes me feel at ease with my soul, and receiving makes me go 'weeeeeeeeeee!!!!!' and be giddy.
19. What is your favorite Christmas Song? Grandma got run over by a reindeer. Seriously. I loved it since I was a kid, so none of you assuming it's a new love. Also, O Holy Night and Rockin Around the Christmas Tree and Carol of the Bells and Do You Hear What I Hear are faves.
20. Candy Canes? YAY!!! Who else sucks on them until they're into a fine, sharp point??? Tasty AND fun!
21. Do you feel Christmas is too commercialized? Duh, yes. But whatever.
22. Real tree or artificial? Artificial. Real trees are a pain in the ass.
23. Do you put lights up on the outside of your house? Nope, as we are in an apartment. And I just don't care.
24. Do you do a Christmas Dinner or Supper and who cooks? Mom and Grandma cook. I sort of help out. But grandma irks me too much, so I probably won't actually really start learning anything until a time when I'm away from her.
25. Is your family the everyone unwraps gifts at once sort or do you do it one gift at a time as the others watch? Everyone unwraps them at once.
26. Do your pets share in the festivities? lol, if we had pets, I'm sure they would. I wouldn't be able to resist bringing them into it.
L O L. Can you tell I have grandma issues? *sigh* She made me irked today and now I just... I really don't care about Thanksgiving at all. Because hell, I can't do anything right. And then when she get snarky with me, I get snarky with her, and get completely sour. So bahhhh.
But yes. NETFLIX. JOB. ME. HALLELUJAH. :D
