Winter Vacation

Winter Vacation

Hello Sweeties,

Guess what time of year it is? IT'S WINTER VACATION!!! This means more time to sleep, read, fan girl, sleep, drink tea, eat, and do absolutely nothing! It's heaven on Earth. Well it would be if I didn't have a bunch of stuff to do.  I've got homework, Christmas parties, basketball games, and simply hanging out with my friends. Which I guess is a good thing, I wouldn't want to become a hermit, now would I?

There are many things to do on your Christmas break. Whether it's relaxing, or something extreme, the holidays are always filled with fun. Here's a few suggestions, to stop yourself from becoming a hermit, like myself.

#1. ENJOY THE SNOW!!

Up here in Canada, snow is a guarantee. But it's up to you whether you want to go and use it or not. I, personally, love the snow!! So after a big storm I'm outside either sledding, building a snowman, or chucking snowballs at my Twin. (That's my favorite.) Winter is a true gift with all it's beauty. Before you know it, it'll be melted away. So don't take it for granted. Go for a nice walk, or sleigh ride, in a beautiful winter wonder land.

#2 SOCIALIZE!!!

I know, this one is a lot to ask, but we do need human interaction from time to time. A good way to do this is either go to, or invite someone over who you actually enjoy. Friends can be great for lots of things! From ranting, to freaking out, true friends are always there to support you, even when you're going insane! So please, don't just ditch them the entire winter break, hang out with them once in a while. It'll be good for you.

#3 THROW/ATTEND A CHRISTMAS PARTY!!!!

Now this is one thing you can only during the holiday season. Christmas parties are awesome (unless they're not). They always include three things: Food, Friends, and Christmas. It doesn't matter whether it's just one with your friend, or one with your family. They always manage to find some way to slip into holiday plans. But it's not a bad thing. Take these parties as a chance to get to know some one, make some friends, re-spark old friendships, or even meet someone new, under the mistletoe. ;)

So those are the three main things, that I myself do during the Christmas season. And as much as these things rock, you can't forget to save a bit of personal time for yourself. It's never fun if your body is too worn out to enjoy it. So don't forget to pull aside a few minutes of your day for a little R&R (Rest and Relaxation)

Wishing you Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year,

A Holly Jolly Return


Hello My Sweeties!


I am glad to announce that I have returned from my long, long break. This time for, hopefully, good. And what better timing? With the holidays coming just around the corner, I'll have more time on my hands then ever! YAY!!


Speaking of the holidays, who's excited for Christmas? I AM!!!!! You may not know this, but Christmas just happens to be my FAVOURTE holiday...like ever. I mean come on?! How can you hate it? There's snow, family, friends, food, laughing, embarrassing pictures from your childhood, and, oh yes, the egg nog. Christmas is the one time of the year where we all get together and get know each other all over again. Not mention relive all those wonderful, old memories with those you love. Yup! Christmas has be one of the most cheerful times of the year.




But as much as I love it, it does have it's cons. And I'm not talking about holiday bellies. I'm talking about the big S.C., Mr. HO HO HO. That's right. I'm talking about Santa Clause. Now you're probably thinking, "But who could hate Santa?!?" Calm down, dudes! I never said I hated the fellow, I'm just saying that he distracts from the big picture of Christmas! People get so caught up in making the best light show, and giving the best gift, and cooking the best meal, that they forget about their families. It can make anyone throw their hands in the air and yell "BAH HUM BUG!"


Of course we don't mean to be so forgetful, and competitive, but as time goes, it get's harder and harder to fight the temptation. Our generation is becoming one of greed, gluttony and pride. We're so caught up in the fancy lights, and huge presents, that we forget the true meaning of Christmas. We forget that Christmas isn't about the gifts or turkeys, or red and green lights, or a man in a red and white suit with some serious weight issues! It's about giving to others, not because you want them to give you something back, or because you have to, but because you want to. It's about making some one smile, or laugh just to make them happy. It's about helping out those in who have less then you. That's the true spirit of Christmas.


So this holiday season, I challenge all of you to do something good for someone in your community. Whether it's shoveling some ones drive way for free, or giving a goodie basket to your neighbour, or singing Christmas carols to the seniors at the local nursing home. Do something that makes someone smile. I think you'll find that you'll feel twice as good as when you entered! Now go, my little elves! Spread joy!


Merry Christmas to all! And to all a good night!....Or something like that :)
