If you want to skip the rant, there is a special awesome thing towards the bottom. Find the bold and read from there. Or, if you actually like reading what I type, then by all means, enjoy.Ah, seriously, it doesn't feel like Christmas to me. I've been a total Grinch this year. Course, considering the shittyness I've been dealing with, it's only to be expected...maybe?
My family and I went ahead and exchanged presents tonight. Then, tomorrow, my brother and I will open our remaining few gifties. >.> Even though I told my mom not to get me anything. *sighs*
So far I've gotten an Origami calendar, a new shiny wallet (White with black and pink hearts on it)and
The Dark Knight which is pretty nifty, I suppose.
Who knows what else I got. Ooh, we had a Secret Santa at the workplace! Well, not really a Secret Santa because most everyone knew who had whom. O.o I had the boss's mom and the boss had me! >.< Agh! She was damn near impossible to buy for! T-T
Mr. Bossman knows me well. He got me a gift card to Borders.

It came with the cutest damn Reindeer card holder I've ever seen! I sat there and "Awww"ed over it for about ten minutes. Then I carried it around with me at work. It was my little buddy.
Ah, but, yes...I actually, for once, hate the holidays. It's damn depressing, but I'll deal. It's almost over. Just a day and some odd hours left to go. I'll be glad when it's over.
...I haven't even wrapped my friends' presents yet. How sad is that? Luckily we aren't doing any kind of exchange for another few days. I'll probably be lazy and throw them all into a gift bag or something.
Ah, I have to say there is one thing that totally blew me away this year. It was the least expected thing EVER.
I called off work on Tuesday because I was laid up in bed (again) with a migraine. Well, Mom called to check in on me. She was in the office at work and was talking to me on the phone. Well, apparently the mail had just come there because she was looking through it. Suddenly she said "Kyrstin! You have mail!"
I was beyond confused...Who on Earth sends me mail...At Work? So, I told Mom to go ahead and open it for me. It was a Christmas card. With no return address or "From" on it.
"Once in college, a lady gave me money just to help me and that I could not repay. Over the years, from time to time, I have tried to share with others in the same way. The Lord has laid you on my heart this Christmas. You are a very special lady who has impressed me with your courage and ready smile in spite of adversities. Keep that smile no matter what. Remember Jesus loves you and so does a lot of people. God Bless You.
Merry Christmas.
A Friend."My mom was crying before she finished reading it to me. I was teary-eyed myself. Inside the card, along with various poems, was a hundred dollar bill. I wish so much I had a way to thank this person who did this for me. It must have been a church group or someone church-going because the poems are all related to that subject.
As I said, this was the brightest moment of my Christmas this year. It was the least expected thing and it just blows my mind that someone would readily do that for me..
All that aside, I hope you guys have a nice holiday and if I don't update before then, have a fantastic New Years, as well.
Peace out!
