i’m so glad that our family decided not to celebrate xmas with gifts. there’s gonna be only a delicious lunch, and that’s it.
hate to get nervous among the thousands of other nervous gift-hunting people in the malls. that’s why a few years ago i was creating presents by myself, weeks before xmas, and i could get all the necessary equipment in peace. but finally, 2-3 years ago my mom and i were able to convince the other part of the family that gift-giving is unnecessary, so there won’t be a rush. the other reason of not-giving-gifts is very simple: during the year we sometimes buy small presents to each-other without any occasion, and anyway we buy everything we need to ourselves. so there’s no point in giving some useless thing and pretend it to be wonderful.
the only thing i’ve to figure out is what to cook, because i like that part - and that’s what i’ve time for.
