chestnuts roasting on an open fire

well...we don't have any chestnuts but the fire is still burning in the woodstove =) it snowed a few days ago. just an inch or two but still, it SNOWED! having it snow this early in jersey is pretty exciting! Christmas is in the air. Ah, the lights, tree, presents. while these things are nice, let us not forget the TRUE reason why we celebrate. Jesus. They can do everything they can: ban saying merry christmas, take the nativity out of public schools, remove the ten commandments out of judical buildings. But, when it comes right down to it, the whole reason why the businesses do so well in December, why everyone seems to have a smile on their face this time of year, why we put up a tree and give gifts, is because 2000 some odd years ago Jesus was born. So, welcome Him into your home. Make Him the guest of honor at your Christmas Day table.

I decorated my room so now it's all full of lights and garland. it's very pretty =). i'll post some pictures of my room later. on monday, i got my first paycheck and guess what my first purchase was? mmhmm, this little thing i've been wanting ever since it came out! I still dont understand why it was released in october but hey, i have the cd! my favorites are: silent night, angels we have heard on high, little drummer boy, thankful, come all ye faithful, it came upon a midnight clear, and the christmas song. yes, i know. i like almost half the cd...ok it is half the cd. but it's so great! the duets...ehh. but his voice is very good so that makes me happy!
the senior chapel is coming along. i am done the script so now it's up to the seniors of 08 to pull together and get their lines memorized before the show next week. we still have costumes, props, sets to create...oy vey. it's best just to take it a day at a time...very very very slowly. haha! ehh, with God, we'll get it done. no worries, hakuna matata, peace on earth, shalom.
that's all i have for now...byee
oh did i mention i'm going to see trans-siberian orchestra? mmhmm, yea. be jealous O=)
