Holidays

Any of you aqua's have a holiday ritual or thing you always do during the holidays by yourself that you feel is quirky.

I tell people not to buy me presents and I go and buy myself the stuff I want while it's on sale with the money I saved not buying things for other people that they may not even want.

Sounds selfish but if you really think about it your saving you and your family time spent on returning gifts you don't want or need.

Besides there is no gift you can buy that an adult will really appreciate that won't break the bank anyways. Furthermore, I enjoy time with my family waaaaaaay more than the commercialized superficial exchange of Christmas presents everyone does.

I start browsing through recipe books & seeing what new things I can bring to the table (literally) cooking-wise.

When I'm in my "cooking" zone, where I'm trying to be creative & do my own thing, just leave me be!!

When I decide to go to the grocery store to get a thousand & one things (that we probably don't even need/won't even eat), just shut up & don't argue, ok?! lol

That's pretty cool and actually makes a lot of sense lol.

That's amazing my scorp sis cooks too so I just hover about any friends that cook because the end result is so rewarding 🙂

every year wnen its snowing and im at my parents for either thanksgiving or christmas, I stand on the same spot under the same street light, watching the snow come down and i always get the same feeling, which is hard to explain, it just feels beautiful, its my moment of wonder

That's awesome has anything happened at that spot? or is it just your special place?
