Christmas is in the air.

Christmas is coming awfully fast this year.  I've been trying my best not to think about it, just so it would seem like it's coming faster.  So far, my method has been pretty successful.  Sometimes, I slip, and have a happy thought about Christmas and I get an explosion of butterflies in my stomach.  I need to withhold for just a little while longer. Less than a month!

I'm ready for Christmas.  I'm ready to be out of school for a long time.  I'm SO ready to not have to worry about school for a few weeks.  I'm ready to stay home by the fire, play with my friends and go sledding.  I'm SO ready to not have to worry about school for a few weeks.   I'm ready for a new year.

This year has has it's ups and downs.  I think I've gone through both the best and the worst times of my life in the same year.  Even though, it wasn't fun to go through hard things, I'm grateful to have the experience and be a year wiser than I was in 2009.   I've uncovered many things about myself this year and I'm loving it.  It really helps to know who you are, in more than one way.

This is kind of a premature New Years post, but I thought I might as well say it while it was on my mind.

I just have to get through the next 3 weeks of school, and then Christmas is practically here.

Think Happy Stuff.

And now, we wait.

Love, Ben.
