1) More stress. nuff said
2) worrying who to buy gifts for, and the possibility of not having a gift for someone who has one for you, or getting someone a gift when they weren't expecting one from you and having it turn into an awkward situation...
3) cheesy or annoying christmas music (Hippopotamus Song) playing consistantly on the radio.
4) not being able to find what you want at a store because someone bought it for their cousin Lina
5) super sappy emotional sentiments, when everyone believes that people will be nice now, because it's Christmas
6) Two whole weeks without schoolwork...so boring. (kidding about this one, mostly ;)
7) not being able to figure out what to give your dad since he already has 5 of the same tie that you've given him for 5 years in a row (I haven't actually done that, but serious, what do you get parents who can't possibly use any more stuff?)
And now, for 7 things I love about Christmas...
1) Christmas trees!
2) Decorating houses, trees, cookies, anything really :)
3) Christmas music...so many good songs out there :)
4) food...eggnog, gingerbread, peppermint, etc. the list goes on
5) a time to let go of external worries and focus on family and Christ
6) traditions such as advent, opening christmas pjs on christmas eve,
7) pondering torreyish questions such as the incarnation of Christ, why Christ came the way He did, etc...
I could go on and on forever with this list, Christmas is such a wonderful time!
