Silver Bells
December 19th, 2008
It’s everywhere now. All the lights, trees, snow, and crazed shoppers trying to buy last minute gifts for that special someone. Yup, Christmas is almost here.
Oh and it’s also bitter cold.
But I’m enjoying it. My sister has flown out from Alberta for the holidays, which is wonderful. And I’m looking forward to a nice few weeks of vacation starting next Tuesday. As I said before, this will be my last white Christmas with the family for a while, so I’m going to make the most of it.
Tomorrow should be a fun day. I’m heading out with the missionaries to help teach at least one of their investigators. And later in the evening we’re having a ward Christmas party. I hear Santa’s going to be there! maybe I can sit on his knee, haha.
In other news, I finally got our Christmas letter all written up and sent out to our far-away family and friends. Quite an achievement for us. Though I’ve got no idea what’ll happen next year when I’m gone. Hopefully someone will take the initiative to send another one. Mind you, I don’t think it’ll look quite so nice if yours truly didn’t design it — but you can be the judge. (Assuming you get a letter…)
My mission preparation and study is moving along. Though I’ve still got lots to do! Including:
- Buy suits/clothing
- Buy a bike
- Get tickets to Utah
- Fill out and send back the forms from my mission president
That last one should be done very soon, I’ve put it off a little too long methinks.
Merry Christmas everyone!
