Christmas is in the air

 
     I've been pumped for christmas for the past two months, but now I can't contain myself. It's only a few weeks away! All the christmas decorations are up around town, all of the stations are playing christmas music and christmas trees are being sold. This morning I jammed out to my christmas pandora station while getting ready for school and to sunny 93.3 in my car . I seriously can not wait. Christmas is my favorite time of year. The decorations the time spent with family and friends, and the gifts. :) Just the total environment.
  
     The christmas season just puts me in a better mood for the most part. It was also my dad's favorite time of year which is kind of rough. He would always go out of his way to get me everything I wanted. We always picked out the tree and decorated the house and listened to our favorite charlie brown christmas cd. It is definitely not the same without him. It makes christmas a lot harder on me knowing that I cant spend it with him but at least I have the memories and that make it better.
    
     This year is my first year to be home for christmas since the 3rd grade. It's going to be a little weird. I'll be in a new house, and it will just be me and my mom. It could get a little interesting to say the least.


    The countdown to the 25 days of christmas on abc family starts wednesday 12/1 @7c with How the Grinch stole Christmas. I can not wait. It's a classic. My christmas voice recital piece this year is actually from that movie. Kind of a coincidence....or maybe not.


    My last note on christmas is the stress. Oh my goodness I have so many people I have to get gifts for and I have no earthly idea what to get them. This could be a problem. Especially my mom. She always says she doesn't want anything but I have to get her something. It would be terrible if I didn't get her anything. I'll think of something.


    Well everyone get in the spirit. Put up the tree, crank of the christmas carols, and cuddle up by the fire and drink some hot chocolate!!!
