Holy Moly

Me oh my! How time flies!

Christmas is over. :(

But it was fabulous!

And by fabulous, I mean amazing, and awesome, and splendid, and everything in between!

...

Christmas has ALWAYS been my favorite holiday!

I used to make lists of why Christmas is my favorite season when I was bored (and of course decorated it with snow, and snowmen, and Christmas trees, etc...)!

But this year, it was like BAM It's Christmas.

BAM it's over!

It's unconceivable!

When I am finally realizing it's Christmas, it's over!

But let's be real here, if there's one thing that I've learned from Faith Hill it's that "if there is love in your heart and your mind, you will feel like Christmas ALL the time!"

...

Here's a small list of why I LOVE the Christmas season!

-Snow/Winter: Let's get real here, who doesn't love to watch the snow fall? It's so beautiful! I just get so mesmerized when I look up to the sky, and see millions of white things falling down!

-HOT COCOA! With the snow comes hot chocolate, and drinking out of mugs, and I love mugs, and feeling warm!

-Reuniting with family and friends! Going home for the Holidays

is always a blast! Catching up with loved ones, what's better than that?!

-I know I already mentioned snow, but I didn't mention playing in the snow! Sledding, snowball fights, making snowmen, igloos, snowcones, and snowangels!

-LIGHTS. I don't think I need to expound on this one ;)

-Christmas Decorations in general. Lights, trees, Santa statues, NATIVITIES, etc...

-The Christmas Spirit, I think the lyrics to the song Silver Bells sums it up pretty well.

-Christmas Music

-Giving. I love to give to others. There's nothing better. Lately I have felt extremely selfish, and am going to try to do more service. There are so many people out there less fortunate, and although I may not be the richest person in the World (I am definitely far from that!), I am still so much better off than so many others, and it is not acceptable to simply sit here, and do nothing about it.

-Lastly, the thing I love most about Christmas, is Christ. The whole reason we celebrate. It is so easy to get distracted by all of the other parts of Christmas, and forget about Christ. However, I refuse. He did so much for us. He is the reason that we are here, and so, this Christmas, let's not forget about the night, over 2000 years ago, where Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World, was born, in a lowly stable.

{Nativities, and lights on Temple Square!}

I hope you had a very Merry Christmas!

Love, Hannah B
