Thinking about Christmas(:

GOOD MORNING! Oh well it is not morning anymore, but let’s pretend because I like saying good morning better than good 4:54 in the afternoon. So GOOD MORNING!

 

How are all of you today? I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for Christmas to come! I’m like Cindy-Lou Who down in Whoville and I like Christmas a lot! It’s that time of year when all motivation slowly drains from your mind and you begin to feel like a zombie, walking around school with glazed eyes. I’m there and beyond.

  I’m sitting here listening to Tswift croon “Santa Baby” and basking in the glow of my Christmas tree when I should be in my cold, dank office (it is actually quite nice, but seems very cheerless on days like today) tackling those fifty math problems. But sometimes a lazy Sunday is just what you need in order to conquer the coming week. And this week will be very special! It’s our LAST week friends!

Just a little more pushing through and then we’re free!

The holiday season is always my favorite. I love the tree (even though its fake now) and the cookies, and laughing with family, ice-skating with friends, shopping with every other American, and the smell of vanilla that fills my cozy house.

But I think my favorite part of Christmas is Christmas Eve. After all the family and friends leave, and the house is quiet, and all of my family is asleep, I’ll grab my thickest, most cuddly blanket and sneak out to the Christmas tree. There I’ll sit and read my favorite Christmas book, “Mary’s First Christmas” by Walter Wangerin Jr.

  I love Christmas for so many reasons, but the best of all is thinking about my Savior’s love for me.
