The holidays are going to be very different this year. My mother moved out of my childhood home and my brother is leaving for boot camp in the beginning of December. We're going out to a restaurant for Thanksgiving which I've never done before. My mother's new place is very small and my aunt and uncle who sometimes host are packing up to move so we don't really have many options.
We're celebrating Christmas before my brother leaves and I'm stuck on what to get him. Anything I get he'll only have a week to enjoy before he leaves. I could just get him some beer and a steak and call it a day. I don't think its hit me yet that he's leaving. It will at some point I'm sure. He's going to miss Christmas, New Years and my birthday. He makes sure any party he's at is fun. My roommate jokes that all he has to do is walk into a party and people start falling on the floor wasted. This stems from an impromptu get together with some friends and my brother and two of my roommates coming home to find all of us lying on the dining room floor in the dark listening to "I write sins not Tragedies" on repeat with bottles everywhere. My brother was still trying to get people to do shots.
Somehow it will be ok. It will be different but being with my family is all that matters.
I would also like to point out that walking through the mall to get to work everyday I am bombarded by Christmas decorations which I think went up right after Halloween. It's not time people! I'm also afraid one of those giant stars hanging around is going to fall on my head.
P.S. If someone wants to get me a GPS for Christmas, that would be awesome.
