It's the most wonderful time of the year!

It is true. The day after Thanksgiving begins Christmas season in my home. I set my alarm clock this morning on the Christmas radio station. Because of the dog we are dogsitting, though, I didn't get to wake up to magical Christmas music. But you can be sure I put some on the minute I got out of bed. And at this very moment I am listening to the Celtic Thunder Christmas album. At Dad's prompting (can I get a shocked face??) I downloaded it MP3. As an early present from him, I guess! Can I use this moment to say again how much I love this band?

Margie and I didn't end up going shopping today. We were going to but last night I just liked the idea of staying home and decorating better than wasting gas in traffic. Plus, shopping just wears me out and I didn't want to be a sleepy mess tonight at a sleepover we are going to. Maybe next year we will pull it off.

I am definitely not looking forward to the next two weeks. Two weeks and then I am done done done! I feel so un-studied, though. Now I'm panicking...I think I'll go study. Oh school you are the tragedy of my life. And yet one of the biggest blessings. Love + hate = school...
