Snowflake Mania

So my roommate and her daughter started decorating the house about two weeks ago for Christmas. The decorations included making paper snowflakes to hang from the ceilings. I remember making snowflakes in school as a kid but it had been such a long time that I had forgotten how to do it. My roommate and her daughter showed me how to make them and now I can't stop! Here's a tutorial if you have forgotten the magic of making snowflakes like me.

The Season of Giving

Now that we're officially in the Holiday season, I'm sure we're all bustling about to get gifts for all our loved ones. Interestingly enough, I don't exchange gifts with my family often. Usually my sister and I pool together some money to buy our parents something or even just get a gift card whilst my mother will take us shopping on behalf of my dad as well. This Christmas, I think the best gift will be that our whole family will be together. It happens once a year and originally I didn't think I was going to be able to make it home for Christmas but due to an unexpected emergency, I was able to be excused from work to be with my family for a week.

Meanwhile, I do have a small list of people I will be getting gifts for although some may be late since my bank has been set back a bit buy a last minute plane ticket. So what kind of gifts are surefire hits?
