christmas time.

Christmas is the most beautiful time of year.
Singers croon out the christmas carols, lights are strung, snow is falling.
Nat King Cole. Elvis. Canadian Tenors. Tony Bennett. Diana Krall.
Every year I feel so much joy just at the thought of the season.
It may even be a bit much. But that's OK: I wait 11 months for my favorite season. I think I deserve to go a little overboard.

What a difference a year makes. This time, last year, I was serving latte's and folding jeans, just hoping, praying, that I would get into Nursing and back to school. Celebrating the season was overshadowed with the uncertainty of school. Now, a year ahead, I'm finishing up my first year and have been blessed in more ways than I can count.

Although, I must say that getting accepted into Nursing on Christmas Eve was the sweetest thing ever.
