1) It means that I am DONE with the Fall semester. I actually finished last Thursday and have been taking it in ever since. I still can't get over the fact that I don't have ONE final to study for. I am completely final free. Don't be jealous, though, I have paid my dues in finals. Now I am just in Huntsville spending time with friends and packing/getting rid of things in my room. It's a process that I so don't enjoy!
2) It means that I get to see precious Christmas Parades in sweet lil' Huntsville, Texas and go through a tour of Bethlehem. Every year the churches in Huntsville get together to put on a "Tour through Bethlehem" It is the neatest thing, and we enjoyed it thoroughly this year. They do such a good job depicting it and it is so real. I loved it.
3) It means that I get to take fun Christmas pictures in front of the HUGE Christmas tree on campus. It is just a sight to see...and so pretty at night! We had a blast for the HOUR that we were there goofing off. I felt like a 5th grader again, but loved every moment.
4) It means that I can have girl nights without having to get up at the butt crack of dawn...and this is enough reason to smile!
5) It means that I am headed to Colorado for Christmas! Hallelujah! My whole family is from there, my parents moved to Texas 22 years ago for a job transfer thinking they'd be back to Colorado after a year. Well, 22 years later, we're still in Texas. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Texas and love that I am from here, but I too, love Colorado. Especially at Christmas because of that blanket of snow! We haven't been there for Christmas in a while, so I am excited. It's fun to be with the whole family, from both sides. A good time is bound to be had and I can't wait!
6) It means that I get to celebrate the birth of my Savior. And that alone is enough to celebrate CHRISTmas!
7) It means that I get to trot along in my daily life and bust out Christmas songs. Oh, what a joy! I love singing Christmas songs. There is just something about them that make em' so darn fun. Maybe it's the fact that you can only sing them one time a year! (Really, I just love to crank up Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas! *GASP* Is that legal?!)
8) And lastly, it means that I have ONE more semester left of my college career. Oh my. I don't know if I should be happy, sad, joyful, anxious, nervous, excited...or what not. But, I love that I am almost a college graduate!
So, that's why I am excited that Christmas time is here. (Sung in true Charlie Brown style!)

Congratulations!!! Only one more semester!! I loved seeing your pictures! Now, I must ask... two things:
1). Does the hippo song bug you? ...and the chipmunk song?
2). Where did you get that adorable hat? I want to get it for my daughter!

By the way, I think I changed my "display name", so you, or others (me) don't get confused between the other Jaclyn (which by the way is Jaclyn Parker, not me as your links say ;)) and me...I keep looking at Jaclyn's comments and wondering when I wrote them. :)
Well, I feel blonde now 'cause I just realized I had a picture, so you can tell the difference between commenters...oh well :)

Linds, that’s a whole lot to be EXCITED about…your good God has so freely given to you. You so honor HIM with your words, your ways, your world. I just think the world of your twenty two years or so…You are His treasure, His treasured Possession---Deut 7: 6-7…you possess such a passion. Have a great weekend….we are at high school HOMECOMING over here. Remember those days???
