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?

I am losing my mind
Last night I went to bed with pajama pants, a long sleeve shirt, my hair in a tight braid, and my alarm for 6:30.
This moring I woke up at 7:15, in pajama pants and a tank top, and with my hair completely down.
I have no recollection of what happened.
I think this is how old people feel.
This better not be a glimpse into my future.

A Birthday Letter
Dear Erin Lou,
Do you remember that day when you performed an interpretive dance for me? I think I knew then that that crazy girl in my new ward would become one of my best friends. We have had a lot of great times together, like efy, and just hanging out in your kitchen speed drinking water and recording ourselves doing all sorts of stupid things. We should probably never wantto blackmail each other, because we could do some damage with all the embarrassing stuff we know about each other and do together. I like that we are in the same ward, actually I love it, because even though life has gotten crazy this year, we are guaranteed to play with each other at least once a week. I am so grateful that we are friends, and that you acted weird and danced for me that first time at young womens. When we go off to college, let's not stop being us. We need to pledge to play at least once a month. Sometimes you can come to SUU and then I can come to Dixie. It will work, we will make it work. Well, I love you quite a bit and am once again grateful that we are friends. Happy birthday!
Love,
Kenal Celeste
Oh, and P.S. You should buy something off of an infomercial now that you are legal.
