Hey Brandi!
I just wanted to take a moment to say "Happy Thanksgiving" and share one of my favorite Christmas moments with you.
I remember I was about seven years old and I was way into Sanrio. Every time I went to the mall with my mom or dad I HAD to go into Sanrio, even if I had no money to buy anything. My dad hated it.
So, imagine my surprise one Christmas when I find a hidden gift tucked away in the corner. I opened it and it was a Hello Kitty Suitcase. I was so shocked and in awe! But, the awesome part was that when I opened the suitcase, it was stuffed full of Sanrio stuff! I remember thinking "this must of cost a fortune" and said "Thanks,mom!" But it turns out that my dad went out of his way to pick out all of the stuff from the store on his lunch break one day. He told my mom "I actually kind of enjoyed shopping in there." I still tease him about that to this day. I just remember how touched I was knowing that even though my dad hated my childhood obsession, he loved me enough to brave the cuteness and get me the most memorable Christmas gift ever! I still have the suitcase and use it to store art supplies!
Happy Turkey Gobble Day!

Hello again Brandi!
I hope your Thanksgiving and Black Friday were full of thanks and spectacular deals! I have another Christmas moment I was just reminded of...
I have been married for a little over a year. Last Christmas was our first Christmas as a married couple. I was so excited to celebrate Christmas with the love of my life...
Unfortunately, I was laid off a few months before Christmas and could not seem to snag a job. My husband and I both have commercial art degrees, but trying to rely on freelancing was hell. So, to make things short, we were poor. I wasn't that upset about not getting to get each other awesome, expensive presents. I was mostly upset because we couldn't afford a Christmas tree. I had been dreaming of the day when I would have a husband and we could decorate our tree together.
So, I was pretty bummed throughout the Christmas season. My mom made me go Black Friday shopping with her, which was really hard on me because it made me feel like there was something wrong with me because I couldn't afford to get my husband a nice gift.
So, the day I was out Black Friday shopping with my mom, I came home and my husband had gone out shopping early on his own to get us a discounted Christmas tree and some ornaments! He had already lovingly put the tree up himself, but was thoughtful enough to leave the decorating for both of us. I was so touched that he did that. I can't imagine him, setting his alarm to get up early and shop just to make sure I could have a tree, but he did!
I am truly blessed for the people in my life! Thank you Brandi for all your awesomeness!
