In The Christmas Mood

So, as you can tell by the new background, I am very much in the Christmas mood. As I type this, I am surrounded by greenery, silvery glitter, and lots of old world Santas... Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree is blaring in the background - oh, wait - it just changed to Jingle Bell Rock. I love Christmas.

I just got back from decorating the school lobby with Peter, Mrs. Gillott, and three other Leo Club girls... hehe, I got to stand on the ladder and hang snowflakes from the ceiling, and decorate the Christmas tree, and hang lights... it was so much fun! I'm ready for hot chocolate, the nativity scene to come out, and Christkindl! I love Christmas!

Outside, the world is bleak,

There's not a flake of snow on the ground,

But the spirit's the thing we all love,

And you can see it all around.

Christmas carols are everywhere,

And it doesn't matter if you stay on pitch,

Because it's Christmas,

And everyone can sing without a hitch.

I can smell apple pie,

Christmas cookies in the oven,

Snowmen and trees and angels,

Baking by the dozen.

"Merry Christmas, Darling"

Is always in my heart

And I can't wait for the mistletoe

To be hung far above - from it, I'll not part.

In the air,

There's a feeling of joy,

A feeling of peace

For each girl and each boy.

And for those of us who know,

We are grateful for the thing

That, in this season,

Makes us sing.

We know Christ was born

To give us hope of a new day,

When together we will be

Forever and always.

We remember that He,

The Babe and the King,

Is our reason...

The only reason that we sing.
