Things that I am loving today

1.I was singing this song in my head as I walked in between classes, no Pomplamoose's cover, but I love it too : )

2. While singing this song in my head I thought about the most beautiful place I have ever been:

I don't think anything can compare to Ellis Island in the snow. One of my favorite memories.
3. Christmas MUSIC! Specifically this lovely album:

4.Rodney Yee's Yoga Burn DVD. We did this dvd in yoga today and, even though I didn't do everything in the routine, it left me feeling pretty fantastic.

Two weeks, and then home free

I have two-ish weeks of school left and then I can start on making all of my presents for my family. I cannot for the life of my figure out what to do for my dad. I have made him so many nick-knacks over the years, I figure I should probably make him something useful.

I can't wait for Christmas break. I loved having my brother home for Thanksgiving, everyone putting up the Christmas tree together, and helping my dad put up lights on our house for the first time since we have moved here. I love all of the Christmas movies on tv, the music, and just the whole idea of what Christmas is. It is a time for all of us to come together, give presents, give thanks, and to celebrate.
