A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol
By Charles Dickens

This is the second Christmas that I've read A Christmas Carol. Not much can really be said, other than that you should make it a Christmas tradition, too. Its not an easy read. Meaning, its wordy and at times hard to follow. The writing style isn't very modern... obviously. But its stil a great book, and it will remind you why you're really celebrating the season.

Right now I'm reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer. It's pretty long, so I was originally expecting it to take me awhile to finish. But so far, I'm loving it and I'm finding time that I may not necessarily have to get through it. It proves that Stephenie Meyer is way more than just Twilight. But I'll let you know more about it when I finish!

Christmas Catch-Up

My New Year's resolution is to keep up on my blog.
I'm not doing well...
Anyway, very quickly, here's a photo summary of Christmas 2010.






And finally.. cookies!

Looks A Lot Like...

I know I keep saying I'm going to update more.. I promise eventually I will. Maybe I'll make it my New Years resolution.
Anyway, I've been enjoying my couple weeks off so far. Even though I don't think I can be considered officially "off" if I'm still working every day.. But, thankfully, yesterday, today, and until the day after Christmas I am really OFF. No school, no work, (unless you count the slave work my mother forces on me), until the day after Christmas.
But between all the work, wrapping, and cleaning, I really have been relaxing. In just a little bit, we will be leaving for Ohio to see some family. So here's a quick update on the Christmas highlights from the last few weeks!
First, here's some pictures of the lovely door that a few of my friends and I created for VTI's door decorating contest. We didn't win, but it was still tons of fun.





The snowflakes are courtesy of my friend, Janice, who should clearly make paper snowflakes professionally.



And here's a taste of our Christmas decorations this year. They make me cheerful!









Hope everyone is enjoying Christmas time and they're break if they're lucky enough to get one!
