Favorite Holiday Traditions

Christmas Eve is my absolute favorite holiday, even above Christmas! Here’s what we do… 1. At somepoint during the afternoon we bake and decorate Christmas cookies for Santa. 2.

A Broken Shepherd

I find it ironic that I had planned to talk a lot the broken shepherd today. I scheduled my 12 days of Christmas posts way back during thanksgiving break. My computer crashed today. Funn. Currently it’s drying out. Hopefully it will be okay. *Praying hard* Anywho, today I was supposed to talk about the broken shepherd. You see, when I was little my family had a porcelain nativity scene. While my mom would read to me, I would play with… Read more »

I survived my 1st Semester of College!!

…And it’s Christmas Time now! *Whew* Finals were intense. The tests themselves weren’t that bad; I just hated how the only thing to do all week was just studying. That’s it.And all my friends were studying too, so I didn’t want to interrupt their studying to hang out with them. There was nothing else to do. I couldn’t even go to class to pass the time! (And if I was wishing to go to class, you can bet I was bored!)… Read more »

December: nativities, and decorations, and candy canes, and Christmas trees, and lights, and (paper) snowflakes, and cookies!I love December! I love how everything is decorated for Christmas, and there’s a joyful and peaceful feeling I have during the month.There’s just something so exciting about celebrating the birth of Jesus for an entire month. Unfortunately, December is also the time for finals. Oh joy. As a result, I won’t be blogging for the next two weeks in order to adequately prepare for my… Read more »

Christmas in October

I’ve heard of Christmas in July, but I’ve never heard of a Christmas in October..? This past weekend, I went on a retreat with the college group from my church. Friday evening eight freshmen girls from the University of Not Hogwarts piled into a minivan. It was a squeeze, but all of us and our bags and pillows managed to fit. We drove to the church to meet up with the rest of our group and from there made our… Read more »
