Rocking Around the House

On Saturday night we went for a drive to see Christmas lights. Our neighborhood had more lights compared to everything else we saw. It seems like this year nobody is celebrating Christmas; or if they are, they are celebrating it for the wrong reasons.  I think everybody forgets what Christmas is really about: the birth of Christ.

There was one particular house that we saw that was unbelievable. The owners had their own radio station and the lights on the house would coordinate with the music. The music was classical with some rock edge to it, which I loved, and there lights would blink on and off according to the music. My favorite part of it was the little snowman and shark that were in the grass. The snowman had a chunk of his butt that was bitten off as he was trying to swim away from the shark that had bitten him. It was pretty hilarious. There was also a Santa Claus that was swinging in a hammock.

We also put our lights up yesterday, but it did not look as cool as that house. We have some blinking stars and a string of LED lights around the house, which looks really cool! It finally felt like we were in the holiday spirit yesterday from putting the lights up and the tree to all the baking we are doing.

'Tis the Season to be........

I love you Scooby Doo!

Ready! As the holidays are coming up, I have one thing to not look forward to during my two weeks of Christmas break. I get to study for my earth science exam!!! (<-*sarcasm*) Anybody who knows me, knows I do not like science at all. However, I have decided that I am going to study hard so I can ace that test!

As I was trying to finish up my lesson for health yesterday, I was hearing Shelby complain about how she has to go through one more test. She should feel so lucky! I would have rather finished up my finals and then take a break, instead of having to study through my break and take my finals afterwards.

As the end of the year is nearing, it feels like things are changing big time. Mom is going to be a full-time student-teacher right after Christmas break, which means that she’ll be waking me up at 7 every morning!!! That’s okay though, I get more things done in the mornings. Although, Wednesday I was very stubborn and did not want to get up! Mom had to literally pull me out of my bed and drag me out the door. Unfortunately because I was stubborn, karma decided to catch up with me. Because Mom had to drag me out of bed, I got a rug burn. Not fun!

The only thing that gets me in the holiday spirit is decorating cookies! We could decorate the house, inside and out, but I still will act like a scrooge. I don’t know what it is with decorating cookies, but it makes me happy! Choosing our favorite cookie cutters, rolling out the dough, and smelling them bake has to be the best part!

Merry Christmas!
