there's nothing I love more than Christmas. during the holidays I feel as though my mood is 10 times happier than usual. this Christmas I will be flying to North Carolina to spend time with close family. I enjoy visiting my cousins in North Carolina. I seem to have a better time with my family around and together. Christmas has always been my favorite holiday. not only because of presents but giving presents. I enjoy shopping for others. seeing their reaction to the gifts I have given them. I pay close attention to details for presents. I consider the things they would actually use. I try not to buy gift cards. gift cards scream I didn't know what to get you. I love going to malls during the holidays. decorated for the holidays. I also enjoy decorating my house with Christmas themed decorations. drinking hot chocolate and watching Christmas movies is one of the perfect things to do during the holidays. ice skating and light shows are one of the best things to do on a date. taking pictures with Santa at the mall is one of the best memories as a child. my mother cooks her tamales usually every year which is another thing I also look forward to during the holidays. I can now finally start celebrating the best holiday ever.

this weekend I used my free time to finish the series sex and the city as well as both movies that came after the series ended. sex and the city definitely earn a spot on my list of the best shows I have watched. not only is the show based upon romance but the characters wear designer brands and are very fashionable. my favorite character from the show definitely has to be Miranda. Miranda is a Harvard graduate who is currently working as a lawyer. Miranda ends up getting married to steve. steve is a bartender. Steve and Miranda date for a couple months before Miranda decided to end it because she was no longer interested in steve. months later steve and Miranda find each other again. Miranda ends up having steves child, Brady. Miranda and Steve weren't together during the pregnancy. worked on a schedule on days that Miranda has the baby and steve does. Miranda and steve start seeing other people but soon realize that they still love each other. Steve and Miranda end up marrying each other in a small ceremony with only close friends and family. Miranda has a very tuff personality, she's a very independent woman who won't take nothing from no one. this show has taught me a lot about the work put into relationships and how they aren't always easy. I truly can't wait to rewatch it.

Gone Girl a very suspenseful book that I would like to read again and again. the suspense makes you want to read more and more. no other book has caught my attention like this before I am currently on page 509. the main character in the book is called amy. Amy is missing but the more and more you read you start to figure out what actually happens. nick who is Amy's husband comes home one day to find amy missing and what looked like a forced entry into their home. iron on, broken glass everywhere, and bloodstains. before Nick comes home he goes to the bar which is a bar he owns. Nick's sister margo and he talks about the issues nick is facing with amy. nick is contemplating when is the right time to tell Amy that he wants a divorce. margo tells nick that the sooner he does it will be better for him. nick had the intention of coming home and talking to amy only to find out that she's missing. a couple pages into the book you soon realize that Nick was always very controlling of amy. not letting amy make decisions for herself. we soon realize that amy is not missing but actually ran away and is plotting a big plan to get back at nick for thinking about leaving her even after she moved away from her family to be with nick during his mother's illness and helping nick financially with opening his bar. Amy feels as though she's been used and is tired by the treatment she has received by nick. nick has hurt amy physical as well and is scared that one day nick will hurt her bad. amy has been writing in diaries about how her day goes. I've had a good experience reading this book. gone girl is a thriller which is one of my favorite genres. gone girl is anything but boring and dull.
