1st things 1st. I don't usually like to give dan compliments, but i enjoyed his most recent post. I think being that we're all second semester seniors now, we're all trying to cling onto that little something before it's actually time to grow up. I know I've been trying to hold onto, and consequently replay over and over, this year's christmas party. I know i talked about it last time, but as Warren said in one of the comments on (another dan compliment...man) the great photos from the evening, thank you to everyone who made the party what it was. It was truly, and i think we can all agree, or at least for me, one of the most memorable nights we've had at school as a group. The same is true for the gift exchange the next day. Everyone did a great job with the gifts they made, or in Shauna's case, bought. It was so nice how at the end of the semester everyone really embraced christmas and everything it's about. From Holiday Inn to Jimmy Stewart impressions to decorating the apartment, to the Vince Guaraldi Charlie Brown Christmas album (which we all must have listened to 1,000 times), it was such an enjoyable holiday season, even with finals. It's amazing to think that come January 19th, we'll be starting our last semester as undergraduates. Our first (any only) last semester. I know there's plenty of more fun to be had. I think we've started some great new traditions, as well as realized that it's possible for us to make a great "family" dinner, as seen by Thanksgiving and Christmas party. I have a feeling we're going to have to start making up holidays just so we can have more parties, sort of like our own "Holiday Inn." Have a swell break, and a swell holiday, everyone.

Happy Christmas, See you soon,
m.w.w.
It was definitely the highlight of Fall semester and a great time. So much fun with great people. Thank you guys so much for hosting it.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll enjoy my next two entries as I have the tendency to do the replaying of enjoyable times over in my head as well and think this is a pretty good place to share them.
It kinda sucks that we're going to be all over the place next year, but North Jersey seems like a pretty "middle ground" place to throw a party. Let's do it!
