Holly Jolly Christmas

Can you imagine if this had happened when you were out eating at the mall?

What a great way to invite the Christmas spirit. 

it gives me the chills...

I hope you all have a Merry Merry Christmas!

And remember the true meaning of tonight, and tomorrow. 

The fancy dinner you have really does not matter, 

or what you'll wear tonight, 

it doesn't even matter that you may only get 1 gift.

What's important is the time that we share with our families,

giving, loving, laughing

and

enjoying the little simple things we have.

And if  you're religious, today is the time to remember our Savior's birth and all that he has done for us. 

Have a joyous time! 

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas! 

Back From Cali

So I'm back from my trip to California and I had so much fun!  It's always good to leave your home state for awhile don't you agree? I wish I could have stayed longer but I had to come back to my normal life.

I ate soooo much food in California! I always eat a ton during the holidays.  My boyfriend's family is all Mexican just like me and so we had yummy, delicious, homemade posole, tamales, carnitas, bunuelos, ponche, and all that good stuff.  We partied like there was no tomorrow.  We love dancing.  It's a big part of our culture and so on Christmas Eve, after we had eaten, we danced the night away.  We were having so much fun that we didn't make it to bed until 6:00 o'clock in the morning!  :) 

I love my boyfriend's family.  They are super funny!  And I love spending time with them.  The only thing that I didn't like about the trip is that we really didn't go visit any places, which was a little bit of a bummer.  I wish we could have had more time to go play around in Cali but maybe next year there will be time for that.   I still had fun! We might be going back to go to Disneyland and I can't wait.  I've never been to Disneyland so I'm totally excited for that. 

I hope you all had a blast Christmas Day!

California Here I Come

I'm all packed and ready to go to California!! Yippeee!  I didn't go to bed last night until like about 1 a.m.  I was too busy wrapping gifts, deciding on what outfits I was going to be taking, and just packing.  And I also didn't want to go to bed until I had finished ironing my blouses and jeans.  Yep, you read that right.  I iron my jeans.  I've heard that many people don't iron jeans and I find that odd.  Hmm... anywho, I'm totally ready and anxious to get on the road! It seems like we won't be leaving until like 1 a.m or 2 a.m though, since we have to wait for my boyfriend's uncle to get off of work.  We kind of have to wait for uncle because him and his wife, Tia Dany, and their kids are coming with us.  It snowed today and I really hope that the roads aren't too icy.   

Well, I hope you all have a good time with your families.  Have fun!  Remember the true meaning of Christmas.   And have a Merry Merry Christmas!!!!!!

P.S I forgot to tell you some good news...  I got 84.5% on my Chemistry final and that is some awesome news!!! My wish came true! Thank you Santa! My final grade might just be a B- or a B.  Hoooray!

Christmas Is Almost Here

Today I woke up thinking that I was late for school and then I realized that I was done with the semester! Hooray! I am totally enjoying my Christmas Break! I'm super excited for tomorrow because I get to go to California for Christmas! :)  We are going to have sooo much fun!  My boyfriend's family is super fun and they know how to make Christmas super delicious.  So I will probably come back with a few extra pounds in me. LOL.

So this weekend I went shopping for some Christmas gifts.  I was really good this year because I have the habit of shopping for gifts the day before Christmas.  I'm improving.  Since none of my family reads my blog (because I don't think they even know I have a blog),  I think it's safe for me to say what I got them.  I went to Big 5 and got my brothers those 20-in-1 game tables where you can play Foosball, air hockey, and a bunch of other fun games.  I hope they like it!  And for my mom, I really had no clue what to get her so I went the easy way and got her a JCPenney gift card.  I know, not very creative and maybe a liiitle pathetic, but hey she likes to shop there a lot; I figured that she should be able to choose what she wants.  For grandma I got this cute sweater I liked and a dish thing to place yummy cakes (since I broke the one she use to have).  My dad lives in Mexico and so I thought it would be better to just send him money since he happens to be out of work right now.  My boyfriend and I also picked up some nice watches for his grandparents and I can't wait to give it to them.  All I have left to do is wrap presents. :)

I'm all ready for Christmas! How about you?

Dear Santa Claus

It's that time of the year again! The time when families come closer together.  Sparkling, colorful nights and beautifully decorated homes.  Uplifting Christmas carols playing in cars.  Big smiles on little kids' faces as they make gingerbread houses.  Yep.  It's a sign that the Holidays are here.  Christmas is only 1 week and 4 days away!

For many years I haven't asked for a single thing.  I know; I'm weird.  There's nothing really that my little heart desires because I have everything I need.  I'm very fortunate you see.  I have good health.  I have a roof over my head and food on the table.  I have a job.  I have a great family.  A wonderful boyfriend that takes care and looks out for me.  Friends that make me smile everyday.  What more can I ask for?

Well. This year I actually do have one thing that I would love for Christmas.  And it's a bit on a last notice so I hope that you can help me make my wish come true.  As you know, the school semester is almost over and finals are here.  Tomorrow I have a very important final.  A Chemistry final, and the one that I'm really freaking out on.  I have done my part and studied as much as I possibly could.  Chemistry is a hard subject for me.  And all I want for Christmas is to get a B on the final.  (An A would be even better but that's expecting too much.)  That's all I'm asking for. I don't want a nice car, a mac, or more clothes.  I just want to get a good grade please.  In return, I will try to be a better person this coming year. 

Thank you so much Santa

With Love,

Grace
