I'm listening to As Time Goes by from Casablanca. I know Casablanca isn't a Christmas movie, but for some reason this song reminds me of Christmas...like it should be in It's a Wonderful Life or something.
It doesn't quite feel like the holidays yet. Perhaps it's because it was in the seventies just last week. I'm starting to get there though. Thanksgiving's in a few weeks, and I'm going to Madison to see my sister this year. It's going to be my first Thanksgiving away from my parents...not to mention my first time traveling by myself. I'm excited for two reasons. First, I haven't seen my sister since March, and I am in desperate need of some sister time. I'm ready to laugh over dumb things until my stomach and cheeks hurt for a few days :) Second, Thanksgiving marks a whole month and then some of Christmastime. I love Christmastime! There's so many great things about it. Just to name a few:
*Obviously it marks the birth of the Savior
*Family
*Old movies and musicals
*Christmas trees
*Snow
*Sledding
*Christmas candy, cookies, and chocolates
*Pumpkin pie
*Christmas shopping
*Christmas music
*Hot chocolate
*Sitting by a fireplace
*Twinkling lights and decorations everywhere
*Break from school/work
*Snowangels, snowmen, and snow forts
*Sweaters, scarves, and mittens
*The end of one year and the beginning of a next
*Celebrations
*Watching the ball drop
*Memories
*Gingerbread houses
*Wrapping presents
*People filled with holiday spirit
*Sigh* I can't wait :)
