- In which I hang up my seventh-day advent calendar ornament because I actually put up all six of my Christmas decorations last weekend
- In which I go to the Cherrywood Art Fair
- In which I go to Book People, again, always
- In which I have a gift-buying addiction . . . or a book-buying addiction
- In which I almost just shop for myself half the time
- In which I stop by Thundercloud on the way home because I know who I am
- In which I deep clean my apartment because I can’t wrap gifts on a floor that is covered in cat hair
- In which I wrap gifts to the background of High School Musical
- In which I get very annoyed at my cat for trying to thwart me at every wrapping step
- In which I make it to the UPS store, ten minutes to close, and actually send out all my gifts three fucking weeks early like a goddamn superhero
- In which I apologize to the nice UPS guy a lot for making him stay a few minutes late because I arrived at the store ten minutes to close
- In which I stop by Randalls to grab a bottle of wine as a reward
- In which I really hate cleaning up wrapping paper but Troy and Gabriella are singing Breaking Free and I have feelings
- In which I make another note to myself to further explore the queerness of High School Musical in written form … not just in my many conversations with my friends
- In which I’m late to talk to my friends and eat leftover pizza and break open that reward bottle of wine
With Love,
Natalie
