Christmas, please hurry!!

Most of all are just waiting for december to come, two reasons: vacations and CHRISTMAS.

This is one of my favorite holidays of the year, this is why:

School is over, sweaters are on and there are no worries in the world. We don’t have to do nothing. TV becomes our one and only friend. There is no better feeling in the world than not having to wake up early and sleep late without a care in the world. Eating all day everything that is in your fridge. One of this season’s workout consist in going from the touch to the fridge and then back.

Staying in your PJ’s all day. Cold weather means just one thing: long socks and snuggling in bed all day long. Watching for the 10th time Gossip Girl from the beggining and imagining how your life would be if you were Serena Van der Woodsen. Your other allie for this season is netflix.

Decorations. Decorating everything and I mean everything. Putting all the lights and socks is not easy. Climbing the walls to put all those colorful lights and surrounding all the outside trees of the house. Also is really fun making them. Making and decorating christmas wreath, spheres and banners, sewing pillows are things that can keep you busy and productive. Decorating food. Cookies, cupcakes, gingerbread houses. They also make perfect gifts that can save you lots of money. And the most important decoration that makes christmas, christmas: CHRISTMAS TREE! lights, spheres, the big star on top. This just completes christmas.

Christmas dinners, with friends and family they are allways amazing. Lots of food without any guilt, turkey, gravy, salad, smashed potatoes, beef, and mooore. Best of all, the left overs. This dinners bring every group of friends together. Food + friends + alcohol = best time ever and stories that will remain until the next dinner comes and you have new ones.

Fashion. All the prints and colors of fashion are just beautiful. Long socks, snowflakes and reindeer prints, leggins, oversize sweaters and coats. Feathers, fur, everything looks specially beautiful in this time of the year. Light colors; beige, brown, white, and really bright colors; red, green, and blue. High boots, short boots, leg warmers. Hats, scarfs, ear warmers and gloves.  All works out.

Christmas movies. All the channels are invaded with christmas movies and songs. The traditional movies that you se EVERY year like Home Alone, The Grinch, The Holiday, Miracle in 34h street, etc. This are a good example of movies that every living person in this world has seen. And during this season they repeat them over and over and over, just in case if you miss them.

Last but not least, SANTA and PRESENTS. This is the best part. No opening gifts until christmas morning, the waiting just makes it better. Gifts exchange with family (i think this is the most dissapointing one because they always give you ugly things or useless). Secret friend is the coolest thing ever to do with your group of friends. Christmas shopping for gifts is just insane, all the stores are crowded. You will keep half the stuff you buy that was meant for giving and end up with a financial crisis but it is worth it. Giving presents to your loved ones and seeing their faces it is just an amazing feeling.

The over exited people that annoys everybody. This people just make any christmas lover felinos of joy and love turn into hate. They just ruin christmas after 10 mins of being with them. First they share their happiness but then they are just to much and end up overwhelming you. They will want to sing and force everyone to do it, they would want to take pictures of everything and want to go to every christmas event like christmas plays and movies.  At the end of the day they are just part of the tradition and you will have to deal with them every year because no matter how hard you try they will be everywhere you go.

BONUS: candy canes! this is something really important if you are Gleen Coco, if not just pray to get one and not be like Gretchen.

Saints and Sinners

We all are saints or sinners and some of us are just more forward about it and have no intention on hiding their true selves. Some may call them the “prude” and the “slut” but i think thats a bit radical, for me saints are not prudes and sinners are not sluts, they are just more reserved in one way and the others like to break the rules a little. Now i’m going to talk about the kinds of saints and sinners that I know:

1. THE SAINT: first we have this type. Again, i’m not saying they are prude and that they live with nuns. This are the type of girl that is reserved with certain things and topics. They don’t like to break rules, they like to stick to what their parents told them it is good and bad. They like the safety. In a relationship they like to have things clear, what are we? Where are we going? They don’t fool around. Believe in the slogan of “true love waits”, their self-respect is really high. Party girls? Not so much, early curfew. They have high morals and they stick to their beliefs. They are really sweet and really good friends, betrayal is not in their nature. Always thinking in the others, they are selfless.

 

2. THE “SAINT” THAT IS A SINNER: for me this are the worst kind of girls I know. They act like they are saints, judging other people because that is exactly what they do or want to do. This girls are sneaky, manipulative and usually backstabbers. They make you believe they are really nice and good friends and they are always talking about how well they behave in attempt to convince you that they are really good. They are not. They are the worst because everything is a lie. If you trust them, behind your back they tell other people everything, with details, and trash you with them. This are usually scared of judgment so they think they have to wear this mask and judge other people so they feel better about themselves and what they do.

3. THE SINNER: they just do whatever they want to do. And the forbidden fruit tastes better. They are just open about everything and are not afraid of judgment and of course they don’t judge because they’ve done worst. Usually have outgoing personalities, impulsive and direct. If you have a friend like this, they are going to tell you the things straight forward without the fear of hurting your feelings. You can talk to them about everything, they don’t get scared with any type of conversations and they won’t lie about what they’ve done. If they want it, they go for it. They live without a care in the world and, sometimes, they are irresponsible. You never know if they are going to show up or not.

 

4. THE SINNER/SAINT: they are the perfect balance of sinner and saint. They do what they want, maybe break some rules but they really have a moral compass that rules their life. They may be dancing in the table at 4am, but it’s unthinkable missing sunday mass and their social service. They are outgoing sociable persons, but they are firm believers in some things and be judgmental sometimes. They are self-contradictory about what they say. They are nice but deep down they have their weapons and you never know when they might use them.

The shoe fits? wear it. No matter if you are a saint or a sinner. Be who you like to be and don´t be scared of what other people may thing. Do what you want to do, whenever you want, and with whoever you want to. Always believe in what you want and don’t let anybody make you do something you don’t want. Be true to yourself.
