It was Christmas and I wished everyone the merriest day ever...

If I was at my younger, imaginative age of 5, my current awake state would be utterly unacceptable! Santa could be coming down the chimney at any moment! Oh to be child-like, naive, and innocent again. I remember baking cookies for Santa, acting out the Christmas story with my childhood best friend Paula, baking a cake for Jesus's birthday. I miss these things so much now that I'm older. But we did keep up our annual tradition this year by going to Candlelight service. It was beautiful as always. My favorite part is at the end when we sing Silent Light and everyone begins to light their candles one by one until the whole room is lit by only those tiny flickers.

Today has been SO great. Woke up and ate a delicious bowl of Lucky Charms, which was quite a delight since for the past week I've been consuming wholesome bowls of Raisin Bran. Blah. Then I got dressed, wrapped presents, helped set up for our delicious lunch/dinner-ish meal of ribs, corn on the cob and mashed potatoes. Oh man it was so tasty and SO filling. Then we hung out for a while as a family and chilled on the couch watching a movie before the SMU Hawaii Bowl game. And then... of course the greatest SMU game in history!! Or at least in my mind :) Our 1st Bowl game in 25 years! We kicked SO much ass today. I'm so ridiculously proud to call myself a Mustang and to sing our alma mater. I couldn't have been more excited and beaming while watching the game today. Especially since I have friends who are cheerleaders and players on the team and I also got to see a few of my friends in the crowds. I loved every moment of it. Then after that we went to Candlelight service at Bel Air which I mentioned earlier.

I'm so excited for the morning and just thought I had to blog about what has happened today. Also I must mention that I absolutely adore my roommates. I don't know if they are reading but seriously they are the best. They are my best friends who I tell everything to and they guaranteed can make me laugh at any moment of the day. I'm so lucky to have them. I've never ever had a group of girls and friends that I've been this tight with and it feels so nice to have them to come home to everyday at SMU. They are my sisters, they are my friends, they are my life! QUAD LOVE FOREVER ;) Haha. Haters can suck it.

Good night everyone! Merry Christmas. Don't forget about the true meaning of Christmas: Christ is born and He came to the earth to save us from our sins. Luke 2: 1-20Remember that it's so much more rewarding to give than to receive. And lastly cherish the time you get to spend with your family. It's precious.
