i was a little worried that i might be one of those people that dont have enough entries. here are some thoughts i have. i cant wait for christmas so i can get some great gifts. i also cant wait to get a good long break from school. one thing in nissenbaum that was kind of intersting was that he said that christmas gifts were for pure pleasure and shouldnt really be gifts that will actually be useful. something like that. anyway, it doesnt really work that way in my family. my siblings and i do recieve our fair share of great gifts but we also recieve gifts that will be more useful to us. an example being for my birthday this summer i got bed sheets and a pillow for college. not exactly a great birthday present. im not gonna complain though. i guess its the thoguht that counts. my favorite parts about the winter are probly the xmas season and basketball season. im not really a fan of the cold weather. sledding and stuff is always fun though.
