I have always been the type of person to NOT get excited about turning another year older. Unfortunately, my family (and almost everyone's family) are struck with the Economy curse, so they feel bummed about not being about to get a lot of presents this year. It doesn't bother me at all if I didn't get a single present because I know how bad it is out there... I know you are all thinking, 'Yeah Right! You know you're heartbroken at the no presentage.', when actually, I'm kinda relieved.
I'm the person who LOVES to give gifts. When someone opens one of my gifts, they can expect nothing. If I know one thing about a person that they really like, like a movie... animal... or collectible item, then I'm on the hunt! Smiles, gasps of joy, and laughs are what I aim for and it is the best feeling in the world to make your family and friends happy. As in for receiving gifts, I'll literally have to fake a smile when I'm given a present because, in my mind, I feel like I owe that person one, Unless I've given a present to them first, then we're even... lol
Anyways, Happy One More Year to me and I hope everyone has a good holiday (because I don't do a lot of Journals, if you haven't noticed).
