I am so excited and happy, words can't even begin to explain it. This Christmas is literally magical for me. I am now going to list down why this Christmas is so different for me.

1) I have an actual live Christmas tree for the first time in my life
The above picture is the said Christmas tree. I am so happy like so so so so very happy to get an actual Christmas tree instead of the fake ones (or not even having one last year) I used to have all these years. The house finally feels like Christmas and even smells like Christmas. I know it's so stupid to be so happy over having a Christmas tree in the house, but having a tree in the house and seeing it everyday just reminds me that Christmas is actually happening really soon. Also, I get to 'extend' this Christmas spirit for 2 more weeks because they won't take the tree back until 2 weeks after Christmas! And because of the tree I got to buy pretty ornaments and go shopping for Christmas decorations for the first time ever in my life (omg how pathetic).

2) I'm getting presents from other people besides my parents
Every Christmas, I would only get presents from my parents (and occasionally my godmother when I was young). This year, my parents didn't get me much but I'm plentifully surprised to know that my awesome friends are getting me presents! Though I don't know what they are getting me yet, but just knowing that they thought of it makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside. To know that people care enough to think about you during Christmas, it's just something I have never felt before. I am so thankful to God for placing such great friends in my life after all I've been through last year. I think I'm getting a tad emotional here megalolz.

I think that's actually about it? Not much of a list, but ah well. I guess this is what they call a magical Christmas perhaps?
