Ah!
It's already almost Christmas, which means it's already almost 2010, which means we're already almost done highschool!AHUNIVERSITY
Isn't it odd how quick things come and go. I swear it feels like yesterday I was walking through Sinclair for the first time, and now we'll be walking through the halls for our last time (hopefully) in a few months. 2009 alone has gone by so fast, it's ridiculous, it's kind of bad, everything sort of seems like a blur. I'm afraid the rest of my life is going to be like this, and before I know it, BAM my youth is gone! :(
As for the near future, I really am quite excited for Christmas, i'm decorating my house tomorrow which for the first time i'll do so willingly. The past two years Christmas has crept up on me, and I haven't quite enjoyed it, I'm hoping that if i get into that Christmas might be more exciting. I really don't care about the gifts, just more so the wonder and tradition of it all.
It was until recently did I actually realize how important tradition is. It gives you something to look forward to, and just get excited about. Without traditions, our society would be very boring!
Anyways, I keep jumping from topic to topic, thats when I know I need to stop writing.
I hope you all are getting excited for the holidays, eggnog/candycanes/nutcrackers/garland ftw. :3

I like this post. Its simple and relatable.
ReplyDeleteI like the line 'I really don't care about the gifts, just more so the wonder and tradition of it all.' because I definitely can relate to that. My family and i have had Christmas traditions ever since my sisters and i were little, (we watch a Christmas movie every year on Christmas Eve before we go to bed), and although i feel as though i'm getting too old for it, I still find myself looking forward to it year after year.
With such a busy holiday schedule its nice to have a tradition to bring the family together. Even if it is just a cheesy Christmas movie.
Nice work. Maybe talk about some of your traditions? Just a suggestion.
I like this post aswell
ReplyDeleteI like how you talked about the furture and your concerns of getting older.
I agree with rebecca that it is simple, but its straigt to the point, which i like.
good post van
This is a cute and relatable post.
ReplyDeleteYou made it just a short and sweet kind of tale that we can all nod our heads to.
The informal tone is good for this :D
'I really don't care about the gifts, just more so the wonder and tradition of it all.
ReplyDeletei can really relate to this too
i think its something about being in grade 12 that does it to us.. so looking forward to the break, just for teh sense of having a break, time to spend with family. this was really short and sweet. simple and to the point. it was very effective for that reason. it almost leaves us wanting more - which is exactly how in my opinion it should be left.
This has made me so excited about christmas! I have had my tree up & decorations since November 1st... I know...my mom is a Christmas freak!!Your point about `without traditions our society would be very boring`is a great thought. We don`t think too much about our tradtitions, but they really do make life so much fun&give us something to look forward to! I really like your casual tone & outlook on christmas, it was well written and relatable for everyone
