Christmas, it is the time of year that we all love. It is the time of presents and hot chocolate, the time of snow and no school. It is the time of year when people are supposed to be at their best. The time of year that we are supposed to be focused on Christ.
Instead people are disgruntled and unhappy. They are more concerned with themselves than the one who gave them everything. They are focused on what presents they will get, than the ones they have already received... from HIM.
In these last few days before Christmas, let's remember the real reason for this holiday. Let us put aside our typical attitude and embrace a more Christlike one. It will make this time of year better, and it will make us better also.

Date Night
Typically on a Friday night you will find me in one of two places: at home, being lazy, or behing a cash registar at work.
Tonight was a bit different.
Tonight I had a date.
I was picked up from my house at six thirty. We went to Costa Vida and used our student I.D. cards to get the saturday special on a Friday night. Then we went to Macey's where we had a light saber fight. I bought one of those light sabers. Then we went back to my house and drew pictures of Yoda. I claimed credit for the better one. Then we went to a party of a person we barely knew. It was really awkward at first, but got slightly better. We texted each other the whole time at the party. After the appropriate amount of time had passed, we left to go watch the house with the dancing Christmas lights, but once we got there, the lights turned off for the night. So we drove around trying to find a house with pretty lights that we could look at. The whole time we were driving around we were singing Christmas songs very loudly, and very badly. Then we found a good house. Some of the lights even blinked, so we were going to pretend they were dancing to the music. Then right after we pulled over to park, those lights turned off. So instead we went to a house by mine and sat out front listening to Christmas music. Then it was time for both of us to go home. So I was dropped of at 11:50.
You could say it was a good night, and you would be right.
Who needs boys when you have best friends like mine?
