What did you do today?

[Animedragon]

This afternoon was the annual Christmas event in the High Street. They closed the road all day and set up stalls and rides for the children and the event ended with the switching on of the High Street Christmas lights it was good fun and thankfully it stayed dry.

I stayed in bed much of the time today too. I'm only getting up now because I'm going to be getting ready soon to go to the Magnificent Mile lights with my friends from school. It's going to just be us walking around downtown Chicago freezing our butts off looking at the lights and wishing we had stayed indoors

Slept a lot as I usually do on Sundays. I cleaned out the fridge and freezer and scrubbed it down too, felt like it was about time to do it again. Played OSRS and Genshin today too.

I miss doing that  Walking down the MM was my fave thing to do around the holiday ~ with all the lights and it was so festive.

Cha it is, the main road we would drive onto across the waterway before turning into the street we lived on is called the MM.

It's Tuesday I did my usual weekly shopping, got most of my Christmas presents and created a Christmas sig.

[Zeref]

Finished the Christmas event project for work I was assigned early, I was done by noon. I took a nap then worked out indoors. I don't think there will be anymore working out on the roof garden in these temperatures. 

[Sakura]

Mostly studied, what with finals for the semester coming up next week I figure I should at least try to study something lol ~ Also played some OSRS, there are some Christmas events already happening on there so I've been kinda hanging out having fun on the game. I think it's one of the only times I stop grinding skill levels and have just chilled out fun ._. 

[Zenki]

[Sarada]

Getting ready to go to school to take the last of my exams.

Same here I had to run some errands at lunch today which I wasn't very happy about because the temperature was around 19 F when I went out in it. 

I had work today too but there isn't much to be said about that, just a boring day filled with meetings I didn't want to be in, most of which could have been an email

[Sakura]

Studied for these exams next week, I think I'm pretty much ready for them at this point though. 
I GFX'ed something for a friend and started looking for resources to make a desktop wallpaper for another friend.
I made some chili because it was so cold outside which was really good in this weather

[Animedragon]

I printed out my annual Christmas letter and got all my Christmas cards written and ready to post, all I need to do now is go to the post office and get some stamps.

[Zeref]

I had the day off from work which meant I could sleep in and relax a little. Catch up on games and chores to do in the house that needed me to do it such as taking out garbage. 

[Sakura]

Today felt like it should be Friday but it was just frikken Thursday e.e I didn't do much but study half the day, spent the other half doing things I shouldn't be doing like spam watching anime shows and chatting on Discord

[Animedragon]

Went out to get some postage stamps and saw this amazing hand made post box topper on the post box in the High Street.

The group who made it also put had made decorations on most of the trees and lampposts in the High Street.

There's some talented people in my town.

After work we went to the store to buy some things but they were out of a lot of things. There's no snow in the forecast so I didn't expect it to be so empty on a lot of products. We had to go to 3 different places before we finally found an extension cord that was needed. I can understand the extension cord since people must be buying them up for Christmas decorations but not the food since our local store is usually stocked well.

Oh that's so cute  I remember the ones they made before that you posted for Halloween. That's so cute they did it for Christmas too!

We went on a Christmas house tour which involved a walking tour around our neighborhood and you were able to go inside many of the old mansions and see them decorated for Christmas. There were 8 houses on the tour, 2 churches, an old museum and a theater. They were all decorated with about a million lights and decorations and it was pretty cool to see. After that we went out to eat at a seafood restaurant overlooking the river.

Who don't love staying at home instead of going to school?

I wish I can stop going to school and live in peace

My favorite part of this was the theater & the churches ~ there was some amazing stained glass windows in the church from the 1800s and all the Christmas decor in the old houses was so beautiful. I'll post some pictures of it later ^^

After two weeks of rest I just exercise to stay healthy and a walk for fresh air.

[Animedragon]

After church some of my friends and I went out to a restaurant for our regular monthly meal together.
