Some of the details from this year’s wrapping.

One thing i will say…..i put so much time and effort into wrapping presents. I only use solid colored wrapping paper. I always decorate using solid colored ribbon. I never use pre made bows…i make my own. I never just bag an item. I find a box….and WRAP it. Lol i feel it has become my little signature. And i think it just adds that special holiday feel and shows how much i care about each and every gift.

it is a tradition in our family to eat italian food on christmas eve and christmas. so spaghetti it is!

btw

definitely going to see les miserables tomorrow with my mommy

can’t. friggin. wait.

just got done wrapping all of my presents. my back huuuuuurts lol

i still don’t feel in the holiday spirit. but i haven’t really had that feeling in years. so i’m not shocked.

merry christmas everyone!

i wanna go back to sleep.

1. cecilia by simon and garfunkle- in the house i grew up in we had a huuuuuge living room. every time we would vacuum we would push the furniture to the walls. obviously, leaving a big open space to…what else….dance! my sister sarah and i would put on simon and garfunkle, specifically this song and dance together for as long as we could.
2. sweetpea  by tommy roe- my mom’s nickname for me as a kid was ‘sweetpea’ and she would sing it to me all the time. most of the time when i was with her she would wake me up by singing it.
3. wild montana skies by john denver and emmylou harris- my memory of this song is driving through the english contryside with my mom and singing this song with her. we had the john denver cassette tape and this was the only duet on it so we would play it over and over and just sing together.
4. my flight for heaven my blake hensen- last fall my teacher gave our choir this piece of music to learn. one thursday we worked it really hard and decided to put it in our festival set. they day after that my best friend, who was in the choir as well and was particularly fond of the song, died is a car accident. this song is all about a should leaving the physical world and going to heaven. every time we sang it it was for her. one time while we were singing in a church the bells, which were turned off, started ringing every time we had a rest, and perfectly in tune. it was our angel making music one more time with us.
5. fatlip by sum 41- this song brings me back to the summer of 2001. watching mtv’s TRL and top 10. this song was on the top of the charts that summer.
6. 1234 by the plain white t’s- this is mine and jeff’s song. need i say more?
7. basically every classic backstreet boys song- i loved and still love the backstreet boys. i would fall asleep listening to their music every night. my cousin and i would turn on their CDs and cut out anything that had to do with BSB from magazines.
8. carry on my wayward son by kansas- there is just something about this song. every time i hear it i get really excited and happy.
9. brick house by the commodores- my friends always told me this was my theme song lol they would sing it when i entered and exited wherever we were lol
10. part of my world from the little mermaid sung by jodi benson-my dad tells me that i could sing the whole entire score to the little mermaid before i could really talk. i have been singing my heart out to this song since before i could remember. ever since i was young people have asked me to randomly sing to them, this is the song i would always sing.
