I've never looked that much forward to Christmas. I usually don't get my Christmas spirrit until a few days before the day itself, and this year I just can't seem to find it at all, and not for the lack of trying. I've been listening to Christmas songs, shopping for gifts, packing in gifts, wearing socks and T-shirts with Christmas pictures, but nothing seems to work. I haven't been that busy for Christmas though. Bought 5 gifts, backed cookies with two of my friends, and that's practically it.
In my country we celebrate Christmas on the evening at the 24th, starts at 6pm, but that's almost never been the case for me. My whole life my dad has been working either a 12 hour day-shift or a 12 hour night-shift that day because he gets so much money for working that day/night. If he's working a day-shift we start Christmas at around 9pm, and if he has night-shift Christmas start around 4-5pm. This year he has a night-shift, so my Christmas start around 5pm. It doesn't matter to me, I'm used to it because that's how it's always been. Although this year is a bit different to every other year in the past. When my dad leaves for work, my mom will drive around an hour out of the city to visit grandma, my sister goes back to her boy-friends place, my brother will go back to his place, and that just leaves me. I had planned to spend the night alone, maybe playing World of Warcraft or something, but tonight I was offered to join a group of people I know, at a friends house, that don't have anybody else to be with. I'm gonna take that offer.
Although I have a massive loads of work to do for new-years night. I'm going to be the DJ at a LGBTQ new-years dance, I'm extremely nervous for it, and I haven't completed the play-list. I have DJ'd three times before, but never alone. I've always had a pro DJ with me. I'm gonna be working from 1-7am, and I'm 100% alone in the spotlight. I'm extremely nervous.
