Tis The Season For Merry-Friendsgiving

It's that time of year again when the holidays are around the corner. We all have a favorite holiday. What's yours? Do you have a favorite or do you mix two together like Christmas and Thanksgiving and call it a Merry-Friendsgiving?

Since Thanksgiving and Christmas are around the corner it's that time of year for the holiday spirit, the foods, and the smells that fill our houses. Thanksgiving is that time of year to feel blessed and thankful for everything that we have. Why stop at the holidays to remember this stuff? Being thankful and blessed shouldn't be a one-time event. We should always remember to count our blessings! Good health, or great family and friends that are always there to support you along the way.

Both holidays have their sparks and what we love about them. I mean who doesn't like Thanksgiving it's a day just for eating, and can we talk about Christmas. Christmas is literally the most wonderful time of year. Why is Christmas so special well, many factors come into play like the lights, stockings, music, Christmas trees, and the nativity scenes to represent our Savior who was born on Christmas.

Have you ever had a friend that made you look at something in a different way? One thing that has changed my life and it can change others this holiday season is how we view the movie "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Yes, this is a Christmas movie, but it has a message that we can fulfill all year round. The message is that we can be haunted by our past and it can hurt but we can also let go and have our hearts grow in love and the spirit of the people around us. Because Christmas isn't about the gifts. It's about giving and sharing the love we have for others. Even if your heart has been worn down, it can be blessed again and be fulfilled. Christmas is also a great holiday because it truly reveals the quote "it is better to give than to receive."

In a world full of Grinches, be a Cindy Lou Who. No matter what time of year it is.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
