"I never understand when people say they're too full to eat any more. I mean, sometimes I'll say 'oh, I could not eat another bite', but only because it's considered socially acceptable."

May Your Days Be Merry and Bright
It's that time of year again!
The time when teachers realize they haven't taught you all that much and pile on the homework; when students lose all motivation to accomplish anything and spend their evenings playing Jerkface for hours on end. That's right, it's the end of the semester!
I jest (kind of). We all know what time of year it really is. And, oh boy, am I excited about it!
First off, thank you, parents, for the Christmas Tree and decorations. Jessica made a construction paper star for the top and it really completes the spirit of our apartment. This past Wednesday night, Jessica, Allisyn, and I made loads of paper snowflakes and chains to put around our apartment. We even have a countdown of Christ-related scriptures to the end of the semester. I find great joy every time I enter our home.
The only music we listen to these days are the Christmas albums of Justin Bieber and Michael Buble. I'm loving it. And I highly recommend Justin Bieber's version of Drummer Boy. Instant classic. Like Rebecca Black's Friday.
Last night, I went with three of my roommates to the BYU-Idaho Christmas Concert featuring the Symphony Orchestra, Men's and Women's Choirs, an a capella group called Vocal Union, and special guest Brian Stokes Mitchell concert (I'd never heard of him, but apparently he's a big deal). They were all so fantastic. Favourite song: Sleigh Ride arranged and sung by Brian Stokes Mitchell with both choirs and Vocal Union, accompanied by the full orchestra. (Yes, Mom, I did think of you.)
Tonight was the First Presidency Christmas Devotional! I'm sorry to say that I think this was only the second year that I've attended it. And the first that I haven't slept through it. But it was great!
And I'll be home in less than two weeks!
Merry Christmas!
