Christmas Eve in Minneapolis!
December 24, 2005
Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to everyone! It is Christmas Eve and I am back home in Minneapolis. It is nice to be home, especially being able to relax and see all my friends and family, but I miss school! I miss all my friends and just being there, but I don't miss all the studying and homework, so it's nice to have a break. And I can't believe tomorrow is Christmas already! It doesn't feel like it should be here already. Usually the anticipation of waiting to open all my presents and seeing them underneath our beautiful Christmas tree makes it seem like Christmas will never come, and you can't wait for it to come. But we didn't get our tree till this Tuesday! And so the presents weren't underneath the tree for that long, and I haven't been home for that long either and so it just doesn't feel like it should be Christmas already. But it is exciting and waking up Christmas morning is my favorite thing ever!
And tonight we are going to church to the 11 o'clock service. It's really fun because we sing a lot of Christmas carols and all light candles and I get to see everyone from church for the first time in 4 months as well!
And I finished all of my Christmas shopping today! I have never had to go shopping on Christmas Eve to get all my shopping done, but I decided to wait till I got home to buy everything so I've been doing it this week, and didn't finish until today! But it was fun, I love shopping, especially Christmas shopping.
A few of my friends and I went back to our old high school last week to say hi to our old teachers and see some students. It was nice to see them and see how everyone is doing. It was a little weird being back, just because we haven't been there in so long and it felt weird to not be a student for once! But it was fun, and then we went out to lunch afterwards!
And I am working a lot too, babysitting, and working a little at 2 other jobs that I used to work at, and making some money so that I can pay for all these Christmas presents and have some money to go to see lots of movies and stuff while I'm home! There are so many movies that I want to see it's crazy!
Well we're about to have dinner so I must go, but I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday and I'll write again next week! xoxo -Hannah :)
