Yay Christmas!!!

We're getting our Christmas tree tomorrow! I'm going to pick it out with my brother-in-law. He's offering his car for transporting the tree, since my dad got a smaller car, which can't possibly transport a nice size tree. I'm also thinking about decorating it red this year. We have TONS of red decorations and haven't used them for YEARS. Last year we had grey-silver-blue, the year before we had washed-out pink and anthracite, the year before orange, ... So it's time for the reds again. We also have tons of silver and gold, but I don't really like that combination...
I did part of my Christmas shopping, but I'm having great difficulties finding everyone presents. It's awful. I have one for my boyfriend (Friends all ten seasons DVD-box, found for cheap on Amazon), half a present for my oldest sister (The polar express book - tape - cd - sleigh bell), an idea for a friend (who celebrates Christmas with us, because ever since her mom died 10 years ago, they don't celebrate anymore), it's a pretty tea mug with a fancy cat print on it. An idea for my younger sister (USB flash drive), and an idea for my father: we're combining forces for him, we're putting all of our christmas budget money together, so we can buy him something nice for him and his almost-girlfriend, a couple of cd's and a cooking book. But there are so much gifts left to think about, I don't know what to do with them and I have school until the 23rd.
On top of that I'm cooking dinner for christmas eve (for 10 people), so THAT will keep me occupied the whole day on the 24th. I also need to do a lot of prep for this, still. I'm making a four course dinner and appetizers. My oldest sister will be helping me, though!
We're celebrating with our family (the kids - except for my sister and brother-in-law who are in south america somewhere - mom, her girlfriend, dad, and the friend I previously mentioned) on Christmas Eve. Then on Christmas day, I'll be at my grandparents, having another four course dinner over there with the extended family. And afterwards I'll be catching a bus to my boyfriend's place, and DEAR GOD, I hope they won't be forcing dinner on me, 'cause I'll grow fat and explode in only 2 days of pure christmas cheer.
Ah, I love christmas, even with all the stress it involves
