I wish that I had a camera to capture my magical Christmas living room, but at the same time I know a camera would make all of our hard work look cheesy and very college cheap. BUT despite what a picture would do to it -- if you were sitting here on my couch next me it would be perfect for you as well. I'll try to describe it for you!
Our little two foot Christmas tree is aglow in the corner. Its got the cutest bulbs on it -- little spheres of silver, matte red, and shiny red! My roommate Tess added a troll tree topper and some other ornaments. We put two strings of multi-color lights around the top of three-ish walls. The extension cord is hanging down from the lights awkwardly against the wall. There is a string of tinsel around the lamp! And I'm listening to pop-stars sing carols in a really really corny way! I love it!
Stacey, Amanda, and I are going to finish the rest of our decorating later tonight! We're making a Christmas mural (basically we're painting butcher paper to look like a fireplace with a fire in it), and we're going to wrap our door and put a giant bow on it! I'm so excited for this Christmas season!
You can always feel a special spirit all over the place during Christmas. We had this great lesson on charity at FHE last night and I just feel so inspired by all my FHE members! I'm just going to go start serving everyone in sight! :) Then tonight my home teachers came over to move our furniture to make room for our Christmas mural! It was so sweet of them! So I guess the lesson learned is that even though I complain about this ward a lot -- it isn't the worst place after all!
I just have to make it through these last few weeks of tests and and projects and I'll be home free!! Christmas-time is the BEST TIME OF THE YEAR!
