I am looking forward to seeing my family this Christmas! I haven’t seen them in 7 months since I’ve been in the military. Just seeing them will be the best present anyone could ever give me!

Nice stuff! What I love about the holiday season is getting together with my family and listening to Christmas music. Putting up a tree and putting on ornaments is also something I love to do– so pretty to look at daily.

For me, it’s a holiday break from school to give my mind a break. I’m looking forward to a good three weeks of spending time with my family and friends and to do nothing but what my mind puts me to besides focusing on college.

Since 1995, we’ve traveled & camped. This year we have moved into a home in Houston & I have a new kitchen & space to cook for my family. Two refrigerators & two freezers are full of food including baked goodies. We will celebrate the holidays at my home this year & I am so looking forward to being with my family.

My brother has been serving abroad in South Korea for 3 years and he is finally coming home. To celebrate, he asked that we all go to Hawaii together for Christmas. It’s going to be a very special holiday and reunion.
