Merry Christmas


Though home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit answered to, in strongest conjuration.
Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

I like that thought. There is no better feeling than being home with my family for Christmas!! We've had so much fun ringing things in with our usual Christmas Eve traditions, and we even added a few new games/activities to the list! Have you ever tried unwrapping a gift wearing gloves? How about unwrapping a gift layered in several rounds of packing tape, wrapping paper, boxes, and bags? Oh yeah, it rocked! 

One other thing that has rocked this Christmas is.. well Santa. I honestly only wanted one thing this Christmas, and it just isn't something anyone can buy me. Or even help me obtain. It doesn't run on schedules and desired timetables. But somebody must have caught wind of my wish. Because the past week has been an awesomely surprising adventure that I never saw coming. I didn't even realize some of it was even possible!! (Me talk on the phone for four hours?? And hang up only because it's so late I'm starting to mumble and drool?) I don't know what it all means, but there is a minuscule possibility that my Christmas wish is in the process of coming true. I'm excited to wait and see!

That's it? That's ALL you're telling us?? NOT ok with me. I demand more detail. NOW. Or I will stop reading your blog.

Don't limit yourself and don't let others convince you that you are limited in what you can do. Believe in yourself and then so as to reach your possibilities. You can achieve what you believe you can. Trust and believe and have faith. ~ President Thomas S. Monson
