Because I am!

This is my first school year away from home, and I am more than ready to see my family again for Christmas. I miss the snow, the food, the lights...and I just can't wait to see my brothers and my sister and my parents again. It's only been a couple months, but I'm anxious to see them. Before I head back home though, my sister is coming to visit me for a few days, and it'll be fun to explore the area with her without worrying about homework or exams.
Of course, I have quite a bit of shopping to do, before I head home...but what do you buy for people who have more time and money than you? Welp...
I'd really love to make gifts for my family members, but I don't exactly have the resources, especially considering I'd have to fly all these gifts home with me in my luggage. Aah, well. I'll figure something out. I've got a bit of time between the end of the term and my flight home, and plus, there's plenty of cool things to buy around here if only I can find them.

Today's question:
What do you do for the holiday season? Do you have any traditions that you look forward to? Do you remember which Christmas was the BEST?

Hope you all have a lovely holiday~! ♥
