   less than a month to christmas!!!!

I've just realised that it's less than a month till Christmas!!! I only have like 3 christmas gifts bought T-T i still need to get gifts for: my mom, stepdad, older sister, a small gift to go with the gift i already got my little sister =P, my dad (though i won't be seeing him until after christmas, but id like to get it before), and several friend gifts!! I'd like to go shop now...but i have no money, not for another 2 weeks!! T-T i really hate shopping for gifts last minute. The last few years i've felt like i didn't get to do anything christmasy until like the last week because of school and crap, but this year i want to start earlier =P
When i was little i would wake up at like 4 or 5am and want to open presents and stuff, so my mom had to make it a rule that the sun had to come up before me and my sister could get up(tho we were allowed to open our stockings whenever we woke up) my fav part of christmas is getting out all of the decorations and stuff that we've had since we were little, like the stockings that my mom made, and the wooden christmas tree advent calendar (which we found covered in mold last year and my mom threw it out T-T) but my fav thing to do is set up the manger scene. My mom went to college for ceramics/sculpture, and the Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus are figures she made in college, there's also a donkey...i like the donkey. But i get evergreen branches and dried grass (or whatever i can find in the back yard =P) and set it all up. One year i set it up in the unused fire place in the dining room, and we put a little light behind the manger so it was lit up. My fat haunch of a cat decided that right where the manger was would be the perfect place for her to lay her furry self down. So we'd come into the dining room to find the fat cat sitting on top of the manger, a light shining behind her, Mary and the donkey on one side, and Joseph on the other side praising the heavens =P i have a pic of it somewhere...ill post it if i can ^-^
last yr we couldn't find the manger scene T-T i really hope we can find it this year!
ok then, enough reminiscing (sp?)=P i need to get clean and get to bed...i need to get out of the habit of not going to bed until 2am when i have to get up at 6am =P
night!
