Hi All!

It's that time of year again.. Chrismukah. It sucks because every year it's the same thing. What do I get everyone?! That is the one thing about Christmas that I wish would apply exclusively to children. Its just sad because it's become all about how much one can aquire. If I had it my way, I would ban adult "presents" and just do something great with my family. Like go toboganning, or go for a movie day, or rent a hotel!! (me and vlad are doing that this year) We also bought a new camera together. Im glad we both share the same thoughts... why are we scrambling to get people things that they may not even like, or use? I mean, if its something special that you saw for someone and you wanted to wait for a good time to give it to them, then Christmas is cool. I just think the stress that comes with what to buy someone is not worth it. For anyone who is reading this... I dont want anything. Just love and a big hug. Maybe to go out for dinner, or something that we will remember doing. But the one thing I do love is the dinners. Having everyone together to share the day is just awesome. I wouldnt change that.

This year, for my mom dad and sister, Im getting a photographer to take some portraits of us. Not the sears style, but some cool photojournalistic style stuff. Im sure it will be great.

So if everyone could have their ideal Christmas, with regard to gifts, things you do, food you eat.. What would YOU do?
