Happy December!
In lieu of posting anything substantial, I decided that I would share with you all some nice jason mraz lyrics. I REALLY like that one song, "Unfold", but the lyrics below are from "Sleeping to Dream".

I'm counting my sheep and each one that passes is another dream to ashes
and they all fall down.
As I lay me down tonight,
I close my eyes and what a beautiful sight
I'm sleeping to dream about you
I'm so tired of having to live without you
So I'm sleeping to dream about you and I'm so tired

I found myself in the riches (Your eyes, your lips, your hair.) Well you were everywhere
But I woke up in the ditches.
I hit the light and I thought you might be here
but you were nowhere. You were nowhere at home.

Something about that last line just struck me so much. "Nowhere at home"...have you ever had that feeling where someone is your home? It's scary, isn't it? Terrifying, almost. There is so much vulnerability, so much capacity for pain...but also so much for joy. And Christmas is all about joy, love, family, friends, yadda yadda yadda, all of the traditional sentimental blabber. But, REALLY though, Christmas always makes me overly sentimental. I get all teary-eyed watching movies like "Stepmom" and "When Harry Met Sally" (haha yes i know, what an eclectic dvd movie collection i have, eh? *wink*) and I start to give people random hugs that turn into long embraces if they don't forcefully yank my arms away first. *grin* anywayyyyy, merry december everyone, it's a BEEEAUTIFUL month (because i'm turning TWENTY-ONE FINALLY!)...someone sing me a christmas carol and let's all wish for lots of snow!! =)
