The Holidays

Christmas has passed and all the hustle and bustle of the holidays is over. Although, until New Years the season still lingers and the holiday hasn't yet disappeared. You're off school and with your family and that's the most important thing. My Christmas was very nice this year, my three past Christmases consisted of my grandpa getting sick and having to go home, my grandma being in the ER, and my whole family getting the flu on Christmas. This year NOTHING bad happened and my family and I had a wonderful time. We got to spend time together and even see a musical the day after Christmas. My Christmas was great and here's some things I loved about it.

The one thing I really look forward to in the Holiday season is going to the Washington D.C Mormon Temple with my friends. My friend is Mormon and she takes us to see the dazzling lights and Christmas festivities. It always puts us in the Christmas spirit and ends up being a fantastic night. 

We have an amazing Holiday Spectacular show at my school and my friends and I always have such an awesome experience performing in it. Even though it can be really stressful, we always have a show that's to die for. Who doesn't love singing and dancing in candy cane dresses?

Vintage ornaments and decorating the tree is always one of my favorite things to do at Christmas time. I even have a little silver tree in my room where I put my own vintage ornaments on. There's something about the ornaments that just makes them so different from the rest of our other ones, I guess you could say I have a love for old things.

This was me heading to Christmas Day mass, going to church is a Holiday tradition in our family and it always brings me to the true meaning of Christmas. You always get caught up in the material things and bustle of the season that you sometimes lose sight of what the holiday all really comes down too. 

Seeing Elf the musical was a present I received on Christmas which I really enjoyed. Let's just say I might be a tad bit obsessed with Elf..okay a lot. 

Even though gifts aren't the important part of the Holiday...I do have a really great time gathering around the tree and opening presents with my family. I'm so fortunate to have such a loving and giving family.  

As I'm writing this on New Years Eve, I hope you all had a magical Christmas or whatever Holiday you celebrate. Sadly, I'll be spending my NYE on the couch because of my wisdom teeth surgery, but I'm still very excited about 2016! Hopefully this year I will get to blog more than I have been. Thank you all for reading my rambles!
