Christmas is coming, are you all ready? Me neither.

Every year I promise myself to come up with ideas for presents around October, so that I can buy them all in November and have a lot of time in December to focus on baking cookies and singing carols. Of course it never works and now the only thing I can do is wake up early in the morning and go shopping before everyone does, so that I won't have to spend few hours standing in the queue.  

Another thing I promise myself is to buy something original. Every year I buy books and CDs and even though there's nothing wrong with them (the more books the better!) it would be nice to find something more personal, that says "I'm your daughter/girlfriend/granddaughter and I know you so well I bought you something no one else would ever buy and I know you'll love it". 

Anyway, the most important thing is that you get to spend time with the people you love, so every year I console myself that even though nothing went the way I planned, that's not really what Christmas is about.  
Do you know that next week new Star Wars movie is coming up?

I know it perfectly well as my boyfriend reminds me of it every single day. He's so excited there's nothing else he can talk about right now. I really like it when people have their passions, hobbies, favourite movies...but this is clearly an obsession.

Anyway, I've seen only three Star Wars episodes, but I'm looking forward to the next one as I want to see Harrison Ford on a big screen again.

If you're tired of writing your master thesis, take a break and watch Harrison Ford talk about the movie (what I really want you to see is his answer to the last question -around 3:35, unless you've heard about it already).
