The Christmas Break

Now is the time where everyone is finally free from all the stress of school, and the stress of holiday greetings and "gay happy meetings" can occur.

This year hasn't been too stressful, although I do celebrate Christmas and all, it hasn't felt very Christmas-y. Other than the fact that every time I go over to my best friends house she has decorations everywhere, except for her room I just realized, and has Christmas music blaring in her car. Her family is very festive and cheerful around this time of year.

I've been visiting with them for the last couple of days this week/weekend, and it's been quite enjoyable.

We got to see the hobbit  and some other uncanny creatures at the theater. Haha, and we spent a day in the rain while I played as the third-wheel. (On the bright side, the dude had a heart and bought both mine and my best friends dinner...of course he didn't have to, but it was kind of a packaged deal.)

The best part about this weekend was Ashville. We went up into the mountainous regions and took a tour of some large houses, and got to enjoy a really great gingerbread house competition. The children's houses were quite cute and comical, and really creative as well. Then the adult gingerbread houses were decked out to the very detail. So many details, it had to of taken them months to create it. Can you even imagine the stress, not to mention the blood, sweat and tears!

Truthfully, the week started out great, then weakened and became almost a cry fest, but wound itself back up to the top again in the end. I swear, teenage girls and idiotic teenage boys should not know of each others existence until a specific age. Maybe that's a bit over rated, but it would cut down on the "boy drama" quite and bit and no girls would be cat fighting over who the boy likes better.

"O if only in a fairy tale..."

So, here I am. Sitting in my freezing room not really waiting or planning for anything on this wet and dreary Christmas Eve. I've already seen it snow once, but none of it stuck to the ground to create a winter wonderland. I wasn't too disappointed, because snow comes and goes just like people. It's in its own form. Some you see plainly, and others are hidden away in the mix of all the rest. Little white crystals of snow.

Well, whatever you celebrate, or even if you don't, I hope you all have a very wonderful day today and tomorrow. And I will catch you all on the flip side! :)
