I know this is a little late, but I’d like to wish all of my readers and fellow bloggers a happy holiday season. I always look forward to the food and the fun. However, the holidays can also be a very stressful time of year.
Personally, I’ve been busy moving out of my apartment and preparing to move halfway across the country for my job that starts in a couple of weeks. On top of that, I decided to help my parents clean out their house as part of my Christmas present to them. You can find their names in the dictionary under packrat. Combine that with the fact that they haven’t moved in over 30 years, and you get a real life, claustrophobic nightmare.
A few days before Christmas, you could barely see the dining room floor, but with the a little help from some other family members, we were able to pull off a minor miracle. By Christmas day, the dining room was cleared out, and people could actually sit around the table and eat.
Alright, so maybe it wasn’t quite a miracle. I actually devoted two entire days to cleaning up the house, and I was pretty exhausted by the end. It was worth it though. My parents were very thankful for my gift to them, and all of our guests were impressed with how the house looked. It was definitely the best Christmas present I gave this holiday season.
To make things even better, my parents gave me something straight off of my list of 9 great gifts for a broke college student. #8 in case you’re wondering. Overall, this has been a great holiday season so far. Best wishes to everyone as the new year approaches!
