Back to the grind...

I may have already used this blog title, but to be honest I can't remember. Thanksgiving break is over as of tomorrow morning at 9:05. I'm so bummed. I didn't do a whole lot of anything over the break (including studying) but it sure went by fast. Highlights? Those include spending exuberant amounts of time with Riley, Bailey, and Mattie, Christmas shopping, Christmas pictures (one set with mom, one set with dad), hanging out with my Soulmates, and spending a lot of time with my grandparents. In my opinion it was a break well spent. Just need to make it through these CRAZY three weeks until I can get home (and then to MAINE!!!). And by crazy, I mean I have 18 papers, tests, presentations, and/or projects due before the 17th. Yuck.

And for a final note, I drove my 3 hour drive back to school today listening to a lot of Christmas music and a lot of Taylor Swift. And I just wanted to share this song with you all. It really is what this time of year is all about. :)

What if ribbons and bows didn't mean a thing
Would the song still survive without five golden rings
Would you still wanna kiss without misletoe
What would happen if God never let it snow
What would happen if Christmas carols told a lie
Tell me what would you find

You'd see that today holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more

What if angels did not pay attention to
All the things that we wished they would always do
What if happiness came in a cardboard box
Then I think there is something we all forgot
What would happen if presents all went away
Tell me what would you find

You'd see that today holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more

We get so caught up in all of it
Business and relationships
Hundred mile an hour lives
And it's this time of year
And everybody's here
It seems the last thing on your mind

Is that the day holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So here's to Jesus Christ who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
But here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something more
