Feliz Navidad!
Merry Christmas everybody! Remember Jesus is the reason we celebrate, and that it IS actually okay to say Xmas, because X is the greek letter chi, which in fact, means Christ! (all the IXA girls should definitely know that!)
Anyways, I saw 'Return of the King' last night with Linda. It was a great movie, but I think I will enjoy it more when I'm not sick. Legolas was awesome....and beautiful! 'Two Towers' is my favorite out of the three though.
I saw this on robinsky and breezybird's journals and thought about waiting til the 31st, but Christmas Eve will do.

2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I think I made one to have an enjoyable time in Mexico....which I kept. I'll make one this year.
