Thanksgiving is often overlooked because it's only a month away from the most exciting holiday of the year. I love thanksgiving, but I never feel like it's a real break for me because it's right before finals start. Christmas is one of my favorite holidays along with Halloween (yes, I love Halloween that much). It's not necessarily because it's the rare occasion where my parents spoil me, although that is a perk. More so, it's because I finally have a period in my busy life where I'm not worrying about school or work and spending lots of time with my family and dog. Every year, my sister and I have our biannual LOTR (Lord of the Rings for all you non-nerds) extended edition, movie marathon. In a way it's like a detox for me because what girl doesn't dream of having an Aragorn in her life? I know it's weird, but every LOTR girl fan is thinking it. 

Since starting college, Christmas has gotten more boring over the years. My siblings and I are all grown up now, so we usually ask for money because we don't have to worry about mom and dad buying us the wrong things, haha. I decided it would be more fun to have something to be excited about Christmas morning and not just ask for an envelope with money in it. I can't wait to spend my holidays in pajamas snuggling up with Charlie and watching LOTR. 

The sweet memories and traditions are not too far from now, so keep your chin up!
