getting engaged during the holidays is cliche

So the other day, I updated my Facebook status with "Dina thinks getting engaged during Christmas/New Years is cliche..." and it turned into a big discussion between my sisters and me.

My one sister, who is an absolute moron, thought it was "super cute." But I'm really adament about this because if a guy proposed to me during the holidays, I'd tell him to be more creative and then say no.

Seriously, there are 365 fucking days out of the year so there are many options. Why should I have to have my engagement overshadowed by Jesus' birthday or the New Year. My birthday is 2 weeks before and that already interfers--I don't need something else devaluing a very special day to me. Seriously.

I also think getting married during that time is ridiculous too. Why the hell would I want to share my anniversary? Sure, its a super sweet time during the holidays and we all love the jolly cheers in the air, but why can't I just be selfish and want ONE day to celebrate something important to me?

Also, if you think giving me a ring during the holidays gives you a free pass to skip out on a gift for me--think again. So those of you thinking that the ring counts as a Christmas gift--it doesn't. The ring celebrates our engagement, Christmas is a totally different holiday. Nice try buddy.

Definitely don't even think about proposing on my birthday. Even if my birthday wasnt 2 weeks before Christmas it still would not be allowed. Again, it's not a cop-out for a birthday gift. So basically, no proposing from November 18ish until February 14---because Valentine's day is the WORST of all!

So future boyfriend, pick another time please...show me your way more spontaneous and creative than that. So basically, no proposing from November 18ish until February 14---because ugh, Valentine's day is the WORST and MOST CLICHE of all days!

Oh and one more thing, in case you dont remember my post about my engagement ring, here is a little reminder.
