Thought this picture was cute, which one are you?

Well, Christmas break is over, it's back to school again tomorrow. Back to early mornings, teachers, binders and homework. And to tell you the truth, I'm kinda bummed out about it. This next month of January is exam and summative month, which equals stress and lots of work. Also, I really like having the whole day to just relax and have fun with family and friends. Though I knew these two weeks would soon come to an end.

It's interesting though, I'm really looking forward to February. That's when semester two begins. That means new classes with new people and new teachers. It's almost like a new school year, a new start. February is also the month of my birthday, my 16th birthday! So even though I don't look forward to January, I have to just take it as it comes in order for February to come.

So right now, I just ask God to help me. For Him to help me to be more happy and thankful for school and everything that comes with it. And to help me stick to my new year's resolutions. Especially the ones about not procrastinating, and living a bold courageous life for Him. ♥

Heigh ho, heigh ho, it's back to school I go ...

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

Chirtsmas Poem

Christmas is 'round the corner,

Christmas is almost here,

Christmas is very close,

Christmas is oh, so near.

Christmas brings many smiles,

Christmas brings lots of lights,

Christmas brings people together,

Christmas brings snowy nights.

Christmas began with an answer,

Christmas began with a sacrifice,

Christmas began with Jesus,

Christmas began with Christ.

Christmas

This special holiday may seem so far away to even think about, or it may be something that has been on your mind a lot. Christmas has been in my head for a while. When you think of Christmas, what is the first thing you think of? A christmas tree? Presents? Santa claus? Snow? Well, sadly, many of us do.

Have we all forgotten the real purpose for celebrating Christmas? Maybe the first 6 letters might be a clue? Christ! Jesus Christ! The world has been changing the reason for this special celebration. It has been turning this happy, miraculous time into something greedy and silly.

Where did this random, fat, jolly santa dude come from? Who ever thought up the idea about a white-bearded old man visiting every child in their sleep to give them gifts? Or what about Rudolph? A reindeer with a bright red nose that flies? Kids get so caught up about writing to santa, putting out cookies and milk, and making wish lists, that they completely forget about the true meaning of Christmas.

Christmas is a time to give. Give to others as God has given to us. He sent His son to die for us! Now is that awesome or what? I think it'is a great gift! So giving to others isn't bad, but the thing is, people start to focus on receiving gifts more than the gift we have received! On Christmas day, as you open a gift, or play in the snow, keep in mind the true meaning of Christmas.
