Why the Christmas spirit can be so much like a spring cleaning...

[lhune]

 Pffff, 10 minutes break please.

After seeing many lights and christmas trees in the neighbourhood I felt very much like getting my own tree installed (yes, it's a fake but it looks very good I think ^__^) I hadn't considered the 'cleaning' I had to do first o_0;;

I wanted to put my tree in a corner that was until now taken by bags a little table, magazines and many bags containing various unused goods. OMG what time it took to get through all the stuff: what to keep and what to throw away. The first I had to find a place for and the second gad to be sorted, paper and plastic sorted... I'm nearly done but several hours has gone by tidying the place and the last bit is the hardest =.=

Next time I just want to throw everything in a huge bag and get rid of it
(not that I'll ever do that, I'm far too afraid I'd lose something important to me ^^;)

BUT my little tree with little lights stands next to me and various presents lie beneath it... I'm happy :D

Oh, I do know what you're talking about. *sighs* My Christmas decorations won't happen this year, I guess. *looks at messy flat*

I didn't decorate last year, much to the annoyance of my mother. She insisted I ought to have something o_0 I said I'd go out if I wanted to see Christmas decorations. In the end I did put some random Christmas balls on various places in my room to 'soothe' her (I know, it's the wrong word but I wanted to consider her opinion and hoped she'd stop to nag after this... which she did by the way)

Something different, your icon is wonderful!

LOL! For me, it's always my sister who's pestering me about decorating. :P I told her I just have to look out of my window to see the blinking horror. :)
Glad you made your mom happy! :)

Yeah it is, right? *swoons* As always, feel free to snag. :)

[lhune]

Haha, there's always someone in the family isn't there. My mother wasn't entirely happy but she let it be ^_^

One would think it should be your own choice whether to decorate or not :/

But this year she's very happy (up to now) I do hope it will stay that way.

Haha! I can totally imagine you needed to clean up to make room for decorations! There'll be plenty of decorations in the living room, so I don't feel it's necessary to clean up *my* room ^^

And presents under a tree; whether it's a small one or a big one -> it's the best thing about Christmas!!! : D

For once I'm ahead of my parents, they've cleared the place but the tree has yet to be bought ^___^

Presents are always so much fun indeed,
a tree without presents just looks so 'empty'.

[dark_kana]

*grins* I can so imagine you having to clean up your room to place your little xmas tree. ^^ And yay for presents underneath it!! :-)

I'm probably going ot buy some more presents after work today. *ponders* Yeah, that should work...

[lhune]

Really, the things I found stuffed away in that corner *perle de sueur*

About the presents, do you know already what you're going to buy?

[dark_kana]

I can imagine. I think I would be worse... ^_^"

Ano ... Yeah, partly. I think I know what to buy for my collegue. I have a list of what my grand mother would want, but I really need to check it out first. *huge sweatdrop*
The only ones still being a problem are Lily and JonJon...

[lhune]

Lily and JonJon...
I don't know about JonJon but I might 'help' for the first (I'll send you a mail)

[dark_kana]

Yeah, JonJon is, as usual :p, rather difficult. *sighs* Oh well, I'll find something I hope... ^_^"

*hugs* Thanks!!

Don't make me curious ;-) :P
