it's here! well, almost. 5 days until Christmas. the stockings are hung, the tree is lighted and covered with all the embarrassing school art project ornaments my siblings and i have ever made, and we have enough snow for 3 white christmases. but what really makes it feel like christmas is finally here: the eggnog. we didn't buy any before this week because it's ridiculously high in calories and anything else that could make me fat. but i love it anyway.
last night i started on christmas gifts. i make the ones for my friends and this year, they're gorgeous! i have no idea how i'm going to transport them, but hopefully gift bags will do the trick :)
tonight is the choir christmas concert at my school. i'm in the top choir, so we sing 6 songs plus a mass piece with all the choirs. it's a good night. the christmas concert is always packed. as opposed to our other concerts which have minimal attendance of parents. everyone loves this concert though. i know that after i graduate, i'll still want to come and hear the music. it's a beautiful service because they read Bible verses and sing hymns and stuff between choirs. my favorite songs this year are a cool arrangement of go tell it on the mountain and our mass piece, peace peace. peace peace is cool because the sopranos and altos break into 2 part harmony while the basses and tenors sing silent night underneath us. as we sing they dim the lights little by little so that by the end the only lights still on full blast are the crosses on either side of the stage. it's a wonderful way to end a beautiful concert :)
christmas is getting so close. it came up so fast. will my whole life go by this fast? when you're little, everything feels like it goes so slow and takes forever to grow up. but now, as i get older, life is a speeding bullet and it's all i can do to hang on. i'm not saying that i don't enjoy my life, because i do, but i look back at this semester and it feels like last weekend i was getting ready for homecoming with my friends but that was like 3 months ago.
