Christmas and Car Stuff

Today is December 15th and there are only 10 more days until Christmas day. I've been looking forward to Christmas for a very long time now and I will be happy when it arrives. I love the look on people's faces when they open the gifts I get for them. That's my most favorite of things about Christmas; giving gifts to others. Oh sure, I love recieving gifts almost as much, but I'd much rather give than recieve. That's the honest truth. I hope that my friends and family like what I got them for Christmas. Some are hard to shop for and others are very easy to shop for. One thing that is nice about Christmas this year is that there are a lot more presents under our tree. Granted, most all of them are what I am giving to others, but it's nice to see packages under the tree. The last several years have been hard on my family and Christmas has typically been without gifts. Things are looking up though and I am glad. It truly makes me happy to know that we are doing better and that I have the means to make my family happy and give them the Christmas they deserve.

As you already know, I recently got a new car. I've finally given her a name too and I payed for her tags and taxes today. I've named my new car "Hope". I named her this because she is the first nice new car I've ever had and because it was difficult to find a dealer that would work with me and my not so good credit. It is my "Hope" that with this car and it's payments, I can repair my credit and make life just a little bit better for me. When I went to pay my car tags just a little while ago, I had known that it would be fairly expensive to do so. I had set aside $620 for it. Thankfully, it didn't cost even half of that. Since I had already paid for tags on my old car in November, I got a $24 credit. The rest was only about $280. Still an awful lot, but much less than what I had expected.

Well, that's all I have for right now. I'll try to update again soon. Merry Christmas all and Happy New Year!
