Christmas

Yup. It's here. And this is the part where I brag about all my stuff! ;) Okay, only some of it.
I got a Canon Rebel T2i. LOVE! I will have a name for it soon. Also, now that I have a camera, keep checking my photo blog, Adventures. I got Bedtime Bunny, who is an adorable stuffed bunny, from Brielle. Mom and Dad gave me a new Pink Baby. Yay! My favorite childhood toy is back! Trevor got me a super soft scarf, which I am looking forward to wearing. Kristen got me a very pretty necklace. This year seemed to be my necklace year! I got a purple necklace from playing Bunko yesterday, a heart necklace from Grandma with my initials and an amethyst in it, and 2 necklaces from Santa Claus. One has a little ring that was CTR on it, and the other is 2 hearts. Yup! I got a rock tumbler, and it is currently tumbling some rocks in the garage. We got some Wii games for the family, and a Perplexes Ball. Brielle got and American Girl doll, and she's SO cute with it! That's about it. Also, please suggest names for my camera! I like to name my things. ;) I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, so any name will do.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Signature

I'm testing out my new signature I made. How do you like it?

The arrival of December and Snow

(Note: Well, it's being stupid, so there's some weird things going on with the text. Sorry about that!!)

Hey! Alright, so I know I haven't posted on here for a LONG time. Hehe! Sorry 'bout that! Well, I would say that December has creeped up on me, but it hasn't. I've been eagerly counting down the days!! And to make things better, there's snow on the ground! It makes me all happy inside. Now, winter is my favorite season, and December my favorite month, it being the month of Christmas. I've been trying to decide what I like so much about those two things... Here's what I think might be behind my love of these two things.

My love of winter

Well, I guess my favorite part of winter is the snow. I actually hate winter days without snow. Because then it's just cold. Bluh. So, I guess this section should be called...

My love of snow

That's better! Snow. People say that they'd like it if it were warm. Agh! Warm snow? Weird... No, snow is good because it's cold. And white. And fluffy. Unless it is warm, then it's slushy. But we're talking about cold snow. There's something about the way snow makes you feel. It makes you feel warm inside! Even though it's cold... It makes the world beautiful, even with all it's pollution, and ugly stuff we humans have put everywhere. And when you go up into the mountains, and into the trees, it's breathtaking! It sparkles, and glimmers, and makes everything look...magical! Have you ever noticed that when there's snow on the ground, it seems to be quieter? It's like a big, white blanket that sucks up all sound. And watching snow fall... Wow, it's amazing! Or studying a snowflake. That's my favorite! Snow is just amazing! I know that it causes slippery roads, and makes frost on your window. But there's pros and cons to everything. Some people choose to look only at the cons: It's cold, it slippery, it's wet. I choose to look at the pros! It's fluffy, it's pretty, it covers all the ugly things, it sparkles... Mmmm.... I love snow!

My love of December

Well, in December there is Christmas, and Hanukkah, and, well, whatever other holidays are in December. My family and I celebrate Christmas. I love Christmas! Well, what I really love is the Christmas season! It seems like for a month everyone is just a little bit happier! And, admittedly, a little more stressed. But all the same, happier! There are 24 days before Christmas, and those days are filled with hustle, and bustle, and carols, and COOKIES!! Num. ;D And magic! Don't you think that Christmas is just magical! Another reason I love Christmas: We focus so much on Christ! More the usual that is. Now, we all know that Christ was probably born in April. But we can celebrate his birth in December! It's a great time. People find more love in their hearts. It's a season where lots of giving, and serving and loving happens. I love it! It is by far the best holiday

(speaking of Christ, we saw the Carl Bloch paintings at BYU! They were AMAZING!! Here's one of my favorites. It's kind of bad quality, sorry!)


And I think that's why having a White Christmas is so cool. Take the day filled with the most joy, and happiness, and excitement, and add magical, wonderful white snow. So, the arrival of December and of snow has made my insides go happy!!
