So this holiday season I'm promising myself that I'm going to participate more. I'm going to go out there and enjoy the winter, enjoy the cold, enjoy the holidays no matter what!

Yesterday I ran off to a Christmas dinner party last minute and enjoyed every moment of it. Next week I'm taking my friend ice skating for the first time. I'm going to go up to the cottage (perhaps kidnap said friend and take her with me), going to go skiing, and sledding. I already have plans to go to a new years party, hosted by my grandparents as well.

Most years I just sit around at home and watch the year go by and I'm okay with that.. however it doesn't give you many fond memories to go back to.. and it always left a sense for boredom and worthlessness.. When I feel bad I usually go off into what I used to do over 5 years ago.. I think it's time for some current memories!

Thanks guys! I hope you both can enjoy the rest of the year as well, whether you celebrate the holidays or not!

My friend is like me and doesn't get to do a lot of things in her daily life. She's a hard worker but is failing school unfortunately, and as much as I'm doing this for me, I'm doing this for her as well. I think a nice day out, teaching her how to skate and enjoying the winter season will take her mind off a lot of things.

Going skating this evening and I was invited to her house for New Years! Hopefully all works out, and everyone else is enjoying their holidays too?

You certainly have the right attitude! I'm trying to take advantage of the holidays, too! I think life is to be enjoyed!

I am trying to do the same thing with minimal success. At least i did go to work with festive hats last week. Of course the only reason I did is because I am kind of expected to have crazy hats. LOL

I am maybe going to a party this evening. Just hve to psych myself up for it

I hope you guys enjoy what you're going! Dark_Dreams I think you should go to that party, it might prove to be really enjoyable!

I gotta say I'm so glad I went skating. More so now that I realize it must've been just what my friend needed (she has a rough time around the holidays, bad home situation and all that). I'm happy I could give her one day (and maybe many more this holiday) away from it all, just to have fun and be a normal teenager. I kept myself positive for her sake and tried my best to teach her how to skate. She must've enjoyed it cause she wants to go it again next week. I gotta say that one big leap has really paid off!!

No problem! I didn't know it was going to be so positive for everyone on here, but I'm glad it is. Hope you have a wonderful holiday!
