I bought a tree.
A real christmas tree. I haven't had a real tree since I left home about 7.5 years ago. I've had those 2 foot fake ones all this time and somehow it never really felt like a holiday when they were all lit up. Last night, it was hard to deny what month it was, even though it was about 70 something degrees yesterday & being the wimp I am I almost turned on my a/c in my truck. (The cat calls were bothering me when I had the windows down. Stupid unemployed bastards.)

The cat loves the tree. The ornaments she loves even more. I've taken to hitting her on the head with a roll of wrapping paper when she gets one in her clutches.

I haven't finished my x-mas shopping. I wanted to be done with it yesterday, but I just had too many people. Even though I said I wasn't buying gifts for my loser addict brothers, I did. I just felt like a fat jerk in the store & I thought, I might be the only person who buys them a gift this year. And well, I've always gotten back more in my life than I've given-regardless of my attempts to convince you otherwise.

Besides I'm the oldest, I have to set some kind of example to my little brother.
I got him some cool gifts. I can't wait to go get him.

I have to turn the lights on the tree on and stare at it for a few more hours.
