'Tis the Season

Hi Readers!

I hope everyone had an awesome and fulfilling Turkey Day! If you're like me, you spent allll day yesterday shopping and today working out. 'Tis the season, right?

Well, as I have been home for a few days now, I am feeling rejuvenated and loving life. Spending time with my family always has a way of doing that for me. Just seeing smiles and hearing laughs from my family is such a heart warming time for me (because it hasn't always been that way with my family). Spending time away from college put a lot of things in perspective for me and really showed me how incredibly blessed my life is. Through the heartbreaks and obstacles that have been ever so prevalent since I started my sophomore year, this trip home was exactly what I needed :)

On an even more exciting note, it's Christmas season!! I am currently blasting Christmas music and singing along. What can I say, this time of year always puts me in the best of moods. Seriously, I'm like a little kid in a candy store. I have already been searching through pinterest and other websites to find new recipes that I would like to make for Christmas. To say the least, I am all about going all out for Christmas. What's your favorite recipe? Any recommendations? Feel free to email me :)

While Christmas trees, Santa, stockings, warm fires, hot cocoa, and Christmas lights are all a good time and should be enjoyed by all, it's always ingrained in my mind the true meaning of Christmas. Jesus has done so much for me throughout my life and continues to work in me today. This season is a time to give thanks to the man upstairs and glorify Him in all that we do. So while we're busy making plans and decorating our trees, it's always a good idea to set aside time to value the true meaning behind all of it.

Hohoho!
Embrace the holiday spirit :)
