christmas.

something about this season warms my heart. i love it. all the traditions must be kept. even if they aren't too much fun.

i make my mom buy eggnog, and drink out of these certain glasses. honestly, i don't really enjoy eggonog. it's the mere idea of it. you must join me in this tradition. turn the ligths down low, sit on a big comfy couch, turn the white lights on the tree on, and listen to the christmas music in the background. my preferred song you ask?

Tears are falling, hearts are breaking
How we need to hear from god
Youve been promised, weve been waiting
Welcome holy child
Welcome holy child

Hope that you dont mind our manger
How I wish we would have known
But long awaited holy stranger
Make yourself at home
Please make yourself at home

Bring your peace into our violence
Bid our hungry souls be filled
World now breaking heavens silence
Welcome to our world
Welcome to our world

Fragile finger sent to heal us
Tender brow prepared for thorn
Tiny heart whose blood will save us
Unto us is born
Unto us is born

So wrap our injured flesh around you
Breathe our air and walk our sod
Rob our sin and make us holy
Perfect son of god
Perfect son of god
Welcome to our world


This song is a beautiful piece w/ just voice and piano. the lyrics are great...and give the view of why Christmas is such a special time. God's son sent into the world to die for us. This tiny and perfect baby will grow into a perfect man whose blood will save us. amazing. moves my heart to worship. listen to this song if you can....preferrably w/ a glass of eggnog, a fire, and a lit christmas tree. w/ family would be fairly sweet to.

during this season...my longing for my own family emerges even greater w/n me. but i don't want to write about that. but...that desire definitely lives on.

man.. I definatly hit the eggnogg.. but it's hard. Sometimes my mom buys the lite eggnogg and that's not so great. Still, I love it.

Oh, and my all time favorite Christmas song is "All I want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey. That song rox.

I've never had eggnog? What does it taste like? Hopefully not rear.

I don't know what my favorite Christmas song is; I really like Silver Bells, though.

I remember I was in Iowa at Christmas time last year for Lindsay's wedding. I'm going to miss that. I'll miss being amazed by the snow. Pretty sure Texas won't be a blizzard.
