is this christmas?

As I sit in the lounge of my dorm hall, doing homework, I am surrounded by Christmas decorations and hearing the sounds of people talking in the hallway. I think to myself how I am blessed to be right where I am. I am having a homework date with my friend, Laura and have had a very productive night. I am really stressed with all the work that  I have but I am trusting in God to get me through it! I know He can and in 8 days I will be home for Christmas.  Christmas is in the air everywhere. Music, decorations, trees, lights and cookies. However, I don't see much Christmas cheer yet. Hoepfully, when I am not as stressed,  I will get into the Christmas mood.  I can not wait to go home and just be with my family and be done my first semester! ANd I don't know what else to write on here so I will call it quits for the night!  Soon  to come will be the top ten reasons why I just love Christmas.
