The Holidays are always a complicated season. Although I wouldnt call it a stress it seems that one would almost need time off after holidays to rest up from thier time off already taken. This season seems like its going to be busy already. Christmas is always a fun time figuring out what dinners are where. My family is easy, my place, christmas eve. However, my mother has been switching it up lately. And I know that my family wants us to go to Fred-town which I doubt will happen but you never know. Since Brandon's parents are divorced there is a bit more juggling but that normally works out. I always hope that Brandon and I can spend time together as in our dinner times dont clash as its nice having him with the family (that is if my brother and sister dont send him over the deep edge as they have attempted to do with my and my parents thier entire lives) Ah siblings ... cant pick them ... cant live with them ... and get get rid of them.

New Years Eve is going to be complicated this year too I just realized. The first complication is that Brandon and I wont be spending it together. :(  Although it makes me sad becaues I enjoy bringing in the new year with my boyfriend in my arms I am excited that he can spend this time with his family who will be coming together to join in the celebrations of Josh and Sarah's wedding. It will be the first time that some of his family members have been to the hometown in a while and Brandon as always will enjoy the socialization. The second commplication of the holiday season is figuring out how to get there, how to get back, how to get Brandon back and what to do with the cats but this will all come in time. The invitation was a bit short notice so plans will have to change. Brandon obviously wont be going to New York City and I really dont have anyone else that is in the country with a passport to come with me. I am trying to get my sister to get her passport together but as a first year university student I am not sure she will have the money. Perhaps I will not go to New York City but spend New Years Eve in Canada for the first time in a few years. The third complicaton is money. I think Brandons a bit freaked out becaues it means we will have to be home from the Dec 23- Jan 2 and thats a big chunk of change that is cut out of the pay chq. Not to mention the fact he will just be back to work after school. I would like to say - YAY for salary! I get paid either way. mwuahaha. The fourth complication is the cats. If I do stay in Canada then I think we will just head up home together and drag out cats along with it. Although I have mentioned this to Rascal and Copper they do not seem thrilled with the idea. Rascal did enjoy the extra company that my family gives but was a fan of the 6 hours drive or the dogs. Copper .... well I doubt she will enjoy the drive either and many be a bit more welcoming towards the dogs but still wont be excited about the process. At least this time I will have Brandon to drive home with me. The holidays are always busy so we will just add it all to the mix and figure it out!
