As December continues, it becomes the time to put up holiday decorations, be with those we love, and spread a little bit of joy here and there. We always have a choice this time of year. You can deliver yourself into the madness of the holiday season, or you can wind down and really take time to actually understand what the holidays mean to you...
During the holidays I find that I really start to focus on those people that I am blessed enough to call my friends and family. Each year there is someone who comes into my life and makes a lasting impression. The older I get the more I realize life is not about the things you accumulate, but about the connections you make and how well you care for them.
Today was my day of finals. Needless to say I have been super stressed due to papers, test, and group projects. All I needed was a little pick me up... when I got home I was welcomed with a wonderful little surprise. The fantastic Buchanans (an amazing family that I have come to know recently) sent me a little Christmas package. Now we've all heard of the "12 days of Christmas". Growing up some of my friends families celebrated this little tradition and I was always so envious... A single gift each day on the 12 days before Christmas. Well, they graciously invited me to join in on their family tradition this year and I am so excited about it! They are truly such sweet people with such great hearts! Thank you so much for being so good to me and for bringing me some sort of sanity and a little bit of joy today! You guys are wonderful!
