# 6 (Christmas)

Okie dokie... ^_^ It's December! =D I dunno bout some of y'all but I am totally psyched. I love the Christmas season and all that comes with it. Don't get all "Arg, Mariah! You have to remember the reason for the season!", because I assure you I do indeed remember it. Ya'll know it too... Our Savior, Jesus Christ coming to us as a wee little baby? Yuppers! Told ya I knew it and you did too! =P Anyways...

I'm doing a little Advent thing with my sister. She got the supplies to make a paper chain. A whole series of purple strips with Bible verses and a thing to do that day that corresponds with the verse. =) It is actually really fun. I end up looking forward to her bring the paper strip to me so that we can read the verse(s) together and then talk about them. =) Actually... I can't wait for her to bring me the verses each day! Hehe. Now I'm just uber excited! ^_^ *ahem* Okay. Calm down, self.

Anyways. The tree was up. And then our 8 year old lights shorted out. So we bought new ones. And we took the tree all apart. And we started putting up the new lights. And then we discovered a large section of the new lights was burnt out. So we went back to Sam's today to buy more/new-new lights. ^_^ Hehe. All the flat surfaces in the living room were covered in ornaments; we even brought in a table for some of them. =D Last night as I was leaping off the couch into the kitchen, I actually knocked over a few ornaments. =P Good thing they were just wooden! =P Anyways... Everything is up and prettyful! The tree looks even better than before! ^_^

Tomorrow Jake is gonna like... Put up some outside lights. =D This is highly exciting but also highly annoying since he already put some up but they too all shorted out and died... =P Arg! =P Ah well. He puts up lights, I cook supper and tidy up the living room... =) It's all good. =P

I need to do some Christmas shopping. This year I drew ED's name... =D So yeah. It is really cool cause we all drew the name of our roommates. =D I have no idea what to get Em though... I mean... Ugh. She is always kinda hard to buy for... It almost makes me wish that I was buying for Jake or something! Sheesh! =P But... I'm sure I'll come up with a loverly something--eventual-like. =P

As for me... =P I'm still working on a list... I feel kinda crummy making a lost of things I want for Christmas... But at the same time I feel like I want to tell mummy what I want... It is mostly stuff that I'd kinda need either way... Like a rain coat and boots. =P But I'm being frivilous too, so no worries there. ;)

Anyways... Another one of my posts becoming a mess and a ramble... Oi...
