up late

so recently i was inspired by my sister to start a blog. after reading hers i felt like i saw a different side of her than when we just sit and chat. instead of rushed .. hey whats new.. mom and dad did this.. bye. its like real stuff. things that make each of us unique people. i must admit, i am intimated to start my own when hers is so fabulous! but my journal writing is lacking. and tonight seemed the perfect night to start.
its 3am. its the end of finals.. with only one more early tomorrow morning. and here i am just creating a blog.
my thought for the day is christmas is literally the most greatest holiday ever invented. i just can't understnad how can any other holiday can be someones favorite. my boyfriend brian likes halloween. some like birthdays or valentines day. but christmas is incredible. here is a couple of my favorite christmas traditions/memories.
andy williams, precious moment nativity, hiding the sheep in the christmas tree from the precious moment nativity, wassail, cinnamon candy canes (although i swear they are extinct), mom eating grandma's orange chocolates, sheriann playing bell boy, mj show, kenny g, victoria strongs christmas program, trichoir concert, pushing our christmas tree out our upstairs window, finding the music note ornament months later when the snow melted, croconole, christmas pjs, sexxy kitty waterton retreat, mainstreet christmas tree, my oldest sister waking us up earlier than my younger sister, dads new nativity for mom each year, the reindeer homeade stockings, boyds bear, polar express, amy grant.

well. this is all i can think of tonight. i just can't make my list quite as long as janeens. ive got so much to learn about blogging. :D i can't wait for christmas!!!
