I've purchased a couple Christmas gifts, so I am making some progress. I'll be done with school in half a week and able to shop, decorate, send cards, and bake.
I didn't win the Ugly Christmas Sweater contest, but I sure did try. :)

Christmas 2
Thankfully, my grandma found me a small tree at the thrift shop she works at, so I'm set. I've been clothed by that place since childhood. Anyone in the Manhattan, KS area check it out, Seven Dolors Catholic Church Budget Shop. My tree is about four feet tall and has white, green, and red lights; so cute. I plan to decorate it after finals. Just remembered I don't have a tree topper. I may make one. I'm thinking cardboard, alumninum foil, a hot glue gun, and glitter. My masterpiece star from high school sits proudly on my parent's Christmas tree every year. It does the job.

The vest has Christmas bears on it and the shirt underneath has Christmas trees. Felt pretty silly, but had lots of fun! In other news, at the party while dressed in my ugly Christmas outfit, I ran into the guy that wrecked into my car like 3+ years ago. The one I kinda went out with a few times back then. Kinda weird. He's air force, how the heck is he still stationed here?! Awkward!

Christmas
This will be my first Christmas in my apartment. I'd like to get a small Christmas tree and a Christmas wreath.
More than anything, I'd can't wait to pass this class so I can get into the Christmas spirit.
So far, I have only purchased one Christmas present and that was over summer. So, I've got a long way to go. This year, I'm on a tighter budget. Boo! I guess, it will make me more creative. :)
I've always said I love a simple Christmas. I hate holidays being overdone. I love the simplicity of doing enough to make it special, but still be able to enjoy it. Sometimes all the plans and hype take the focus away from what Christmas is all about. Christmas is about God who sent His Son, Jesus to save us from our sin. Without this great gift, we could never hope to go to heaven, but God made a way for us through Jesus. Amen!
