First off, to my friends who check my blog every day, sorry for being such a slacker :) There's something about Christmas break that makes all good intentions fly out the window. It's also amazing how much nothingness happens over break. I've been home about 6 full days now, and I could probably list on one hand the things I've done, haha. Anyways, I have been taking in everything about Christmas. I love catching up with friends and family. There's nothing like the holidays to bring people together. And Christmas movies! They're awesome, except the really cheesy ones. Have you ever noticed how many terrible Christmas movies are out there? Oh man, there are some that I just can't get through. If you want to see some great ideas on how to be a bad parent, or how to be stupid in love, just catch a Christmas movie. Ok, I'm probs being too harsh. I do love good Christmas movies. The other great (and sometimes not great) part of Christmas is the baking. My family has several treats that we bake every year and only at Christmastime. No matter what changes over the years, we can always count on our tastebuds being tingled with the same yummy-ness. This could start a whole other post on traditions and how life changes. Oh how I could wax eloquent, or not so eloquent. But for now I'll leave you with one thought. I recently read a blog post entitled "I learned that being a good person doesn't really matter." Do you let God's grace be completely sufficient for you? I know I don't always. I am so good at following the rules, but it's super hard for my heart to be involved. "Hey God, let me work for you, I can do it!" haha, nope, not how it works. So here's a little encouragement to spend some time basking in God's grace, knowing that you are accepted and loved only because Jesus came (yay Christmas!)
