Breaking News

I'm sick! Stop the presses! Alert the media! It's a breaking story! No, seriously, this happens like once every blue moon. I woke up this morning feeling TERRIBLE! But I've gotten better as the day has gone on. I hope I'm feeling better by tomorrow night. I've got a Christmas party I want to go to. And yes, I know I ended that sentence with a preposition.
I can't believe there are only nine days till Christmas. It seems like I've been waiting forever, but looking back now, it hasn't been that long at all. The days should fly from here on. Friday, I go to my girlfriend's school's Christmas program; Saturday, we're going to see my grandparents; Sunday, my sister has a Christmas program at church; Monday, I get to see my uncle and meet my future aunt; next Wednesday is my one year anniversary with my girlfriend (man! Time has flown!) Hey, come on, it just wouldn't be Christmas if I wasn't so busy that I thought I was gonna go crazy. My prayer has been, though, that I would keep a clear focus on why we celebrate Christmas in the first place.
