Christmas is on it's way but it seems so far away... i can't believe its already december 14, i feel like i'm still in october. it must be the fact that its not absolutely freezing outside with feet after feet of snow on the ground. i can't wait to go home! the smells of hot chocolate, watching its a wonderful life, playing hand and foot with the family while listening to trans-siberian orchestra, the decorations, along with the icicle lights hanging from our white house with perfectly a shoveled sidewalk and driveway. ha i can picture my dad right now outside making sure that there is no snow or ice out there or at least as best as he can get it, aww i miss helping him after about 2months of constant shoveling it gets a little old but the beauty of snow is what makes christmas christmas to me in a way.. my favorite is when you wake up christmas morning look out the window and see the untouched snow that had fallen the night before. God's creation melts me everytime i take time to stop and look around...
friday night was probably the most i was reminded of christmas this year. decorating setting up for a christmas party, dressing up like who's and elves reindeer and christmas hats, christmas music, fake snow it was so much fun!
