Christmas is coming!!!

I'm so excited Christmas is coming!  A few months ago I dreaded Christmas season this year because I saw it as finals time, projects coming due, papers to write, and graduation.  Now, however, I realize that I will be done with most of my course work by Dec. 6th which leaves me a few weeks to enjoy Christmas.  I also realized that I only have one actual final to take and the papers and projects I have to do are not as big a deal as I thought they were going to be.  This is a great final semester for me!  After this semester I will have no school until May (assuming I get accepted to grad school)!  That makes Christmas even more exciting to me!  I don't have to rush around getting Christmas decorations taken down and getting my house clean to start school in January.  I am really looking foward to spending some quality time with my family.  I will have to work more than I do now but at least I will not have the stress of assignments hanging over my head.  I love Christmas!  I love the decorations and being snowed in or iced in and baking and eating and christmas songs and kids being on break and spending time with friends and family and everything else that entails Christmas!
