Anyone that knows me well, knows that I LOVE THE HOLIDAYS! My favorite time of year is from Halloween to New Years Eve. I love the parties, the music, the decorations (of course!) and most of all the spirit of the season. Everyone just seems to be happier and nicer in general. I start my Christmas music now the week of Thanksgiving, and that's all I listen to until after Christmas. It drives Jason a little bonkers, but that's ok, haha! I've got the house almost fully decorated, and I'm so excited this year about our tree. We bought it for close to 75% off last year the week after Christmas and it's pre-lit with white lights. I love it! I also found some great deals at Home Depot last year on Christmas decor, (thanks DEZ!). It's so fun to see what I can find right after Christmas for the following year.
Ang and the kids have been in town, and we have had such a fun time! She took some pics of me and J last week, and I really appreciate her. I should have our Christmas card mailed out in a few days, and every year I look forward to everyone's Christmas cards and pictures.
This will be the first Christmas without my grandma. I have missed her so much, and I think about her all the time. She is one of my most favorite people in the world. She always made Christmas special for us kids. I will be missing her terribly.
My anesthesia lab is almost over for this semester, and it's been very interesting. For the most part it's been great, but we have a few "cry babies" in the class. One in particular - SO DRAMATIC! Just buck up, and take it in the mouth! haha. They have to give each other injections every Wed. and it takes me back to my days in school. What a time! The semester is over in January, and then my little babies will be in their LAST semester before they graduate as hygienists! I think this class will always be special to me because I started with them on their first day on my first day as an instructor. We will be welcoming a brand new class in Feb. to start it all over again. Wow!
I hope everyone is well and that this Christmas season will be happy and bright for all!

Hilary, please. You know you want to invite me to read your blog, you just haven't mustered up the courage to ask. Well let me make things a whole lot easier for you: go ahead and add me to your list of readers. See, that wasn't so hard, was it?
I just want to say that I have not received a Christmas card from you. And my feelings are hurt. I might start crying again at church if I don't get one!
I'm just saying.
Your Christmas card is so pretty! Thanks for sending it. I really should start sending them out, but I tend to get overwhelmed. I really admire anyone who makes the effort! I totally agree about the holiday season from Halloween to New Years it's so fun, just a different spirit in the air. Merry Christmas.
