Tonight my friends and I are exchanging gifts. This year we all got everyone gifts, and only spent 15 dollars on each. At first we thought it would be fun to get everyone little gifts. It ended up costing a lot money than any year before. So next year we are going back to just buying a present for one person. There are some weird people in the mall. When I worked at Pretzel Maker the same lady came every sunday and got two cups of melted cheese and ate it.

I still have to wrap my christmas presents I'm kinda putting it off. I hate wrapping. I'm so bad at it and it takes a lot of time too. I really looking forward to opening my presents but also I'm excited to watch everyone open up the presents I got them. That's one of my favorite parts of Christmas is watching everyone open up the presents I got them. My mom says that that's her favorite part too. I remember when I was younger and I got like a billion presents because my mom and dad would just get toys, but now that I am older I have like 5 presents under the tree because I ask for more expensive presents. Which I do, and I'm okay with not very many. I'm getting what I asked for. MARRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas!!! I love the christmas season. Everyone is so happy an cheerful. The stores are way crowded though. My mom has all her christmas shopping done because she did not want to have to go out this weekend. This year is predicted to be the busiest last minute shopping year. I do still have a little more to do but it's only like picking up gift cards or printing off pictures. Which I am doing tonight. We ordered my mom some shoes off the internet and I'm freaking out because they haven't came yet. It's getting very close to christmas and I want her to have them that morning to be surprised. For my mom's side christmas we are having snack night instead of a traditional dinner. But for my dad's side we will be having a traditional christmas like we always do. We do have good snacks before like pickle wraps and taco dip.

Yesterday was my birthday!! I am now 17 years old. It's crazy to think that I am already that old and next year I will be 18 and an adult. I just can't believe it. 10 days till Christmas. I'm so excited!! Even though I already know all of my Christmas presents, I am excited to get them. Also the time off from school is nice too. I hope my mom likes what we got her. She has no idea she is even getting anything more. I like to watch everyone else open what I got them and see their reaction. Sometimes I'm nervous they won't like it but most of the time they do (or act like it). I still have some shopping left to do for my friends and Bryan. I think I'm just going to get him a gas card along with what else I got him. My friends are kinda hard. We are doing a new thing this year where we only spend $10-$15 on all of them and this makes it harder to get something. Everything nice is more than the price range. But this weekend is going to be crazy at the mall, so my mom says we should go in sometime this week. So hopefully I will be done with Christmas soon!!

I'm so excited it snowed. I love snow! just not driving in it. This morning I was driving around the block to warm up my car and I slid right throw the stop sign. Luckily there were no cars. My mom is really nervous for me driving this winter. I am kinda nervous too, but I want to drive so when I graduate and go to college and can drive and not depend on someone else. In great conditions I'm an ok driver, I think.

Oh man, tomorrow the dance team has state. I'm kinda excited kinda nervous. I know that tomorrow I will be way more nervous. It's scary standing behind that curtain with thousands of people waiting to watch you and 5 of those actually judging you. My heart always pounds so hard. But honestly that is when I do my best. When my adrenaline is pumping. I totally do way better under pressure. This year we are taking a pom and a light routine. Light routines are amazing. They look so cool because you only see what the lights are doing. I'm also excited to go shopping. I love to shop!

14 days until my birthday!!! I'm so excited I will be 17. 17 isn't really an exciting age I just get my full license and can go to rated R movies. Still I will be a year older. I can't believe I'm already that old. My mom already talks about next year, and me going off to college. I'm kinda scared. It will be weird not being at home every night and seeing my parents. I won't be able to show them what a good grade I got on my project. I will for sure be home sick. But I don't know how far away I'm going to school yet. Maybe I won't be that far away so I can come see them every once in a while.

On a lighter note 25 days till Christmas. Oh man I have so much stuff to still do. That's scary.
