Seven days

+ One week, SEVEN DAYS left until december. I have mixed feelings about christmas coming, or December.

Here are some things that I am looking forward next month.

- Christmas songs on the radio

- Christmas decorations everywhere

-Many opportunities to give, serve and share with others

-A time to share with family and loved ones

-Buy presents or make them. I wish there could be a rule and you could only give presents made by you. It makes the gift more special. And then if there is anything you have always wanted to have you can buy it yourself since you'd didn't have to spend money buying expensive gifts for others that maybe they didn't even wanted them in the first place. So is a win win situation. 

-Have fun decorating gifts. This is my favorite part. 

-Photos with Santa

-Read Christmas stories

-Snow

- Go to temple square to see the lights and then have a hot chocolate. 

- Help my grandma decorate her table and fill it with candies and desserts. 

- Guatemala food, tamales and paches. Specially paches, they are my favorite. 

- Fireworks with the cousins 

- Service projects


All of these things are my favorite things to do in december. Now for some reason, I just dont want to do it. My brother says I am the Grinch now. Then after thinking about it maybe I am just not used to spending Christmas in another country, or I really still have no idea. But making this list made me realize I do love december, and love christmas. There are so many fun things to do. 

I love making lists, I dont know if I have ever told you, but my favorite thing to do is make lists. I will make lists about anything. And this is one of the things I love about it. Writing the things I love on  this list made me realize how much I like and enjoy this month of the year.

I need to write a bigger list. 

So if you ever feel bad about something, or dont like something, make a list of the good things, the positive things about it, so you can like it , and if there are no good things you like, then think about the good things that could come from doing that thing you want to avoid. 

I hope you all enjoy this time a year too.
