Thanksgiving is this Thursday, and I'm super excited. I get to leave school tomorrow morning and not come back until Monday, leaving me the rest of the week to be blissfully carefree. As soon as I get back next week it will be crunch time, as over the next two weeks I will try to write essays, study, take exams, and pack to come home. But for this week, I'm not thinking about any of that. I'm eating dinner with my grandparents and uncles, aunts, and cousins on Thursday, and then Friday we're decorating for Christmas. Decorating the day after Thanksgiving has become a tradition with my sister. Growing up, up our mother never let us decorate until about two weeks before Christmas because we always had a live tree. Now that we have artificial trees, we deck the halls from November until January 1. And I absolutely love it.
Christmas television is another thing I'm looking forward to. I've already set Elf to record this weekend. God, I love that movie. I love it to an insane degree, considering I watched it for the first time two years ago. But I quote it ("Francisco, that's fun to say"), I sing along with it ("baby, it's cold outside") and I laugh at it (Buddy drizzling syrup on his spaghetti). I'm also way into the classics--Rudolph and The Grinch. They're going to be even more fun this year because Nathan loves to watch cartoons.
I can't wait to go home! Happy Thanksgiving!
