Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas...

Tommorow's Christmas everyone! I am pretty excited but it totally snuck up on me this year. I speant the first part of the month thinking about formal. After formal I was thinking about my birthday. After my birthday I was thinking about formal. And then after formal I was thinking about finals. that left virtually no time for me to think or remember that christmas is coming. I don't love Christmas because of the presents or the food although I enjoy both. I like Christmas because Jesus Christ was born. You know that its rare to hear people even say Jesus when talking about Christmas? Why do we celelbrate, by we I mean people of the Christmas faith. We celelbrate because a savior was born to take our sins and set us free. Free from what? Free from the evils of the world, and the pain that this place gives us everyday. Through Jesus, we are all able to be the perosn we always knew we could be. So thats what I celelbrate on Christmas.

We have some Christmas traditions in our family. Every year we have a huge party with the African Community and we all have fun, hang out, have dinner together. It goes pretty well every year and its a lot of fun. I hope this year is the same. I actually didn't buy any Christmas presents this year. Before I come off looking like a bad person, everything by brother had wanted my parenst provided. My mom and Dad wanted a nice flat screen tv and they bought that for themselves over Thanksgiving break. So there was really nothing left to give. I don't really do gifts for my friends, because I guess thats just not our thing. We did that one year but I ended up loosing a lot more money then I should have and getting the cheapest gift. That sounds bad, but its true, thats why I'm not a fan of the whole secret santa thing without a price limit so everyone gets something equal. But like I said its not about the gifts.

Another really good part of Christmas is....The Music!!! Here are my favorite carols

1. All I want for Christmas is You - by Mariah Carey
2. Let it Snow
3. Joy to the World
4. The First Noel
5. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - Yolanda Adams version
6. The Little Drummer Boy -Yolanda Adams
7. O night Divine - Mariah Carey

My Favorite Christmas Movies:
The Santa Clause 1, 2, & 3
Four Christmases (laugh out loud funny movie)
The Nativity Story (really portrays the true meanng of Cristmas)

Those are the songs I'll be jamming out too all weekend long. And those are the movies I hope to find time to watch.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! Spend the holiday with your families weather your celebrating this year or not. Its a nice day where a lot of the distractions are closed and we can all just appriciate our friends and family and share some quality time with them.
