I was very tired last night, I tried to make a post but I ended up almost falling asleep at my keyboard. I had a long day at work yesterday, not to be confused with a bad day. Although I had a woman who was clearly drunk as all hell go up and hug me, which was more than a little awkward. As I said in a previous post I really enjoy my job, and yesterday was no different. Helping last minute shoppers with their gifts is awesome, and people always seem to really appreciate it, always asking for my name. I also found out from my boss that the District Manager himself liked how I helped people, so that made me feel good, glad my positive attitude is noticed by both customers and bosses.
Speaking of not being able to help myself in terms of spending, I got my mom a set of five books from a series by Diana Gabaldon (I hope I got that right) called the Outlander series about a woman who travels back in time, and my mom loves time travel books so those were a big hit with her.
This was the first Christmas that I got to spend it with a big extended family. I moved into a new house a couple of months ago that is much bigger, so during the holidays everyone can come over and spend a lot of time with one another. We have two kids in our family, one is eight and the other is three, and their presents were piled a mountain high basically, which reminded me heavily of my own childhood. The family as a whole realy went all out to make Christmas amazing for them, and as an adult that is something I hadn't seen yet, so the big smiles on their faces as they opened up all of their assorted stuff was heartwarming. It took us a good three hours to get through everyone's presents as we took our sweet ass time. I got a lot of good stuff, mostly video games. I got Halo: Reach which I have been wanting to play a lot, Madden 11 which I need to be playing, and Gran Turismo 5 which is going to consume most of my video game time for the next year or so, as I love that game.
I hope anyone who reads this had a merry christmas, or if that's not applicable, a good holiday season.
