It happens every December. Jenny gets all weird and excitable about the fact that Christmas is coming. You see, Jen is obsessed with Christmas. When I first met her in August a few years back, she was in present-clad pj’s singing carols and skipping down the hall of our dormitory. But hey, I get all weird over Halloween so fair is fair, right? Well, that’s what I tell myself anyway.
It wouldn’t matter so much except for the fact that I hate Christmas. Well, “hate is a strong word, but I really, really, really don’t like [it].” It comes from having a dramatic family and a history with Jehovah’s Witnesses. I guess it’s not all bad. I mean if I didn’t feel pressured to go broke buying gifts, to listen to my relatives bitch, to pretend Christmas is about Jesus when only like 2% of the population actually remember that, it wouldn’t be so bad.
But there are a few things about the winter season that I enjoy. And in order to keep Jen happy and attempt to feel that joyful Christmas spirit, we still have some merry goings on at the house. I have gathered a collection of photos of said merriment and there is more to come too I’m sure. Cheers!
