Oh The Weather Outside is Frightful

This is SOO NOT how I planned on spending my Christmas.

This is my favorite time of year. Some of my best memories as a child were from Christmas. Traditions and family. The reason for the season. All of it I absolutely love. And I've always wanted to have a white Christmas like this, an EPIC one. But..

I'm stuck at my apartment in Norman and my family lives in Edmond. Luckily my roomie couldn't make it to New Mexico for her family Christmas either so I'm not alone, but I really wish I was getting to spend this holiday with my family. (No offense Kat, I love you! haha) Wake up in the morning with my little brother and sister and watch their eyes light up when they open all of their presents. See how grateful and excited they are. Play in the snow. Drink hot chocolate. Watch Christmas movies. Read "T'was the Night Before Christmas". I wish I was getting to do all of that with them.

On the other hand, I'm very grateful that all of my family is safe tonight. Even if we're not all together, at least we're all okay. So, I guess this taught me how to be thankful. At least it's something. And I'm gonna have an amazing time playing out in the snow tomorrow. But let's hope this whole being snowed in thing doesn't last too long, otherwise I might lose my mind. Merry Christmas =)
