I'll throw in my two cents here...
1. My most recent moment was probably a slight brush with death while out to dinner with my boyfriend's family. I was just sitting there, enjoying my cheese steak (being from the Philly area and all), and I just started choking on a piece of the roll. Since his father is a Health teacher, he immediately came over and prepared to give me the Heimlich, should I start turning blue or something. And Boyfriend, Boyfriend's Mother, and Boyfriend's Father spent the next 5 minutes (which felt like a lifetime) staring at me while I desperately tried to just swallow the stupid piece of bread. Thankfully, there was no need for the Heimlich or any other life-saving actions... I managed to get myself out of the choking process all on my own. Now, I'm a person who naturally turns bright red whenever I'm embarrassed, so you can imagine what shade of purple I was by the end of the whole episode.
2. Since my major holiday (Hanukkah) is already over, I've gone out and purchased the one thing that I really wanted. With some financial support from my parents, I just brought a brand new Dell 700M notebook into my life. And, despite the many things this laptop is equiped to do, I'm most excited about the fact that I can now play Spider Solitaire anywhere I go!
3. I love snow so I feel like it's really the holiday season when I see the first flakes fall. And when two local radio stations start playing Christmas music 24/7 (which happens BEFORE Thanksgiving)... that always gets me into the holiday spirit.
4. I try to spread happy holiday thoughts around this time of year, but I don't really do anything out of the ordinary.
