Suddenly I realize it's just 35 days before Christmas. Yes, 35! Can you believe that?

I was at the mall today and already plastic Christmas trees are on sale. I'm planning on buying one to make my apartment look Christmas-y for the holidays, but Im not sure how to decorate it. Our Christmas tree at home has always been decorated by my sister and my mom, and my part would usually be just making faces at one of those shiny ornaments hanging about. Gimme a break, I'm pretty sure you've done it yourself lotsa times before.

I'll probably get my tree next week. For the meantime, this will do:

Yup, got my own poinsettia right here, for just a hundred baht. I remember Ruth telling me to place a plant in my room to give it some life and this red little sucker was just begging to be part of my abode. It's bloody red, too.

I hope I don't kill it before Christmas day.

Because I'm ridiculously excited at the prospect of spending Christmas "home alone" -unless some good soul invites me over- I'm putting up this neat little Christmas countdown in my sidebar. Ah, 35 days left. Can you believe it?

Note: The countdown widget says I wish for love, peace and happiness. Yeah okay, but let it be known that I also wish for a Wii.
