Christmas Spirit
December 22ndChristmas season brings out the best in some?
So i went to Nordstroms today to return something...and yes i bought something for myself. I guess this Christmas i have just chalked up as very very strange. I have not bought one gift for anyone. Not one single gift. That is b/c i am broke but normally i find a way. I love giving. It is my speciality and this year i will just have to give late. (side note: i usually organize and buy for each and every family member. Each grandparent, cousin, uncle, aunt, not to mention mom, dad, sisters. Then i have my sisters pay me for it but i do the leg work) I normally always use the money my grandfather sends me for gifts anyway but have yet to recieve that check! ??? Kind of wondering. So basically it is not that i am selfish that i bought myself something at "nordys" but that i desperately need clothes for work.
Ok so the reason why i initially got on here to post a blog is to say one thing and one thing only! I am oh so grateful this holiday season to not hear those damn bells from salvation army. I walk by them in previous years and each and every time i feel guilty b/c i don't put 2 pennies in there...i mean what is 2 pennies going to buy for 1 and for 2 well i guess i could drop some quarters in there.
I take back that i didn't buy anything for anyone......!!!!!!!! I contributed this year to a family in need that my co worker sponsered. I bought a little boy a pair of jeans and a shirt from Old Navy. Made me feel good. Really it did.
