Merry Christmas!

As the veggietales song goes, "I can't believe it's Christmas!" However, I really can't. Today seems like it's just another day except I'm allowed to plan and execute a menu for the first time. Christmas Eve is normally when we do part of our celebrations, but not this year. My grandparents already left for Florida for the winter, so we had our Christmas events with them on Sunday. Now, my brother-in-law doesn't get here until tomorrow so the immediate family Christmas festivities that normally happen tonight are postponed until tomorrow evening. Does that mean stockings will be done on the 26th? Tomorrow we will gather with my mom's side of the family at one of my uncles' homes. Last year it was awkward for me. I'm closer to my cousin Sarah, though, now more than ever, so maybe I'll chill with her all day.

Oh well, I guess I do have the company of vampires and werewolves at the ready if I get bored. I read 268 pages of Breaking Dawn yesterday! I was only 50 pages into Eclipse when I got home Saturday night. I'll be done soon!! Then I'll start into my "productive" reading. I'm going to delve into some books that are more beneficial to me holistically--predominantly, spiritually--speaking, like Lewis, Tozer, and such.

I finally decorated my apartment for Christmas (the day before I left)! So, I'm gonna leave it up for a bit in order to enjoy it. I'd like to have a Merry Christmas/Happy New Year/Welcome to the New Semester Party at my place. Kind of just want people to visit since I've never really had company. Plus I can show off the decorations and listen to Christmas music and I can go baking crazy the days before! I'm kind of looking forward to it! Even though I haven't really planned it out yet.

Well, I guess that's all for now. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
