The Holidays

After seeing everyone running around on campus with their red Starbucks cups, it just hit me that Christmas is around the corner!! I've been in a cave ever since finals started =p

What the holidays means to me:

- Christmas lights galore
- the smell of a real douglas fir
- my mom adding more and more decorations each year after loading up from last year's Christmas sales
- my dad half-assing the outdoor Christmas lights but nonetheless gets them up before the holidays are over
- never knowing what to get my parents
- watching my siblings still get excited about how many presents they have under the tree
- reconnecting with old friends
- putting the fireplace to use
- eating, eating, and more eating
- holiday shopping

But really, the holidays are just another reminder for me of how much I love and appreciate my family and friends and to celebrate having spent another year of my life with them...Happy Holidays!
