So, it is officially the holiday season. I guess it was "officially" the holiday season on November 28. Or, depending on the country, December 1st or November 1st. I like to start mine at the beginning of the month. Get your tree on the 3rd, decorate the rest of the house by the 5th, start playing non-stop holiday music, begin baking. Well it is now officially the holiday season because I can now eat sugar cookies ^.^
It makes me super duper happy because that's like...The cookie. In my mind anyhow. Next week we'll probably make tons of other cookies as well. I am very excited about Christmas, it's just a happy time, even if it's not the most...luxurious year. I think luxurious fits there. I have no idea what I am getting four people though...it was very strange to buy a Christmas present on December 1st, when there still were no decorations or anything in my house. Which is why I haven't really been thinking about getting people things until this week. Wouldn't want to get it all done before Christmas Eve anyways.

My wonderful sisterly friend forced me to come up with a character so that she could draw it. It's digital art so I'm not sure if "draw" is the correct term, but it works for now. I really like this character, her name is Amina and she is awesome. She's sort of a spy/lady in waiting (Think Tamora Pierce type setting). Amina has the bone structure of an East Indian girl, and suntanned skin, and periwinkle eyes, and she is about 5'5" and is very graceful. I am having a serious problem coming up with her story, because I think I'm trying to force it too much. So what I'm going to do, is I'm going to step back and re-evaluate. I will develop Amina as a person more, and then find out where and how she grew up and come up with new people for her story and so-forth. I don't know if I'm going to do a first-person thing or go for the "I see all and know all but I mostly just know Amina" type deal. Maybe I should try and write it longhand.

So basically this was a pointless blog that just passed the time between baking cookies and eating supper.
See ya,
