Merry Christmas!!!

It's been a wonderful Christmas if I do say so myself. Spending time with the family and just relaxing at home is always the best. The only thing that's not great about this winter is the fact that there's no snow down here. :( There's plenty in the mountains (which I'm so happy about...now I just need to go skiing), but down here, where all our houses are, it's quite bare....and green.

♫I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.....Just like the one

s I used to know....where the tree tops glistened and children listened To hear sleigh bells in the snow.....♫

(yes, I'm aware that the lyrics to the original song are not in past tense in the second phrase.)

BIG NEWS!!! Ok, so anyone who reads what I'm about to say is going to think I'm crazy....and weird. But to me it's amazing!!! So I follow famous people on Twitter. Who doesn't? And James and Oliver Phelps are two people I follow (they play Fred and George Weasley, respectively). So last night, I tweeted that I would have the best Christmas ever if either (or both) of them would reply back to me.....JAMES PHELPS REPLIED!!!! :D Oh man oh man, if you only knew how much I freaked out inside. Poor guy though, gets so many of those from his fans....but I'm happy. I've been hoping someone would reply to one of my tweets, or retweet it, and James Phelps did!! Sooo happy!! :) :) :)

Look at those good lookin' men ha! From left --> right: Tom Felton (Drac

o Malfoy), Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), James Phelps (Fred Weasley), and Oliver Phelps (George Weasley). It would be such a dream come true if I could ever meet any of them. I can always hope!

I'm also more of a fan for James Phelps. Well not "more of a fan," I just fancy him more. Oh yes. An average person may think "how can you tell the difference between the two? And they're the same, why do you like James more?" Yet, for the true Harry Potter and Phelps twins fans, you can tell the difference and they do have their differences.

Just because they're twins doesn't mean they're the same...Anyway, once you can spot the differences between the two, it's really not that hard to distinguish who is whom.

We'll meet each other someday James...

Anyway, this break overall has been great. I got to see my friends and just relax and now worry about school. Yay! Oh, and I've been reading books that I haven't read because I know I won't get the time to read them once school starts again.

I (finally) finished Life of Pi, which was actually better than I thought it would be. Still debating what story to believe in the end...ha. And then Sundays at Tiffany's was quite interesting, too. Not to shabby.

Back to Christmas though!!! My parents rock, they got me Harry Potter Legos, clothes, money, and...... a TELESCOPE!!! Ah!! So super excited!! It ha

s a computer programmed in it so it can move by itself if you want it, and you can see Saturn with it! I have yet tried that, but I did see the moon last night!! All the craters and marias....oh man oh man. Call me a nerd, but it's the best present ev.er.

To Saturn we go!!

Now, I'm hoping it will snow. A lot. And that I can go skiing. I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays!! Remember the true meaning of CHRISTmas. Were it not for Jesus, who was born of Mary, the Atonement could not happen. Let us all remember that it is better to give than receive! Service is always the best way to make oneself happy!! Have a merry Christmas and all other holidays you may celebrate in your home!!! :)
