To be honest, that's one of my least favorite Christmas songs. I've always been more towards the religious Christmas songs such as O Holy Night (which is my all time favorite Christmas song), Little Drummer Boy, Silent Night and the like, but there are tons of Christmas songs that I like, even though I've never been a Christmas type person.

So my youngest sister, Arielle has been a gracious host and offered to take us, mostly Eero, around ( Read more... )

Unfortunately, the trip to CA is a no-go. I'm a bit sad that I can't see my extended family or God-parents, but it's okay. My dad is able to make it out to see me, which is the most important thing.

We drove down to San Antonio (~300mi or ~500km) to visit my sisters, who just so happened to be in the middle of a move ( Read more... )
