Happy St. Nicholas Day

Everything´s still a bit chaotic here, but I wanted to wish you all a merry St. Nicholas Day and lots of stuffed socks and boots! 😀
What do you think of Christmas this year? As for me, I can´t get myself to percieve that „christmassy feeling“ at all. Maybe it´s the stress. Although I´ve already moved out from my parents, there´s still so much to do and to plan. It´s not easy to get into a complete new way of living, and though I like the life here it´s a bit hard for me to calm down and get some peace of mind. Christmas and similar things just don´t seem to come to my consciousness. Somehow this year there´s so much that makes me feel…aggressive about Christmas.

  1. Christmas markets. I hate to feel masses of people running around me .
  2. Christmas shopping. Same here. Too many people to have fun while dawdling through the shops. Sometimes I wonder if there are too less cities or shops.
  3. The weather. I BET you people from the south of germany have lots of snow right now, but as it is for the north…rain. LOTS of rain. I hate it.
  4. Radio stations. I remember last year when I was almost unnerved because they played „Last Christmas“ about 10 times a day…since November and until February. But this year: nothing. I think I only heard one poor christmas song until now. Besides of that, it´s only the same boring chart music as ever. WHERE´S RUDOLPH?!
  5. The illness. So many things to do, so little time. I planned to send letters and greeting cards for St-Nicholas Day, but there wasn´t any opportunity to do so. I plan to make a certain present for my boyfriend and parents, but the flu robbed away a big ammount of time. Argh.

But, as I must admit, not everything about christmas is bad. I apologize for doing surreptitious advertising, but there is this really nice Gundam Wing themed Advent Calendar Siraa sets up every year for the fans. <3 And guess who partcipated in this year. It was the first time in…let me guess three years that I did some bigger artwork in the GW-fandom. But it TOTALLY flashed me again, so I….*shuts up* That´s a secret. ;P But enjoy the artwork:

Merry, scary Christmas

Mood: tired
Listening to: The Corrs – Would you be happier?
Current obsession: eating cookies ö_ö

Would you be happier if you were someone together?

Would the sun shine brighter if you played a bigger part?
Would you be wonderful if it wasn’t for the weather?
You’re gonna be just fine!

Merry Christmas, everyone!! <3<3 This is gonna be a very short entry, because I don´t wanna spend christmas eve at the pc completely. BUT I wanted to greet everyone whom I might have forgotten in my attempt NOT to forget anyone on this special day. XD

Unfortunately, all the pretty snow had gone this morning, so it didn´t feel like christmas at all and no letters or packages had arrived (which is okay; My presents will be sent after christmas, anyway. *drops*)… so I felt a bit lonely this morning and therefore called a few people, which lit up my day. <3
In the afternoon, me and my parents went to visit my brother and his family for tea and christmas cake. It was fun, I always like it when the family´s all together and everyone´s laughing. My brother almost smoked us all out of the house by playing with an incense pot….felt like exorcism, arrrrgh. XDD!! I also made lots of photos which will be posted on a different occasion.

The giving out of the presents was nice and quiet though. My parents always think of little, well chosen things to treat me, so it´s always exciting to sit under the christmas tree and unpack those gifts. <3 I GOT A HELLO KITTY PAJAMA, W00T!! <3 It´s black and made of satin and I love it. <3
In fact, the giving out was a pain for my father. He´s suffering from strong twinges in his arm and groin, but doesn´t want to go into hospital over the holidays, because he thinks that no competent doctor will be there. This is so freaking me out and gives me a slight bitter feeling within all this joy and merry atmosphere. Hope he´ll be going to a doctor soon.

Anyway, now that everyone in the house is asleep, I´m just sitting here and will go to bed very soon, too. I´m still a bit melancholic over that movie I saw in TV a few hours ago, The Last Unicorn. Geez, I love that movie so very much. It belongs to christmas like the tree and the jingle bells and all the stuff. <3

Have a nice christmas evening and happy holidays, everybody! :3
