12 Days 'til Christmas!

That's right, today was officially 12 DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS! It's time (if you haven't already) to bring out those decorations, scavenge for those Christmas classics, (*cough cough *The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, maybe even A Nightmare Before Christmas, or Gremlins,) hang up some lights, and crank your radios to stations where you can enjoy Christmas tunes all the way from the "Jingle Bell Rock" to "Yule Shoot Your Eye Out."

Even if you don't celebrate Christmas this is a wonderful time to be with family and be grateful for everything you have. If you're moping around, or in other words not on this seasonal high, please get it together! Bake some cookies, call up a friend, watch a great Disney! I don't know, just don't sulk, this is a time for cheer! So please, if you're down, cheer up and if you're um...up? then great. I hope that everyone has a wonderful Holiday Season, and a Happy New Year!

Those of you who are going to be out shopping and in a lot of traffic, please be careful! Drive safe and be patient. It's annoying to hear but it's "better safe than sorry."

That's almost all I wanted to share for now other than the fact that I can't wait for this week to finish, then Christmas break will have officially started! Have a Merry Christmas everyone!

p.s.
Just a quick note. I finished Emma. I loved it so much (Jane Austen rocks! definitely recommend you read some of her work) that I decided to re-read Pride and Prejudice! It's great!

Emma by Jane Austen/"All for One, and One for All"

I have just finished a magnificent English novel by Jane Austen. I have read another novel by her, Pride & Prejudice, which is a favorite of mine, but this particular read was titled Emma. For short, the book was amazing! Passionate, Witty, Unpredictable, Lively, and Believable, I was sitting in Highbury with Emma, dancing with Frank Churchill in the Crown, or occassionally overhearing a chat between Mrs. Weston and Mr. Knightley at the Randalls. I only wish that I could let Jane Austen know how appreciated her novels are. Its hard to believe this particular novel was first published in 1816.

                                    

I created a link for you to see my review of the novel on Goodreads. A great site I would highly recommend you check out some time. :)

Also tonight I saw The Three Musketeers! The setting, scenery, plot, and cast were all incredibly done. I was especially impressed with the performance of Logan Lerman as D'Artagnan. (It took me some time to get over his hair though!) The movie was very different from the version of the story I was used to but I believe it may have been more like the book which is much more sastifying. I must admit though I already have a partiality for the tale considering it is French. I happen to like France very much due to the fact that my grandmother ( I call her Kiki. pronounce: kick-key sorta?) is from France. I've never been but have been dying to since I was a little girl. Eitherway I need to go, sorry if I bored you or anything. Au Revoir!
