Honestly this holiday season has been a bit lonely and sad for me. The Christmas season is usually a time to gather with friends and family for various social gatherings (book group, cookies exchanges), a time to go to different Christmas activities (Wolf Trap holiday sing-a-long, the holiday market in downtown Washington D.C., or watch A Christmas Carol at Ford's Theater), and a time to sing Christmas carols at home and at church etc. It's been weird and lonely not being able to do most of these things.
Although I haven't been able to do most of my normal stuff for Christmas, I have been able to do some things this December.
Earlier this month, I walked around Burke Lake. (Not that walking around the lake was Christmasy but it's still an activity I did this month).
My roommates and I made gingerbread houses. This was my first time ever making a gingerbread house so don't judge me too harshly. ;)
It snowed! Yay! Since I had nowhere to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. (It snowed one day and the snow was pretty much melted a couple of days later, but I still enjoyed it!)
My roommates and I decided to visit the drive-thru temple lights. It took us about a half an hour to get through because of the line of cars, but it was fun. The lights were pretty!
I went to the dentist for a root canal the day before Christmas Eve. (I was so nervous about the root canal that I was crying at the beginning of the appointment and the dentist and her assistant had to speak words of comfort to me.) (This is what my face looks like when half of my mouth is numb.)
I've been reading a lot, watching movies, calling family and friends to chat on the phone, working, going on walks, writing in my journal, singing a long to Christmas carols at home, preparing for my sacrament meeting talk (that has now been postponed twice for various reasons) etc.
