It's the Christmas Time of Year

Jingle bells. Jingle bells. Jingle all the way.

Christmas is the time for all sorts of traditions... from cookies to trees and all that is in between!

1. Singing Christmas Songs For All to Here

“O Holy Night” is a great one to start everything out with! It is the perfect song to remember what the season is all about and put your focus on the coming of a Savior.
“All I Want For Christmas is You” This may be one of the most perfect annual Christmas songs, it sums up the year and relationships and the importance of Christmas and being with those that you love.
“It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” So what could Christmas be without this song? Christmas is that magical time of the year that comes just once and is an absolute necessity to listen too.
Do You Hear What I Hear? And again, where did this song start? But Christmas is Christmas... Traditions are traditions....
Carol of the Bells Yet tradition comes around again.
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas What would Christmas be without Merry?
Let It Snow

2. Get yourself a Christmas Tradition, whether that be with all the neighbors or friends and gathering together in community or any other type of thing.

3. Go pick out the perfect tree - whether that is a fake tree or a real tree or going and cutting the tree or any other thing.

4. GO LOOK AT CHRISTMAS LIGHTS. Go enjoy the lights and Christmas!

5. Watch and Enjoy all those Christmas commercials - there is only one type of year for that and all the cute Target Dogs and all else that comes with them.

6. Drink some hot cocoa. Even better though, add some peppermint to it.

7. Always remember the reason for the season. It started with a baby in the manger and it should always stay the focus.

Letter To My High School Friend Group

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
