Christmas

This is the first time that I have really had a hard time to get into the Christmas spirit. I blame it on the fact that all of the things that signal that Christmas are coming are not present. I put up the Christmas tree over break and the Christmas lights outside, but that's about it. I wasn't home when my mom baked Christmas cookies, didn't go to Holidays with Charisma, and I have certainly not seen the gifts (or lack thereof) under the tree. Sigh. Such is life.

However, I do have a Christmas tree in my room and the lights are sparkling. That helps me to stay motivated when I am studying for my finals. Yes, the finals are coming right around the corner. I have finals next week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Then I will be home, sweet home :)
