"The greatest thing is just to love, and be loved in return."
Bought Moulin Rouge and Princess Diaries yesterday. As you can see, Christmas is not a big thing at my house and never has been. Generally it is me and my sister exchanging gifts. I ask my parents what they want and they always say, "Just do well on the PSAT/SAT/SAT II and we'll be happy." How am I supposed to work with that? I so long for the commercial Christmas--twinkly lights, decorated tree, roaring fire in the fireplace, everyone cozy together with soft look. Instead I have: drafty house, undecorated everything (save our entertainment center), me on the computer. Yup, this is my family Christmas. Eh, don't feel sorry for me. I get presents a lot from my parents--generally I get anything I want within reason. But sometimes I have to wonder whether it is better to get presents all year round or big pile at Christmas?
