I always celebrate my bday the entire month of dec because people are always busy with holiday plans . Having your bday in dec also leads to getting a combined gift versus getting 2 gifts for bday and Christmas. But I prefer to give than receive. I created great lil stocking stuffers for friend this season. I also got a great give to give at my toastmasters white elephant this year. I got to go home at thanksgiving and give our gifts early this year as I did last year.
I was lucky that my day gig provides me free and reduced costs products that help me keep my budget low for this time of year. I've started listening to KOST and its holiday music this month! A friend of mine made me a Christmas mix cd as well.
The show last night in Ojai was great, stayed the night to go have breakfast locally before heading back to la. I have a show at harlowe tonight in weho! Making this a 3 show weekend for my bday, with bday drinks at everyone! Cliffmas has been good to me!
